CURRENT CHARITY ROLES
• As part of Anthony Nolan’s Register & Be A Lifesaver (R&Be) education program I have
now fully trained as a volunteer to give inspirational presentations to 16–18-year-olds
explaining how they could save a life through bone marrow, blood and organ donation. I have
spent 2015 visiting Schools within Hampshire and Dorset.
• Working as a volunteer for the The Stable Family Home Trust (SFHT), which is a Registered
Charity that supports people with a learning disability to lead ordinary lives with some
extraordinary moments. Loving every minute of it and hopefully making a small difference!

2. • In 2014 I joined a wonderful charity KOP (Kenyan Orphan Project), which was started in 2001
and has since helped rebuild the lives of thousands of the poorest and disadvantaged children in
the world. On November 14th 2014, myself and 49 other intrepid riders flew to Uganda on the
start of an epic 450km cycle ride - Making Tracks 2014. The route took us from Kampala,
through south east Uganda and Jinja (the source of the River Nile), across the border and round
Lake Victoria into Kenya, finishing in Kisumu 6 days later. I raised over £3000 in sponsorship for
the charity, and overall the team raised over £150,000 for KOP.
• On my return from Africa I enrolled immediately on a one-year Apprenticeship Scheme being
run by KOP, which then changed its brand to CHILD.org in the summer of 2015. The scheme
teaches participants everything about the third-sector world and provides grounding and support
for entry into charities across the world. As part of this scheme I was able to return to Kisumu in
Kenya as a team leader supporting the Kunya Primary School project. As part of the team we
worked very closely with the School, the local community and the children in building a Kitchen
Garden, a Nursery and an Orchard for the school. We also developed an Operational Manual
and I am currently working on a Business Plan for the Primary School for sustained
development.
• I have recently become a Progression Mentor for the Princes Trust and am awaiting my first
assignment.
• In the longer term, setting up my own charity which will establish a Buddying Scheme between
the Elderly and Teenagers. Initial pilot in my own town using Local Government funding.

in Kenya. I was assigned as a Team Leader for Kunya Primary School where we built a
Kitchen Garden, a Nursery and an Orchard and developed an Operational Manual for
sustainable development of the School.

Children’s Hospice and £10,000 for the Kent Air Ambulance: My company subsequently

treatment and recuperation from the horrendous and debilitating effects of the radiation.

support and therapy for a severely autistic boy in Vancouver and was achieved by climbing

event helped contribute to a re-evaluation by the Canadian Government on financial support
