My story

Ian is locum minister at Greenbank Church, Edinburgh and will celebrate his 70th birthday in 2026. He and Jennifer took part in the Etape Caledonia last year, cycling 50 miles in aid of Christian Aid. This year’s challenge is a completely new adventure!

Ian said, "Cycling up the hill to Greenbank has been good training. We hope we can  enjoy it and succeed and with your help we might raise some funds for Christian Aid. We will certainly appreciate any financial support you can offer this excellent charity."

How your money helps

You can support families facing the daily stress of food insecurity in Nairobi.

In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, parents like Fridah wake up knowing they must earn money – otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. But with tools, seeds and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, families can grow nutritious vegetables in small city spaces and grow hope for the future.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • provide seeds and tools so people can grow food in small spaces.
  • fund training so people can plan ahead and protect their livelihoods.
  • support community-led projects that strengthen food security and incomes.
