How we raised money for The Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund prior to 2024

As a small charity, we are very grateful to anyone who organises a fundraising event. However much is raised is a bonus. Wherever possible, we will acknowledge the donor with a plaque either on a bench, desk, latrine block, water tank, classroom or whole classroom block. Whatever the amount, we will be extremely grateful.

You can walk, run, climb, canoe, swim or cycle. You can organise a small event in aid of Henry’s Fund. He would be so proud of you! Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you require any help.

We have a number of Gold Bond places in The London Marathon each year. If you would like to be considered for a place, contact claire@henryvanstraubenzeemf.org.uk .We also ask that you are prepared to raise a minimum of £2,500 in order to justify your place. We also have places in The Ugandan International Marathon. This is a tough course, but those who have completed the race say that it is a life-changing experience, with the opportunity of a few days travelling in Uganda.

We were only able to continue our work in Uganda with the help of donations.  Please view our Past Events to see some of the activities undertaken.  Thank you to everyone for your support.
