Please take a look at our short film about the work we do in Tanzania. The footage was taken during our visit to Songea last year, and shows the main activities that we help to make happen thanks to your support. The film was kindly put together for us by the Royal Bank of Scotland Group Communications Team. Many thanks to them for all their help.

Well done to Andrea Caldwell for successfully completing the Glasgow 10km Race on Sunday 18th May. As you can see, Andrea looks happy with her achievement, and deservedly so, as she raised almost £200! Many thanks to Andrea for her efforts and to the staff from the Lanarkshire Learning Disability Service who generously donated the money raised.

Charly Mathers and Neil Mathers successfully raised over £600 after completing the 156 mile journey round the Cairngorms on 6 July 2008. The route started at Pitlochry and went round by Dalwhinnie, Aviemore, Tomintoul, Braemar and back to Pitlochry. The challenging route covered some of the hilliest roads in Scotland. The killer combination of the Lecht, the Gairnsheil and the military road to Crathie was particularly strength sapping. However the scenery was spectacular and this helped inspire the duo over the tough terrain. The climb of the Cairnwell took its toll of the riders late on in the journey but they held on for a big welcome from supporters at Pitlochry.

The time taken to complete the ride was 13 hours 29 minutes. Quite a few people had a go at guessing the time it would take to complete the ride. Times ranged from 5 hours to 17 hours, but Rebecca Main’s estimate of 12 hours 34 minutes was the closest; winning her a bottle of Tomintoul Single Malt.
