Short Summary

On March 1st 2015, Charlie Warner and Geordie Palmer have decided to take a break from their 4th year degrees/soup making and run the Bath Half Marathon for a wonderful cause- The Lalela Project. 

The Lalela Project is very close to Charlie who, whilst growing up spending lots of time with family in Cape Town, has been fortunate enough to work for this fantastic charity which provides educational arts to at-risk youth in order to spark creative thinking and awaken entrepreneurial spirit.

Please feel free to learn more about The Lalela Project here: http://www.lalelaproject.org


What We Need & What You Get

Whatever you kind people are willing to give help us get over the finish line!

In doing so, you will be helping thousands of young people to become inspired by the powerful universal language of Art.

100% of the funds raised will be going to the Lalela Project.


The Impact

Lalela Project provides art-risk youth with innovative arts education to spark creative thinking and awaken the entrepreneurial spirit! Lalela believes in the power of arts education to empower students to map and manifest a better future for themselves and their communities.

At-risk students highly engaged in arts education are 2x more likely than their peers to graduate college, 3x more likely to win an award for school attendance or be elected to class office and 5x less likely to drop out of school.

In the communities where Lalela works, these benefits of arts education are making a difference for kids who were unable to imagine a better future. In South Africa and the South Bronx, gang violence, gender discrimination and sexual violence are daily obstacles to reaching their full potential - or even reaching their school grounds. In Northern Uganda, Lalela works with former child soldiers and orphans from the conflict to develop the creativity and independence that the decades long conflict dangerously damaged. Art allows these students a space where they are safe and encouraged to see beyond their present circumstances. Art provides a venue for expression where there are no right or wrong answers and students can develop the courage of their convictions. Lalela students are the star pupils in their classrooms and excited to go to school - they will be the entrepreneurs and change makers in their communities. It's all a part of the Art of Change.
