Robbie’s poems

The Deeds Tree and other poems. One of Robbie’s goals in lockdown was to write a compendium of poems and his book ‘The Deeds Tree and other poems’ has now gone to print with 50 hardback copies ordered. All donations will go towards planting 25 trees (native to the country) in places which were important to him. We hope that we can arrange this in Sri Lanka, Africa, India and Nepal as well as Wales and various places in England. This will be done a year either side of his 25th birthday in November 2022, and I know he would […]

World Mental Health Day

Today is World Mental Health Day and 2022’s theme is ✨Awareness, Belonging & Connection✨. Awareness highlights the importance of learning the signs of declining mental health within yourself, as well as others, so you know when to take action.

Robbie’s field

As part of our ongoing work in Malawi with the High Five Club & the Brown Munthali Foundation, during May we funded the planting of 20 trees. The school children enjoyed helping out with planting as it’s currently rainy season in Malawi. The area is known as ‘Robbie’s Field’ in his honour. We look forward to continuing our international development charity work in Africa and will keep you posted with all our updates! Your donations make all of our work possible, so as always – thanks a million for your continued support and generosity 💙
