At 16 years old, James is Through the Roof’s youngest fundraiser using the JustGiving donation site, and has successfully raised nearly £1300 for his trip to Uganda as part of an Integr8 team. The team leaves on 5th August and James’ role will be to talk about his personal experience of disability to inspire a spirit of inclusion within local communities over there.
To raise funds James spoke at all three services at his church to publicise the mission, and his Minister interviewed him at the evening ‘cafe-style service’. The youth group leaders were so inspired they donated £250. James also held a car washing session at church and, simultaneously, there was a tea party where many people consumed cakes baked by ladies from church.
