Gordon’s story
This December, I will be travelling to The Gambia with BACE Charity to volunteer at their nursery school and healthcare clinic. BACE supports rural communities by providing education, healthcare, and daily meals to children who deserve the same opportunities we often take for granted.
I chose to fundraise for BACE because I’ve seen how dedicated they are and every penny raised goes directly to the charity’s work. All volunteers and trustees pay 100% of their own trip and expenses, and there are no UK overheads, no fancy offices, and no wages here at home — we are all volunteers. That means every donation genuinely supports the children, teachers, and clinic staff who need it most.
Volunteering will give me the chance to see the impact first hand, roll up my sleeves, and help where it really counts — while raising vital funds to keep this amazing work going.
I would love your support to help me reach (and hopefully exceed) my fundraising goal. Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated.
