Sadly this lovely little girl died at the weekend! She comes from the village near us and we’ve been helping her mum to get her to hospital for over 2 years as she had hydrocephalus. She was improving and her head had shrunk considerably but it wasn’t enough!

We had a great day today at the London Marathon Big Half! We had 3 runners who excelled themselves and are on the way to raising lots of money towards this term’s school fees for our children! Trustee Gavin did his personal best at 1 hr 28 mins, their friend Danny Jones was close behind at 1 hr 49 mins and then his wife Natasha completed in 2 hrs 39 mins with a painful hip!! Congratulations to you all and thanks so much for doing this for us!

Trustee Gavin Baecke and his wife Natasha are running the London Marathon event the 'BIG HALF' on 6 September 2026 for Smile Malawi. This time they will be joined by their friend Danny who is also a member of the Upchurch NSD Runners.

Only 1 day to go to the London Marathon Big Half and Smile Malawi has 3 places this year so we're hoping to raise the funds for the September term's school fees so that all our secondary school children can go back to school. Gavin and Tasha are running with their friend Danny so please support them!

We’ve been helping a 13 year old boy from our village with transport to hospital as he had a bad vascular problem in his right arm. Sadly the arm has now had to be amputated and he is in despair! Does anyone know of a charity that could help with a prosthetic arm???

We had a very successful day on Saturday in the village hall at the Art & Craft fair in aid of Smile Malawi. The charity raised nearly £500 which is really needed for the running costs of the orphanage! Massive thanks to all the stallholders and to all our visitors! There was also a real surprise from the Upchurch Cub Group who had been fundraising for us and brought along another £90+. A big thank you to them too!!

A kind lady from Bobbing WI donated this beautiful patchwork quilt to Smile Malawi recently so we raffled it yesterday at our Art & Craft fair in Upchurch village hall. My granddaughter Maisy sold the tickets and did an excellent job so it was only right that she picked out the winner this morning! We raised £100 and Chris Stevens won it! Congratulations!!
