What a beautiful evening in aid of Porridge and Pens with over £4000 raised.

Thank you so much to aramexuk for all the gifts donated and to the most inspirational & wonderful person, Gracie from Childrensalon. You really do organise events in true style and we are so grateful that in one evening we raised such a huge amount which will change lives.

Our Brightlingsea volunteers took away two top prizes (check out Anca’s face).

Until the next race night…..Thank you!

🇬🇭Our final day before we start the long journey home and it was another great one!
We met with Shirley and some of the girls from our wonderful Girl Power project. We had a delicious lunch at Tumi and heard about the impact the project has had on the girls lives and their hopes and dreams for the future.

We also had a lovely evening catching up with friends Clint Yeboah and Kofi.

We'd love to share with you all our stories from our trip at our event. Come along and hear about the Brightlingsea Academy as well as the plans for Girl Power Foundation.
