The serious side to Trailwalker is that we are raising money for two great causes – Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust. So what can your sponsorship do? This comes from a leaflet sent to us by Oxfam…
________________________________
Oxfam will use the money we raise from Trailwalker in its work to end poverty all over the world. See what your sponsorship can do:
Long-term development work:
£5 could pay for two school textbooks.
£50 could buy a donkey. A donkey can carry large loads over long distances, which really eases the burden of fetching and carrying supplies to and from market. Plus there’s the bonus of free fertiliser!
£100 could buy essential medicines for a whole community for six months.
£1,600 can buy a whole mango plantation – giving a farmer secure income for years.
Help in emergencies:
£23 could pay for 10 Oxfam buckets. Specially designed to keep water safe and clean, these buckets play a vital role in emergencies all over the world.
£36 could provide safe water for 50 people.
£1,440 can provide safe drinking water for 2,000 people.
And this is what the Gurkha Welfare Trust can do with the funds raised:
£14 can buy a blackboard for a school classroom.
£460 can repair the roof of a school.
£1,500 could build a whole toilet block for an eight-classroom school.
Please help us to reach our fundraising target!

Our fundraising target is £1,500, but if we can make more than this then that’s even better, the money really is put to life-changing use.
