Help raise £5000 for A-sisterhood and Become!

Northampton dog groomer raises funds for charity !

As an animal lover, and champion for vulnerable voices, I have decided to challenge myself to raise £5000 for Charity on my Miss Universe Great Britain journey.

1/3 of care leavers will become homeless within 2 years of leaving the care system, often because they pursue self development opportunities.

This is particularly dangerous for young girls, as 1/3 of trafficked children in the uk are “looked after”, this strongly suggests they have been re-trafficked . thus once they leave care, are vulnerable to trafficking once more .

I would love to raise awareness as to what a "care leaver" is and change public perceptions of care experienced young people.

Barry keogan inspired me to take this journey!

I’m sure you agree, our children deserve a safe transition into adulthood .

I am aiming to raise

-£3000 for a-sisterhood.

-£2000 for Become.

A-sisterhood is a fundraising vehicle started by Paula abbandinato, the organiser of miss universe Great Britain.

In their own words:

"A-Sisterhood is a UK-based organisation that seeks to empower, support and protect women worldwide. Annually, we support a series of international causes and charities which are focused on helping women in need. So we put together two words that resonated with us - ‘Assist’ and ‘Sisterhood’ - and that’s how A-Sisterhood was born. Our purpose is to empower, support and protect the female the world over"

a bit about become...

Become is a charity who helped me when I had no where else to turn. through them, I've learnt my voice is needed to bring awareness of systematic failures happening in real time to MP's . They offer a community with other care experienced young people (who only make up less than 1% of the UK's population) supporting us to feel less isolated and find common ground. They also provide employment opportunities and a care advice line, a vital tool that informs young people leaving care of their rights and legal entitlements which I was not aware of.

The first £3000 will be donated to a-sisterhood, with the subsequent £2000 donated to Become.

If the total is not reached , the subsequent funds after £3000 will be donated to become.

1/3 trafficked children are “looked after”(what you think of foster care) ECPAT UK … so they’ve been retrafficked.
