Join us for a day walking in the English countryside and raising money for the FUM Jubilee Appeal.

Following the success of last year’s sponsored walks, as a result of which we raised over £6,000, we will again be organising two sponsored walks this summer.

On June 10th a walk on the Devon Cornwall border. A 15mile walk along the Tamar Discovery Trail. This walk will take us from Kit Hill to Calstock on the border between Devon and Cornwall. On Sept 2nd a walk on the South Downs. A 15mile circular walk using South Downs Way footpaths near Eastbourne. Plenty of cafes and pub stops on this route.

Please think about joining us on one of these walks. Those of us who went last year found it not only a very enjoyable day but also an easy way of raising money. If you want to participate but feel you can only commit to a shorter distance, we would still like you to be involved.

To register for a walk or to obtain further details please contact for Tamar Valley: Julie Overnell membership@ fum.org.uk for South Downs: Isabel Heycock [email protected]

John Darnell

It is with regret that I report the passing of John Darnell who was the FUM treasurer when we were founded. He served for many years keeping our finances straight at a time when communication with and transferring money to Tabora was far more complicated than now. Those of you who knew John will remember a good humoured, determined individual who was immensely likeable and committed to doing the best for FUM. He enjoyed a long retirement in Dawlish, but sadly died on August 22, 2016. Tom's London Marathon for FUM Tom Davies has a long connection with FUM, being the grandson of John Gillett, FUM's co-founder in 1964. More recently he visited Urambo (at his own expense) sharing his skills as a professional furniture designer with woodwork students at the FDC. He is running in the 2017 London Marathon in order to raise money for FUM. Please read his message below.

Lifelong Memories and Life Shaping Experiences Recently, Alex Shaw, who was a student at Cranbrook twenty five years ago, wrote to Rod to explain the impact that his trip to Tanzania with Cranbrook School had had on him.
