Royal Parks Half Marathon

A big thank-you to Jonathan Gilbert, the SCT’s newest trustee, and the 30 dedicated runners who ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon on the 13th of October. They raised an incredible £17,724. This will go directly towards supporting orphaned and vulnerable students as they pursue their tertiary education. A special mention goes to James St John Davis, who raised a remarkable £4,500!

In memory of author and academic, Laura Fish

Mike Wild is inviting family, friends, colleagues, and readers to pay tribute to his partner, the author and academic Laura Fish. She was in Eswatini at the height of the AIDS epidemic and was deeply moved by her experiences and these inspired her latest novel, Lying Perfectly Still. Described as a ‘powerful and beautiful story told with empathy and respect’, it was due to be published only a fortnight after her death.

His Just Giving fundraiser will support the education and well-being of children in the Kingdom.
