In August 2025, I will be participating in the Nepal Adventure, organised by Essex Boys and Girls Clubs. This adventure will be a significant challenge and a chance to broaden my horizons in ways I have not yet experienced.

The Essex Boys and Girls Clubs is a registered UK charity which supports young people across Essex and London. The trip will consist of exploring cultural sites in Kathmandu, followed by a week-long hike to a remote village called Barpak, where we will be staying and working with the local community to help with its development through work with various community groups and organisations. I will be working with the school to support learning, a local community group to distribute aid, and volunteering at the local library and resource centre during my stay.

As part of their project I need to fundraise £3,200 towards my place, with some of that money going towards supporting projects that I will volunteer on in the village. If you would like any more information about EBGC or the Nepal Adventure please feel free to contact the Head Office and ask for Lucy Fernie or Jay Solder on 01245 264783.

My various fundraising activities include Santa's Hat Trick Quiz night, further events in the new year, making jewellery and xmas table decorations to sell at village fetes and taking part in a 100 mile canoe challenge on the Welsh borders in May 2025.

Please donate whatever you can to support this project!

Thank you

Erin
