Fundraising.
Hopefully this trip will capture people's imagination and has some potential for publicity. Whilst we hope it's going to be something we'll enjoy, we hope to use the trip to raise £10,000 for the YMCA and her sister organisation Y Care International. These are two organisations that make a real difference to the lives of young people, both at home and abroad.
Sarah has worked for the YMCA's Steps Forward project for a number of years. The project trains and supports mentors who in turn provide a network of support for young, often disadvantaged young people in the Newcastle area.
Y Care International is a relief and development agency funding and supporting projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middel East. The primary aim of which is to empower young people and their communities to find alternatives to a future of poverty and disadvantage, and to build lives and communities marked by hope and positive change.
