Intrepid fundraiser Steve Hill from Shaw is gearing up for his latest African adventure.

This coming Saturday Steve will be flying out to Uganda again to get involved in some new community projects in Masaka and to take on the Uganda Marathon - for the seventh time!

Steve told us: "I’ll also be visiting the many projects that Team Hill Charitable Trust are supporting and undertaking some teaching at these schools - which will be very special.

"I have been collecting old running trainers, sports kits, clothing and stationery to take with me for the children and young people at the schools I’ll be visiting - if anyone has any of these items they’d like to donate they’ll be greatly appreciated.

"A huge thankyou, as always, to everyone their continued support."

Humble Steve is first and foremost a teacher, but a teacher with a difference.

He takes on immense challenges each year, raising to date well over £200,000 for good causes as he pushes the boundaries to help inspire others.

Steve is the founder of Team Hill Charitable Trust and is an Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.

He has been awarded an MBE for services to education and charity – along with multiple other awards including a National Teaching Award, Inspirational Teacher of the Year, National Happiest School Person, and Adventurer of the Year, as well as many others.
