Charity
Pageant is a small UK based charity, which provides help with education in The Gambia. We have provided furniture and equipment to schools throughout The Gambia, and helped with the construction and renovation of classrooms, school kitchens, staff-rooms and sports facilities. Pageant provides a service whereby members can sponsor individual students to enable them to complete their education. Poor health can adversely affect students' educational attainments, so Pageant works with village communities in the fight against malaria - distributing mosquito nets, and encouraging the cultivation of Artemisia annua, a plant with proven anti-malarial properties. In the wider community Pageant is helping with adult literacy as well as providing micro-loans to enable women to start small businesses.
Please note Virgin Money Giving isn't responsible for the content fundraisers post on their pages, but if you see something you feel is offensive or inappropriate, please let us know and we'll look into it.
Sponsor Sarah Hayes in the Chester Marathon
She did it!
Sarah Hayes ran the 2011 Chester Marathon dressed as a bottle of beer in a time of 4hr 33min 59sec, beating the current Guinness World Record for ‘the fastest marathon dressed as a bottle (female)’, which was previously 4hr 54min 36sec. Congratulations to Sarah on her incredible achievement.
Sarah was sponsored by Cumbrian Legendary Ales and is raising money for Pageant’s work in The Gambia, so your sponsorship will be helping to educate poor Gambian children. Read more about Sarah’s challenge on her webpage.
We will be accepting your donations for some time after the race, so please donate by clicking the 'Donate now' button. Donations will be used specifically for Pageant projects selected by Sarah.
Through Virgin Money Giving, your donation will be quickly processed and passed to Pageant. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on Pageant's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
