Tell us a bit about yourself
I am currently studying a Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Marketing and working to grow my business, Yoga by Anisha. I am passionate about mental health awareness, with lived experience of anxiety and depression, and I specialise in teaching Yoga Therapy for Anxiety. I aim to share the teachings of yoga to help others and bring greater peace to all 🙂
Why did you fundraise for Cowrie?
I decided to fundraise for Cowrie as I’m very supportive of your mission to provide disadvantaged black students an opportunity to access education and knowledge – I was also the Events Lead and a Committee Member of the Racial Equity Network during my time at Wellcome Trust.
How did you fundraise?
I worked with the Volunteering Manager, Fon Browndy, during my time at Wellcome Trust to organise a yoga class for my fellow employees. Attendees were encouraged to donate to a JustGiving page – the turnout was excellent and we raised a great sum of money!
I am surprised at the incredibly positive response I received – I had a lot of support and lovely feedback from everyone and it was so easy to fundraise! I definitely encourage anyone out there considering fundraising to just go for it!
