MY SOCIAL ACTION JOURNEY
”
Social action is a big part of mine and my sister
Sky’s life. From cake sales to raise money and
awareness for leprosy, to a sponsored walk for
cancer awareness, helping at Northern Beat in
the Grand Theatre, and playing my flute at a
concert for a Ugandan charity, I always try to
help others where I can. We both like to support
our family, too. Our mum is currently expecting
her twelfth baby, and our little brother was born
premature, so we do what we can to help, and
help other babies born premature – recently we
donated my brother’s baby clothes to the local
hospital.
I’m also a Volunteer Police Cadet, and recently
helped raise a lot of money for a little boy called
Samuel who has lissencephaly so that he could
get a new wheelchair. For my fundraising I was
awarded the title Cadet of the Year which I’m
really proud of. Soon, I’ll be starting a voluntary
placement at Scaleford retirement home and I’m
really looking forward to it.
