One Idea. Together, We Can Make a Difference

Aim

At 50, I Achieved a 1st Class Degree for "Litter Picking"Research. Now I’m Taking It Further Through an MBA. Your Support Can Make it Happen

From One Idea to a Movement for Change 

At 50, I achieved something I once wondered if I could ever do: a First-Class degree in Business Management.

But my journey didn’t stop there.

As part of my degree, I created the Litter Picking Docking Station, a simple idea with the potential to inspire real community change. The concept is simple: make litter pickers, gloves and bags freely accessible, so anyone can take action and help care for their environment.

Imagine our parks, streets, beaches and public spaces becoming cleaner because the community has the tools and opportunity to make a difference by making litter picking an easy, shared community action.

My Next Step: An MBA

Now I want to take the next step: complete my MBA and use the Litter Picking Docking Station as the foundation of my dissertation.

I want to develop and test how this idea could move beyond an academic project and become a sustainable, real-world community initiative.

Getting here has taken determination, hard work and perseverance. Today, the financial cost of researching and developing the Litter Picking Docking Station for my MBA dissertation, alongside completing my MBA, is the biggest barrier to the next stage of my journey.

That is why I am asking for your support.

Your contribution can help me turn an academic idea into practical environmental action and bring the Litter Picking Docking Station one step closer to becoming a reality.

Whether you can give £5, £10, £20 or more, every contribution brings me one step closer. And if you cannot donate, sharing my campaign could make an enormous difference.

I have already proved that age does not have to be a barrier to education, ambition or starting something new.

Now, I’m asking you to join me in taking the next step.

Your support can help make it happen. 

One Journey. One Vision. One Cleaner Future.
