Report written by Tav (he/him)
Can it really be a year since the Blues and Rock Garden last burst into life? It certainly can. This year Malawi has really suffered with disastrous climate related extreme weather, so charities like Building Malawi and others with local links such as Love, Support, Unite are vital.
Goodgym supported in the bar whilst Emily starred on stage with Band of Fools as well as leading the dancing. Hopefully it will be a super successful fundraiser with not too many hangovers!
We are a small, UK based charity committed to improving opportunities for children in Malawi. Contact Building Malawi here. We build infrastructure such as schools, libraries and sports facilities Malawian organisations run these facilities The schools, libraries and sports facilities fund their own running costs - they don't depend on our support This means that they are long lasting (Falls Secondary is 8 years without a penny from us!) All of the money you donate goes to the cause and into tangible items such as libraries and schools None of the money you donate goes on UK running costs We have nearly no UK running costs and these are funded by our committee (aside from bank charges) What is great about us is that we focus on infrastructure. We build the school and library buildings and hand them over to local groups to run. That way the schools and libraries are not dependant on regular support from us (they fund themselves) and we can show people that donate to us very clearly where your money goes (we can literally point at the building you helped to fund!)
