Fundraising for VSO ICS - volunteering in Nepal this Christmas!


Recommended Posts

Hello,


I'm Lizia and I've finished studying at Alleyn's. This Christmas, I will be working in Nepal for three months with the community in Lalitpur to increase livelihoods. I am volunteering with VSO ICS, but before I can go, I need to reach my fundraising target of ?800 which goes towards the training and sending of future volunteers to other countries in need.


VSO (Voluntary Services Overseas) is a charity with the goal of fighting poverty on a global scale. They have partnered with ICS (a program backed by the government) to enable people between the ages of 18 - 25 to go on a volunteer placement in countries around the world.


My personal fundraising movement is called 'C for Charity' (C standing for Crochet) and I have successfully set up a station in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre. I am looking for spaces outside local businesses/markets to set up a weekly crochet station where people can join in, learn to crochet or leave with a hand-made goodie. I will also be accepting donations.


I have created a JustGiving donation page and a Facebook page so you can check in on my progress and will provide links to these pages as well as to VSO ICS. Please get in contact if you have somewhere for me to set up a stall! If you don't, please support my endeavour to fight poverty and make a difference.


Thank you!

    • Hello.  A parcel for someone at 64B Blenheim Grove has been dumped at my address.  If anyone from 64B is in this forum, please get in touch!
    • CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too 
    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
