Hello, my name is Ebubechukwu 'Jed' Akiri.

I am a student of Duchy college, Rosewarne of the Cornwall college group and I am in the Uniformed services Course. I am starting this fundraiser to raise money for me and my friends to go for the trip to London that the course sets up. It is actually hosted by our sister college in Stoke Climsland but they invite us to join them.

It is a yearly trip that takes those interested, to see and experience what some of us will be doing when we enter the uniformed services, from the armed police to the king's guard.

It is also a great opportunity for outdoor learning as the knowledge could come in handy as the year goes on.

This fundraiser is important to me because of my friends, some of them would actually love to see some the services in action in real life and I want to give them that. It is also a great chance for me to develop my leadership skills, my sense of responsibility and commitment and also help cultivate awareness about the other service options available in the uniformed service amongst my course mates while inspiring them to take action for things bigger than themselves.

the Goal is £2,300:

1. £2,010 is the fee for all six of us to go

2. £200 is for us to have funds for emergencies or other unexpected expenses.

3. £190 will be for us to come back home on the day of our arrival back to campus (I'm not sure how much it actually is but it's better to be safe than sorry {I speak from last years' experience}).

I know it's a tight spot, but we need the money before 6 of February 2026.

As to help boost donations I will upload my Strava runs session at least 2x a week.

Thank you.
