Due to the above, Grassroots Global was
unable to undertake
any international
travel
in relation to our charitable
purposes.
Therefore, focus during the year was
concentrated
on the support we could give
to our overseas partners at home
in the
UK.
As such, Alan Maw undertook
a fundraising
campaign
during
the summer,
by
participating
in 4 x 10kruns in the
Yorkshire area, to raise funds for the

benefit would give regard to public benefit by;
a) Giving Christians
from local churches		 in
our home city Hull, the opportunity
to
participate
in short term mission, so that
they were able to practically
help people
less fortunate
than themselves
in another
country and demonstrate
God's love in a
practical way.
b) Supporting
the overseas partner

so that they receive
resources and support from the UK and a
supply ofpeople to assist with their work
