SARAH GREENALL YOGA FOR CHARITY
*** £8926 raised in total so far ***
Giving back through yoga - what a wonderful way to show gratitude for all that we have!
Each term I hold a charity yoga week where I donate all my class proceeds, together with extra donations, to charity - alternating mainly between The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and Action Breaks Silence. I have also given to a local life-saving defibrillator fund.
THE ROYAL MARSDEN CANCER CHARITY
Thank you lovely people!! My March 2021 fundraising week raised a HUGE £890 for The Royal Marsden, taking the rolling total for this wonderful charity to £4489. I am so thrilled - THANK YOU!!
The Royal Marsden Hospital is very close to my heart as it is where my dear Dad passed away and it was his passing, together with my own cancer diagnosis, that led me to re-evaluate my life and train to become a Yoga Teacher.
The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity is a world-leading cancer centre which pioneers new treatments that save lives. They use their research every day to provide the very best in diagnosis, treatment and care for their patients and they care for 50,000 patients each year. Visit their website to find out how money raised is spent www.royalmarsden.org.

ACTION BREAKS SILENCE
Autumn Term 2020 saw me raising money once again for the amazing charity Action Breaks Silence. I am absolutely delighted to say that we raised a fantastic £660 which together with previous amounts totals £3823 raised for this fantastic charity.
The charity has been established to create a safer world - where women and girls can live their lives free from fear of sexual or gender-based violence. It aims to do this through educational and self defence workshops. To date, over 65,000 women, girls and boys in the UK, India, South Africa and the Caribbean have been trained free of charge.

Just £12.50 will provide a place for a boy or a girl at an Empathy or Empowerment workshop.

The charity runs two workshops: Empowerment through Self Defence and Active Bystander programme for women and girls, teaching them practical personal safety skills and The Hero Empathy and Active Bystander programme - interactive workshops for 10 to 13 year old boys specifically designed to encourage them to play a part in ending violence against women, with the purpose of preventing the development of abusive or violent behaviour in the future. They work in both primary and senior schools and have recently set up an initiative of establishing a base of Youth Ambassadors in schools. They also work at training trainers to be able to roll out the programme to a wider audience.
This is a UK registered charity, locally run and started by Debi Steven, whose karate club my daughter trained with for many years. For more information please visit www.actionbreakssilence.org
In India, surveys have shown that 848 women or girls are either harassed, raped or killed every single day. It seems hard to believe that this is going on in the same country that gave us yoga which is such a peace-loving and compassionate way of life. Let's use yoga to help make a difference.
You can donate here at www.justgiving.com/yogaforaction. Just £12.50 will train one person.

HAMPTON HILL DEFIBRILLATORS
|
In July 2019 I happened to be aware of a local fundraising effort to raise money for the installation of life-saving defibrillators in the Hampton Hill area. I decided, therefore, to break away from my usual two charities and chose this as my fundraising cause. I am delighted to say that my Charity Week, Summer term 2019, raised a fantastic £614 for this very worthy cause. A huge thank you to everyone who came to class and donated.
