A word from the Vine Trust...
Connie is fundraising in aid of Vine Trust.
Vine Trust is an international development charity which connects volunteers from around the world with sustainable and effective projects which support some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Working closely with in-country partners, Vine Trust seeks to empower local people to achieve their full potential, through the provision of primary healthcare, secure accommodation, and social care and support.
To date, Vine Trust has provided over 2.5 million healthcare consultations on the Peruvian Amazon and Lake Victoria, Tanzania. Our partners and volunteers have also completed almost 150 family homes in Moshi, Tanzania, as well as the first homes at Kazunzu "Village of Hope" on the shore of Lake Victoria, providing security, shelter and a brighter future for vulnerable children and families.
Donations made through this page will contribute towards the work of Vine Trust, including the upkeep and development of the charity’s international programmes.
Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Fundraising Activity
August 9th 2025 marks 5 years since we lost Dad, Dougie Dale, to cancer. Dad was a strong supporter of the Vine Trust, and was part of the crew which transported both the Amazon Hope to Peru and the Jubilee Hope to Tanzania. The Vine Trust is a charity which gives so much back to the communities which need it most, and is something that dad always endeavoured to support in any way he could.
How I'm raising money
On the 5th of October 2025, I will be running the Chester Marathon, and raising money for the Vine Trust in memory of Dad.
