My charity blog

Hi – I’m Harry. I work in the charity sector as a project and programme manager. I’m passionate about what I do and the ability of charities to transform the lives of the people they help.

I like the great outdoors, and I’m a keen rambler. I live in London and play cricket. When I get the chance I will follow England as part of the barmy army, although recently my charity work has taken up all my spare time.

I set up this blog to help promote some of the charities that I personally support. I will add to it with the aim of making a directory of charities in the UK.
