Get your red noses on for a star-studded, side-splitting night of fun and fundraising.
The impact of Covid-19 has been devastating for the UK’s most vulnerable communities. Many have found themselves facing real hardship - struggling to feed themselves and their families either because they couldn’t access food, or they couldn’t afford it.
“So many people have lost their jobs this year. We had a family of four come to us who had nothing to eat but a packet of frozen sausages between them – they didn’t have a working lightbulb left in the house”. Emma’s family recently had to leave their home of 19 years, because they couldn’t afford to pay the rent anymore. Abdi, Emma’s Grandfather, found himself splitting what he earned between food for the family and building materials, for their new home he was building by hand. Riziki, Emma’s Grandmother, does what she can by weaving coconut leaves into thatch to sell, but the income is unreliable.
Since Sport Relief in March, a project called AMURT has been helping mums in the area to access vocational skills. Fatuma is due to start a course in January ‘21 when schools reopen in Kenya. She’ll be trained in tailoring, and her dream of making clothes to sell finally feels possible. .
