A word from the Vine Trust...
Chelsea is fundraising in aid of their Vine Trust Medical Expedition to the Peruvian Amazon. Amazon Hope Medical Expeditions are an opportunity for volunteers to make a real and lasting difference to communities living on the Peruvian Amazon. Working in partnership with our in-country clinical teams, volunteers provide primary healthcare services to remote and isolated riverine communities, aboard our fully-equipped medical vessels, Amazon Hope 2 and Forth Hope. Vine Trust Medical Expeditions provide free, life-changing clinical testing, treatment and education to communities who would otherwise have little or no access to basic healthcare.
Donations made through this page will contribute towards the cost of Chelsea's expedition, including international flights, accommodation, food, in-country transport, and a donation towards the medical programme. Any additional funds raised will go towards the maintenance and development of the Amazon Hope Medical Programme.
Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Fundraising Activity
Hello everyone. I have been a registered nurse for 2 years working in North Queensland, Australia. One of my many passions is providing healthcare to people in need, and hope that one day everyone will have access to sustainable healthcare. Caring for those in need is the leading reason i picked this profession, and now I am planning on taking my skills to the amazon rainforest as part of a team of medical professionals and students with The Vine Trust. During the expedition we will be working closely with The Vine Trusts in country team to provide free health and dental care to rural and remote communities in Peru, that would otherwise have zero access to quality healthcare. Here is a link to the programme if you are wanting to read more about the charity and the exceptional work, they carry out in remote parts of the Amazon https://www.vinetrust.org/assets/docs/uploads/AH_info_pack_2025.pdf. On completion of my expedition to Peru, I will return to my home country with a greater understanding of providing healthcare to remote communities, something I am passionate about pursing throughout my career as a registered nurse. Furthermore, my understanding and knowledge of unique communities and my time spent among them will provide me with a greater cultural awareness and understanding of the difficulties many people face in accessing healthcare. Thank you very much for reading my fundraising page and following my journey to the Amazon.
