Niamh, who starts her GCSEs this September, is currently fundraising for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a month-long expedition to Kenya in July 2026 with charity Camps International.
The trip will involve environmental work, community support projects, and will culminate in a five-day trek to the summit of Mount Kenya. What an adventure!
Jessica and Niamh have previously raised funds for a village charity in Uganda, but this time Niamh is determined to offer hands-on support and experience the impact of her efforts first-hand.
Niamh’s football skills may even be tested by the local teams — a fun way to connect with the community and keep her skills sharp while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
She’s already made a strong start to her fundraising: hosting a Paint & Prosecco evening(see the giraffe above!), making and selling her own earrings, washing cars, and running an information night on women’s health and nutrition. With more events planned — including a chocolate tombola at her football club — she’s determined to reach her goal.
Niamh needs to raise £5,500 for the trip. Last year’s top fundraiser brought in over £10,000,and in true competitive spirit (just like her mum!), she’s aiming to beat it. Every penny goes directly to Camps International to support their incredible work.

This is truly a life-changing trip — and Niamh can’t wait for it to begin!
