Fundraising Events

Our adrenaline junkie fundraising event for 2011 was a Tandem Skydive which saw twelve Nia supporters jumping over 13,000ft out of a plane to raise money for our beautiful kids food supplies and educational materials...

In total our supporters raised an amazing £4,500 with donation still coming in! To find out more about exactly where your money goes please click here.

A HUGE thank you to our brave Skydivers below for taking on this incredible challenge:

This year's tournament was yet another fantastic event with 20 teams going head to head on Sunday 26th June at the Hive Football Centre. It felt like the hottest day of the year with the sun blazing and many of us getting sun burnt! Although the heat was intense, our teams didn't let this effect their performance and fought until the end. Tottenham legend Peter Shreeves and Mill-wall Winger Terry McQuade were our top refs on the day and gave the players a few tips on how to improve their game.

We raised an amazing £2,239 which will help us to take on our second school to feed and educate a further 100 children by the end of this year.

The Harrow Times newspaper released two articles about the event. Please click here and here to view them.

Thank you to all the players, volunteers and supporters who took part.

A HUGE thank you to the following companies for their generous donations towards this event:

A bunch of ‘adrenaline junkie’ Nia supporters climbed Africa’s tallest mountain on Saturday 9th October to raise much needed funds for the children’s food supplies.

Mount Kilimanjaro facts:
- It is situated inside the Kilimanjaro National Park in Tanzania
- Consists of three volcanic cones; Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira
- It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free standing mountain in the world
- It is 19,340 feet high
- You go through 5 different climatic zones to reach the summit
- The summit is called Uhuru Peak which in English means 'Freedom'.
- On Uhuru Peak there is a wooden box containing a book in which almost every individual to reach the summit has recorded their impressions of the world from the highest point on the African continent.

Thank you to all the generous donors for sponsoring our climbers and a HUGE thank you to our five brave climbers:
