Sport Relief

As one of the UK鈥檚 biggest fundraising events, brings the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. The money raised by the public is spent by Comic Relief to help transform the lives of some of the poorest and most disadvantaged people both at home in the UK and across the world.

Monique
When Monique was thrown out of home at 15 her mental health deteriorated to the point where she was admitted to hospital following an overdose.听 After treatment Monique began conquering her depression and she moved to a young person鈥檚 homeless hostel run by Centrepoint, supported by money raised through Sport Relief.
Now a world champion power lifter Monique said: 鈥淐entrepoint are great, without them I don鈥檛 know where I would be and I have a lot of respect. They didn鈥檛 just put a roof over my head, they helped me with everything.鈥

Erika

Erika (49) runs the Ismooth Caf茅, a caf茅 which uses cash raised by Sport Relief to give training opportunities to people with disabilities.
She says, "It's about breaking down barriers in the community. The qualifications which our youngsters get are tailored to individual needs to make their learning enjoyable and to give them more freedom.鈥

Racheal

Racheal (38) and her son Syrus, 10, are healthy and happy thanks to the lifesaving HIV treatment and counselling they have received from the Kadama Widows Association, a project in Eastern Uganda that uses money raised by Sport Relief to provide a range of vital services to families affected by HIV.

Racheal says, "Before Kadama Widows Association I didn鈥檛 have anything.听听 I have learnt how to look after our livestock and have trained as a hairdresser so now I have my own business. Thanks to them, I am able to support my family."
