A word from the Vine Trust...
Gillian is fundraising in aid of their Vine Trust School Expedition to Tanzania. Vine Trust School Expeditions are an opportunity for students to make a real and lasting difference to Tanzanian communities living in poverty. Working closely with our in-country partners, volunteers construct individual family homes for some of the world's most vulnerable people - providing shelter, security and hope, and empowering communities to achieve a brighter future.
Donations made through this page will contribute towards the cost of Gillian's expedition, including international flights, accommodation, food, in-country transport, and the purchase of construction materials and resources. Any additional funds raised will go towards future Vine Trust construction projects and the development of Vine Trust's programmes.
Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Fundraising Activity
In June 2027, I will be spending two weeks with other students and teachers from Peebles High School and the Vine Trust in the Moshi in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. We will be actively participating in construction projects under the mentorship of local builders. We will not only experience first-hand the incredible benefits of sustainable community development practices, we will also spend time with some of the families that TAWREF support, hearing their individual stories and understanding just how the provision of a new home can make such a transformational difference to their sense of stability and security. Under the mentorship of local builders, we will get a hands-on experience by actively participating in construction activities for Individual homes for vulnerable families & orphans, mixing cement and laying the foundations of a home, and gaining a new outlook on the roles of global citizenship and ethical volunteering.
How I'm raising money
I will be running two half marathons. The first will be the Glentress Trail Half Marathon in November 2026. I will then run the Edinburgh Half Marathon in May 2027 where my goal is to get a Personal Best Time of under 1 hour 32 mins. I will also be doing various other activities throughout the year to raise money. I am looking forward to this challenge!
