Emilie Raises Over £1,400 to Support Community Projects in Uganda

Many Club members will know Emilie Saunders, who has spent the past three seasons volunteering her Sunday mornings to help run our Youth Café. This October half-term, Emilie took on a new challenge as she travelled to Uganda on a school expedition to support community projects and work alongside local charities.

The trip gave Emilie the opportunity to experience life in rural Ugandan communities and contribute to a range of initiatives, including educational activities, facilities support and charity-led development projects. Her time there offered valuable insight into the work being done on the ground and the positive impact international volunteers can help deliver.

Ahead of the trip, Emilie committed to raising £300 to support the organisations she would be working with. Thanks to the generosity of our Club community—and with help from several members along the way—Emilie didn’t just meet her target; she raised more than £1,400.

 

This remarkable total will directly support the charities involved in the programme, helping fund essential resources and ongoing community work.

The Club is extremely proud of Emilie’s dedication, her willingness to give back, and her continued contribution both at home and abroad. A huge thank you goes to everyone who donated and helped make her efforts such a success.
