JHMT's Support

Harry raised an amazing £2000 by doing the Coast to Coast Challenge (142 miles!) He is donating £1000 to Rainbows and £1000 is going towards a trip he will make next summer to Tanzania where he will be taking part in volunteer work such as building homes and schools for the local communities. This also involves going out into the Savannah and helping with conservation work for the animals.

Harry's fundraising activities are well underway in an attempt to raise the £4,500 to go to Tanzania.

Harry said: ' I would feel extremely proud that I have been recognised for my hard work and enthusiasm to help another community. The Inspire Award small grant will help me greatly to hit my fundraising target as every bit helps.'

Inspire project lead Simon Taylor said: ' we are delighted to assist Harry to raise his monies that will go towards his very important trip . His generosity deserves to be recognised by this award
