Latest Update

Here is a year update on the fund raising.
I have completed 4800 k to date, less than I wanted but I am still keeping going until Christmas, so I can reach my target.

Thank You Hunts Cross Primary School
Penny Flag Challenge
The school held a Penny Flag Challenge
where they had the Ukranian flag in school and pupils, parents and staff all brought in coins to cover the flag to raise money for the people of Ukraine affected by war. They had a fantastic response and raised £550, which was passed to the Ripple Effect, who used this donation for the transport costs to send out much needed clothing and toiletries to the Ukranian refugees.
Thank you so much for your kind generosity.
Latest from Joanne
£750 raised
6 months since I started to raise money for The Ripple Effect there is another crisis. Ukraine need our support so I have made the decision to close this page to transfer funds to the charity sooner. There is already great need for aid for people arriving in the country and without your donations this would not be possible. Aid donations are greatly received. If anyone can donate anything else to this page it would help so much! 1272km completed and a long way to go so I will continue to post updates through The Ripple Effect website. Thank you

Fund Raising event by Joanne
Walking/Running distance from Kabul to Liverpool
Joanne Vallance Davies is raising money for the Ripple effect to help support refugees by walking/running the distance from Kabul to Liverpool (5,868 k = 3,646 miles).
In addition to this she is also shaving her head to symbolise freedom, something which the women of Kabul no longer have. She is donating her hair to The Little Princess Trust as not to waste it.
Joanne is a mum of 4 from Liverpool she is currently on maternity leave, so a full time mum at the moment. When in work she is a Residential Childcare officer for Knowsley Council.
Help to raise money by logging onto her page on the just giving web site and leave a donation.

Fund Raising Event Overton Saturday 14th August 2021
Great night had by all raising funds
Thanks to everyone who supported our fund raising event last night. A great night featuring the band "Last Bus", the great organist Peter Jetson and not to be forgotten, Debrina Tierney with her line dancing friends.
Everyone who attended contributed to it being the success it was.
It was brilliant to see so many people enjoying themselves and raising funds for such a good cause.
Thanks also to The Ship Hotel for providing the bar. Everything was excellent.
