It is nearly D Day for Ollie Mason who on 4th July will be walking from John O'Groats to Lands End in 60 Days, carrying 20 litres of water unaided to, in his words, "emulate the struggle faced by millions of people - mostly women &    children - who are forced to walk huge distances to collect their daily water needs". Ollie wants to draw attention to this still massive issue and in the process raise funds for 6 charities; one of them T4A member Breakthrough Foundation.  Ollie, who is only 23 is a fantastic role model for young people.

Africa Oyé returns to Sefton Park, Liverpool in 2011

February 7, 2011 By 1 Comment

Africa Oyé is the UK's largest celebration of African music and culture and takes place annually in Liverpool. Beginning in 1992 as a series of small gigs in the city centre, the event has gone from strength-to-strength, moving to its present Sefton Park home in 2002 to cope with demand. With too many negative representations of Africa entrenched in images of war, disease, poverty and famine, Oyé seeks to redress the balance and highlight the fantastic range of cultures, foods, music and artists that make this great continent one of the most vibrant and inspiring in the world. The festival … [Read more...]

It was a great day

January 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Our "pampering day" for charities was a great success. 26 charities made it to Bradford for a day packed with inspiring speeches and presentations, animated discussions, a chance to question the representatives from DIFD and Comic Relief, some useful social networking tips and the opportunity to meet people who talk the same language. We only wished it had been a bit longer. Soon we will disclose some of our findings  and help you discover the bare bones of small charities. It is so encouraging to find that many of us are willing to share their ideas, admit failures so we can all learn or … [Read more...]

Running for Books

September 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment
young people of Tanzania are desperate for an education only a lack of resources is holding them back

Dear Friends Clive Shiret, one of our Trustees (53 years old) is running in the Berlin marathon  on the 26th September 2010. He is running to raise money for a primary school whose lack of books is frightening. How can a young person get an education without text books? Sharing one book between 8 or 9 students is not getting an education. By sponsoring Clive and reaching our target of £4000 we can buy enough books to reduce that ration to 1 book per 3 students. whilst not perfect, it is so much better than what they do today. Every penny of your donation will go towards buying … [Read more...]
