What does the charity mean to you?
For me it’s helping kids gain the confidence to go and achieve their daily milestones in life.
Favourite moment?
I’ll have to be honest and say I don’t have a favourite moment in particular, every day with this charity is just amazing.
As a collective the work our charity does is at times life changing.
Emma McGinty (Trustee)
What does the charity mean to you?
For me having the opportunity to help children and to make such a big difference to their daily lives is key.
Favourite moment?
Personally I don’t have a favourite moment, for me it’s watching the charity expand. Seeing peoples generosity and wanting to get involved as part of a team is amazing, it’s part of the charities ethos to work as a team.
Jason McKay (Trustee)
What does the charity mean to you?
Some of my background has came from working in schools with disabilities, I like to see kids getting as active as possible.
Favourite moment?
Delivering equipment and seeing the kids reactions when the equipment they’ve ordered is built in front of them, I’ve a strong passion for working with underprivileged kids from deprived areas also.
Philip Peoples (Trustee)
What does the charity mean to you?
For me, the ability to go above and beyond conventional channels, if even in a small way, for families who have found it difficult up to this point in their young lives to achieve a sense of normality provides an overwhelming sense of joy.
Favourite moment?
Greatest moment so far has been seeing so many people come together in teams to complete the “hard as oak” assault course. Such a gruelling task, which no one could train for and yet no one was deterred in finishing the challenge in the name of the charity.
Paul O’Neill (Trustee)
What does the charity mean to you?
For me it's the opportunity to help change the lives of so many young kids and their families by providing equipment that's often too expensive, but would make a life-changing difference.
Favourite moment?
My favourite moment to date would have been watching not only our own community but people from many different communities coming together in November 2020 to partake and support our 50 mile walk - without support and fundraising we would not be able to make a difference, and the support around that event was truly incredible. Very humbling.
Avah McGinty (Founder)
What does the charity mean to you?
I love to know that the charity is helping children that really need it. I feels it’s very important for children to be able to get the chance to do things without a struggle.
Favourite moment?
I don’t have a favourite moment, being a part of LoveHope&Faith every day is just perfect.
