September 1st LONDON TO PARIS CYCLE

Cycling from London to Paris is one of the great cycle experiences in Europe. With long days in the saddle and some strenuous hill-climbs, the sight of the Eiffel Tower, the finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement.

Cecily's Day

Our annual gathering of Cecily's Fund supporters, friends and family - and very informal AGM. Bring your own picnic to enjoy in the beautiful gardens of a home in the Oxfordshire village where Cecily's Fund began.

We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible. It is not a fundraising event but we will update you on the latest news from the work in Zambia that you are helping to support.

Classic Cols of the Tour de France Cycle ride

A five-day, extremely demanding cycle challenge goes through the heart of the French Alps, tackling the toughest mountain climbs made famous by the Tour de France. Spectacular views of mountain peaks, alpine valleys and hanging glaciers make the long twisting climbs worthwhile! Our challenge ends with two of the toughest and most renowned ascents in the region: the demanding Col du Galibier and the steep hair-pin bends of Alpe D’Huez. Contact us for more information
 
October 23rd HILLTRIBE JUNGLE TREK - Vietnam

The landscape of Northern Vietnam is an area of outstanding beauty, cultural interest and high biodiversity. During this trek through the forested hills and paddy-fields you will experience first-hand the everyday life and culture of the minority Thai and Muong people. Sleeping in traditional villages houses each night. Time spent in bustling, colonial Hanoi provides a wonderful contrast to the tranquil remoteness of our trek. Contact us for more information

 

December 12th

Diva Opera - Bizet's Carmen, Theatre du Passage, Neuchatel, Switzerland

Another gem from Diva's wide repertoire will be performed, once again at Neuchatel's Theatre du Passage in December.

Proceeds from all ticket sales will go to Cecily's Fund.

2011 Dates in January, June & Sept - MOUNT KENYA TREK

The summit of Mount Kenya rises to 5199m and dominates the rich green farmland of Kenya’s Central Highland region. Surrounded by dense forest, rich in African flora and fauna, the central volcanic peak can be summated only by skilled technical climbers. The hardy trekker can reach the third highest peak, Point Lenana at 4985m, and it is this challenging route that this trek attempts. The trek takes us across the entire mountain range and its numerous bio-diverse ecosystems. From lush vegetation to barren rock, Mt Kenya has it all and it will, quite simply, take your breath away. Contact us for more information

 
ALL YEAR ROUND
Feed their minds, fund their futures

Education feeds the minds of orphans and vulnerable children, and this in turn helps them put food on the table for their families in the future. So next year our fundraising theme is food and drink.

We anticipate a plethora of cake sales, teddy bears’ picnics, dinner parties and more!

Make Music Give Hope

Make Music Give Hope banner

Following the huge success of our 10,000 mile challenge last year which helped us raise over £40,000 we are now challenging our supporters to beat that record by raising money through music to give hope to the orphans and vulnerable children of Zambia. Concerts, busking, quizzes, karaoke, charity balls, dances, parties, CD sales... the possibilities are endless! Put your money making musical event on You Tube and you could win a prize for the best idea. For more information see our Make Music Give Hope web page. If you'd like any advice or help in organising something like this, contact us at Cecily's Fund.

10,000 Mile Challenge - Run for the Fund

You’ve met our ambitious challenge to celebrate our 10th Anniversary: by walking/running/swimming/climbing/cycling 10,000 miles - the equivalent of the distance from Oxford to Lusaka! But why stop there? We could keep going and cover the 10,000 miles back to Oxford again. For more information about how you can help, and an outline of walks that have been organised so far, please see our 10,000 Mile Challenge page. If it's too cold outside, why not cover a few miles on the treadmill, cycling machine or rowing machine at your gym. Talk to the gym manager about organising a 10,000 mile challenge day and get other gym users involved too. If you'd like any advice or help in organising something like this, contact us at Cecily's Fund.
