Charity is always something I feel so passionate about, it is moments of charity from kind people towards me in the past, that have allowed me to realise there was hope in the world even in some of the darkest days. 💖
Even before this I always felt an innate desire to fundraise having fundraised from a young age (as young as junior school) for different charities.
When I was about 9 I led a project in Junior School to fundraise for RSPCA
When I was about 13 I petitioned for a non-school uniform day in aid of Teenage Cancer trust
When I was 15 I project managed a fun-day event in my enterprise group to raise over £1000 profit for Comic Relief
I have just kept finding moments to help others since then. But what truly showed me that there were so many people who felt the same innate desire to help others is when some lovely people who were complete strangers to me turned up at my door the year I fled a violent relationship with a baby and toddler, with a whole grocery shop and some gifts to help make Christmas a bit easier for me. I was kind of in shock that people were being so nice to me, but also just so full of gratitude and hope for the world.
I now know that as long as the opportunity is presented to children and adults alike, we all have an innate desire to help others, and I want to ensure my business is an environment that fosters that desire.

On Friday, our Enterprise club at The Hampshire School Chelsea
brought their projects to life where they donated 100% of profits to charities. One of those charities which I’ve just donated to for them was Blue Cross UK
Last year they helped more than 40,000 dogs, cats, horses and if you wish you can join us in donating 😊🐶 https://lnkd.in/eVpnJV8h
