Frequently Asked Questions

  • My fundraising is intended to support projects in Zambia and will NEVER be used to fund my travel or any trip related expenses.

    Donations will be used for practical community support and projects identified through local partners and community organisations. Previous fundraising has supported initiatives such as mobility equipment, improvements to housing and other direct assistance for people facing hardship.

    The goal is to ensure that donations create a lasting benefit for the people and communities they are intended to help.The exact use of funds depends on local needs, but examples include:

    • Mobility aids and accessibility equipment.

    • Improvements to homes and community buildings.

    • Educational materials and support for young people.

    • Health and wellbeing initiatives.

    • Community-led projects identified by local partners.

    I will share updates on the projects supported wherever possible, so donors can see the difference their contributions have helped to make.

  • I will be volunteering in Livingstone, Zambia, supporting community health and education projects through African Impact. Projects vary according to local needs but can include health promotion, educational support, community outreach and other initiatives designed to strengthen local communities.

  • The name reflects two things: twenty years of living with HIV, and the belief that even difficult experiences can be transformed into something positive.

    Positive Impact 20 is about gratitude, resilience, volunteering and creating something worthwhile from a milestone I once never expected to reach.

  • Absolutely. Sharing the project, following the journey, talking openly about HIV, encouraging volunteering, and helping spread the message are all valuable ways to support Positive Impact 20.

  • Ten years ago I volunteered on HIV education and community projects in South Africa. The experience had a profound impact on me and shaped how I think about service, gratitude and community.

    As I approach twenty years of living with HIV, returning to volunteer felt like the most meaningful way to mark the milestone.

  • I'll be sharing updates before, during and after the trip through this website and social media. I'll be documenting the experience, reflecting on what I learn, and highlighting the incredible work being done by local communities, volunteers and project staff.
