We are delighted that the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy is supporting us and organising an Ambulance Drive around the UK. Yes that does mean driving around the UK - which is not a small task. It will cover over 1000 miles. The route will include Scotland, Wales and England (North, South, East and West), starting and finishing in Portsmouth. The drive will take place between 11-25 June 2010. It will visit various Helen O'Grady Drama Academy branches and lots of money will be raised through its academies with their students and associates.

They are also looking for more corporate sponsors to join them. Sponsors are needed to cover the cost of petrol and food. Sponsors could get promotion on national or local radio and press and goodwill from supporting such a great charity drive!

Ambulance Drive Route and Updates

Village Africa would love as many individuals and groups as possible to be involved and there are loads of ways you can help raise this money;
you can do it by carrying out specific fundraising activities in your town, school, university or business
you can print off and distribute the ambulance drive flyer to local shops, companies and clubs asking for a donation of £25 or more (see downloads page) - these donors will be issued a certificate and mentioned on our website if they wish
you can collect sponsorship for the ambulance drive per 100 miles (max
1000 miles) - sponsorship form available from info@villageafrica.org.uk or
simply donate at http://www.mycharitypage.com/VillageAfricaAmbulanceAppeal/
Fundraising events could even take an African theme;
carry a bucket of water on your head for a certain time (dare you?)
dress up African for the day
paint your face as an African animal
hold a world cup in Africa football tournament
give up something for Africa day (that chocolate bar!)
Send us your photos.

We hope that you are able to help!
