Gemma’s story
Hi all 👋
Some of you will know that I’ve spent the last 4 years studying to become a qualified nurse 👩⚕️ I decided early on in the year that I wanted to start my career by giving back to people in need. 💖 I have chosen to volunteer with a small registered charity BACE. 🥰
BACE is a Nursery school and medical centre set up in West Africa, and provides healthcare and maternity services for many rural, under-resourced villages. I will be joining a group of amazing volunteers visit Gambia this December. 🇬🇲 My role will be based in the medical centre and support nurses to carry out health checks on mothers, babies and children within the nursery. 🩺
The charity is run by volunteers, they have no overheads in the UK so 100% of funds go directly to the project and staff wages in Gambia. To sustain these projects fund raising is essential. 🙏
I would love to say I’m running Hastings half marathon but I’m really not fit enough for that 🫣 so I’m planning on a 16 mile coastal walk from Hastings to Eastbourne on 25th October 2025. 🌊 😅
All volunteers and Trustees of the charity pay for their own travel and expenses for each trip so every penny donated will go towards the support of the outstanding work they do. 🙌❤️
I have a target of £350, every donation can make a big difference. Thank you in advance 🙏🤗
