On 12 December 2019, the Sheffield & District Law Society held a Christmas quiz at a local Sheffield bar to raise money for Project Sulangan. The evening was sold out and attended by several law firms and companies in and around the Sheffield area.

Unfortunately due to insufficient numbers this year, we have made the decision to postpone our annual Christmas Charity Ball on Saturday 21st December 2019. For the good of the charity and charity funds we felt that this was the best decision to make. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and anyone who has purchased tickets has already been informed and will receive a full refund. The Ball has been rescheduled to Saturday 5th December 2020 and we hope to see you all there.

We will still be holding a Christmas Charity raffle to raise some funds for Project Sulangan and if you would like to enter you can click here.

On Sunday 4 November 2018 we we were stood at the foot of the Verrazano Bridge on Staten Island in New York and we were about to run the race of our lives. A few days prior, we packed up and flew out to New York to take part in the New York Marathon 2018, the biggest and one of the most iconic races in the world! With the sun beating down, but with a cold chill in the air it was a glorious day and we were able to cross the finish line in Central Park, New York City, completing our two marathon challenge. It was a day we will never forget and we are grateful to all those who sponsored us for our challenge. The total amount raised will be released soon and more pictures will be available shortly.

On Sunday 14th October 2018, as the rain came down we ran 26.2 miles in York, England to raise money for Project Sulangan. Whilst the rain did not stop, it did not dampen our spirits and we were able to finish the marathon in one piece. Our next marathon will be in New York City where we will cross the finish line to complete our two marathon challenge of 2018. To donate to our cause please visit our fundraising website here.

This year we will be taking part in the Yorkshire Marathon on 14th October 2018 as well as the the New York Marathon on 4th November 2018. In a challenge we call Old York to New York, all funds raised will be split equally between St Luke’s Hospice in Sheffield, UK and Project Sulangan. To sponsor us click here. #oldyork2newyork

Today we found out that we have a place in the London Marathon 2017! This is such great news and we can’t wait to take Project Sulangan to London!

Today was the Yorkshire Half Marathon, a total of 13.1 miles around the city of Sheffield. Sponsored by PlusNet, the half marathon was a tough course with about six miles of the course up hill. But with the weather on our side and the beautiful people of Sheffield cheering us on it was a great day to be raising money for Project Sulangan! Our next stop will be Edinburgh Marathon on the 29 May 2016! To view our previous events click here.

We set out to help rebuild a community after the most devastating natural disaster hit the Philippines. We brought emergency aid to the people of Sulangan, built a boat, donated clothing and food and rebuilt a school. Now that most of the village of Sulangan is rebuilt we still want to continue to help make a difference.

Project Sulangan believes that Education is Power in Poverty. After much discussion, we have decided that as a charity, going forward we will focus on providing and improving education for children in the Philippines. This means that Project Sulangan will reach out to the unreachable villages in the Philippines and help to make a difference by rebuilding and building schools, donating educational supplies and funding education.

Today, a project that we have put our heart and soul into has finally been finished! We cannot explain how much work has gone into this project from so many different people. To view our whole journey and the finished Kindergarten classroom, click here.

Today we head back to Sulangan in the Philippines to finish rebuilding the Kindergarten Classroom! To follow our journey you can keep up to date with us on our social media sites listed below.

At the end of 2014 we set ourselves a challenge… That challenge was to run the Sheffield Half Marathon on the 12th April 2015 and then one week later to run the Manchester Marathon on the 19th April 2015. We would combine these 2 events to raise money for not only Project Sulangan, but for Macmillan Cancer support. Macmillan are a charity which supports those families whose loved ones are battling cancer and it is a charity that is very close to our heart and the heart of a very dear friend who lost her mum to cancer.

We completed our challenge on the 19th April 2015, when we crossed the finish line at Old Trafford in Manchester.

The support and sponsorship from everyone was truly the encouragement we needed. Together you helped us raise a total of £442.50 and we are incredibly grateful.

Sheffield Half Marathon 2015 got underway on the 12th April! This was Project Sulangan’s second visit to this half marathon and the day couldn’t have gone any better! The streets were lined with people and the support was second to none.

Thank you Sheffield!
