A word from the Vine Trust...

Rachel is fundraising in aid of Vine Trust.

Vine Trust is an international development charity which connects volunteers from around the world with sustainable and effective projects which support some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Working closely with in-country partners, Vine Trust seeks to empower local people to achieve their full potential, through the provision of primary healthcare, secure accommodation, and social care and support.

To date, Vine Trust has provided over 2.5 million healthcare consultations on the Peruvian Amazon and Lake Victoria, Tanzania. Our partners and volunteers have also completed almost 150 family homes in Moshi, Tanzania, as well as the first homes at Kazunzu "Village of Hope" on the shore of Lake Victoria, providing security, shelter and a brighter future for vulnerable children and families.

Donations made through this page will contribute towards the work of Vine Trust, including the upkeep and development of the charity’s international programmes.

Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Fundraising Activity

I’m running London Marathon dressed as a banana! After multiple knee ops, a new shiny and sturdy ACL and a deferred ballot place I’m super excited to be able to run again and what better place to run than the London Marathon My beloved brother got me this banana outfit and said he’d donate £100 if I wore it for the marathon, turns out everyone else is super excited at this prospect too so donate freely We all know how much Vine Trust is close to my heart, I’ve had the great privilege to train up the teams in Tanzania and Peru in ultrasound and any money donated goes a long way in enabling them to provide accessible medical care to remote populations in Lake Victoria and the Amazon Thanks so much everyone <3
