A huge thank you and shout out to @the_urban_syndicate who raised nearly £1,600 for R World. They raffled a pair of these limited edition, exclusive LORENZ.OG sneakers. Each ticket costed £10 and were bought from the Urban Syndicate Website. The competition lasted a month and a winner was randomly selected on their instagram page. 💙#urbansyndicate #rworld https://linktr.ee/Theurbansyndicate?fbclid=IwAR2IEUHtWIErEsGPTVCSLi_v2IuEq-D4PpxLJtSQx-U5tq7KJP9auz6IftI
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 […]
Thanks to everyone’s generous donations, R World’s #curTACHEchallenge has raised an incredible £825 to support mental health services. 💪🏻🕺🏻 Massive thanks to all the lads who volunteered to get involved! November is mens health awareness month. Globally, on average, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day. It’s vitally important that we create a safe environment for everyone to feel able to openly talk about their mental health without any stigma involved. This is why R World funds first aid for mental health instructor training within schools and universities. With your help, our foundation is helping to break […]
We would like to say a massive thank you to the Simon Langton School for Boys for donating the money they raised in their bake sale to R World in honour of Robbie who was a previous student at the school💙
In 2019, Robbie achieved a first class honours degree in human geography from the University of Nottingham and his dissertation Urban Immersion in Edinburgh and Copenhagen: Re-imagining the Tourist’s ‘Sense of Place‘ was also awarded a distinction. To commemorate Robbie’s contribution to geography at the University of Nottingham, in 2020 the Robbie Curtis memorial prize for the best dissertation in human geography was created. This year we have our first prize recipient Jane Astbury who is a very worthy winner having been awarded a mark of 87% for her dissertation. Here is a message from Jane : My name is […]
In partnership with the High Five Club Robbie’s ambition was to start his career in Africa having just been awarded a scholarship to study a prestigious Master’s degree at Sussex University in ‘Development, Policy and Environment’. His interest in environmental matters was evident from an early age and there is no doubt that he would have thrown himself into the course in typical Robbie fashion in the same enthusiastic way he tackled everything. Sadly this wasn’t to be, but R World has taken over the reins to continue his wish to make a difference in African communities which will […]
Another amazing fundraiser! Jessie Burn and her mum completed the dark peaks trail run last week – 12k in the heat – and raised a brilliant £300 for R World taking our total to nearly £22,500!
