Hi! I’m Charlotte, I’m 13 years old, and I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to travel to Africa in October 2026 with my school to volunteer in local schools and communities through African Adventures.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience where I’ll help support children’s education, learn about another culture, and give something back — and I’m so excited! But to make this happen, I need to raise up to £2,215 to cover the cost of the trip.

My Plan: Kindness + Courage + Creativity

Over the next year, I’ll be taking on a series of challenges and fundraising events to reach my goal. First up:

14-Day Kindness Marathon – I’ll do one act of kindness every day for 2 weeks and share the journey on my Facebook page

7-Day Screen-Free Challenge – no social media, no YouTube, no games… just books, family time, and fresh air!

I’ll be doing lots more throughout the year — bake sales, handmade gifts, maybe even a sponsored run — and I’ll keep posting updates.

How You Can Help

If you'd like to support me, here are some ways:

Donate £1 per act of kindness (or £14 for the full challenge)

Give whatever you can – every pound counts

Or do your own "act for an act" – a kindness in return for mine!

Anyone who donates £10 or more will receive a handmade thank-you card or sticker that I’ve designed myself as a small gift.

Thank You

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Every act of kindness — donation, share, or kind word — helps me get one step closer to making a difference in someone else’s life.
