St. Mary’s in South Africa: A visit with purpose
Following eighteen months of preparation, planning and fundraising, fifteen students from St. Mary’s embarked on a mission to deliver a ‘Leadership Through Sport’ programme’ to students at Mnyakanya High School situated in the remote, rural Nkandla area of South Africa.
This year’s visit was led by Charlotte Wood with support from Catherine Chattoe and Patrick Rogozinski. The team were also joined by Matt and Chloe Crooks,trustees of the Jordan Sinnott Foundation.
The student team comprised of JP Carroll, Jack Booth, Harry Nuttall, Tom Brooks, Chris Jose, Aaron Smith, Ava Shepherd, Leona Vaduthala, Niamh Casey, Isabel Barnes, Zara Helliwell, Evie Harris, Ria Clarke, Gina Bene-Hamill and Erin Healy.
The visit started in rural Nkandla where St. Mary’s students led and organised the Bambisanani Schools’ Athletic competition with for local primary schools. Impressive times and distances stunned the student leaders especially given that many participants were barefooted and running on difficult terrain.
Following four intense days of athletics coaching and leadership training, 40 Mnyakanya High School students were fully equipped and confident enough to organise and host a spectacular Sports and Reading Festival for 60 children from Ntolwane Primary School. Both Festivals were a tremendous success and enjoyed by all. Additionally, as part of the visit, the St. Mary’s students delivered lessons in a wide range of curriculum areas. Enthusiastic staff and students from Mnyakanya High School experienced high quality lessons in geography, maths, biology, and PE.
At a special presentation ceremony and partnership celebration, Mnyakanya students received their much-deserved Leadership awards and students from Mnyakanya and Ntolwane Primary school were presented with a series of annual Bambisanani awards from the John Paul II Foundation for Sport as well as very special awards in memory of Lawrie McCauley, Sbonelo Magwaza and Heather Read.
In collaboration with Newcastle College, St. Mary’s visited Thembimfundo Special School for children with various disabilities and challenges. The team ran a Sports Day for the children, which included dancing, high jump, boccia, javelin and parachute games. It was moving, rewarding and insightful to see how well the children did, and to see how happy they were participating in the activities. The UK team hosted a celebration ceremony where they were delighted to present, awards in memory of former St. Mary’s teacher Matt Harvey. The awards celebrated students who had demonstrated excellence, determination and leadership in sport.
The final part of the visit saw the St. Mary’s students volunteering at uMlalazi Day Centre and Crèche, a centre for orphans and vulnerable children run by the Zulufadder Children’s Trust. This was a magical time for St. Mary’s students where they loved promoting literacy bringing stories to life with the use of props and toys. The students also acted out We’re Going on a Bear Hunt read by Catherine Chattoe and had a teddy bears’ picnic. The St. Mary’s students also helped plant some vegetables for the Centre providing them with lettuce, onions, beetroot and Maize along with seeds kindly donated by members of the St. Mary’s community.
Upon returning from the visit Gina Bene-Hamill said, “I was told it would be amazing, but it was better than that, each day I was more amazed and grateful for being there. It was the best experience I have ever had.”
Niamh Casey said, “Bambisanani was a truly eye opening experience that has provided me with so many unforgettable life lessons.”
Jack Booth said, “A completely life changing experience, full of opportunity and adventure that opened my mind on so many levels and something I will never forget.”
Miss Wood in the final blog of the visit said, “All 15 of you have been a pleasure to work with over the last 10 days. Having taught and still teaching a handful of you it’s been great to see your journey develop as inspirational, caring young adults. I hope you all learn from this experience and build on skills that you have gained. I hope you learn from your experiences, cherish friendships made, but most of all follow your dreams and believe that the impossible is possible with true grit and determination.”
A visit of great impact for all: Newcastle College volunteers in South Africa
Students and staff from Newcastle College have recently returned from their third annual visit to South Africa as part of the Bambisanani Partnership. The team of 15 members, comprising three staff, Alex Watson, Brogan O’Connor and Paul Whitfield and 12 students, Candice Clark, Ellie Enright, Emily Drummond, Izzy Taylor-Aitken, Joe Tully, Kate Stephenson, Maria Graham, Oli Moore, Olivia Meldrum, Ruby Harkins, Sahib Basra and Taylor Maynard embarked on a 26-hour journey to Eshowe, South Africa. Over the course of three weeks, they volunteered in rural KwaZulu-Natal, using the power of sport to positively impact both their own lives and those of the children in the local schools and orphanages.
The team worked at Matholamnyama Secondary School, Ngqamzana Primary School, Thembinfundu Special School and Doremi Day Centre for orphans and vulnerable children, all located in KwaZulu-Natal. Engaging with children aged 1-18, they hosted sport coaching sessions, leadership activities, reading sessions and sports festivals. All sessions were attended by a total of 894 South African young children and they fostered skills in leadership, communication, team building, and confidence.
Olivia Meldrum, a Level 3 Sport Coaching and Development student, reflected, “You think you are going there to teach – but in the end it’s the people, the place, and the moments that teach you the most. We came to coach – and left with full hearts and unforgettable memories.”
Emily Drummond, a Level 4 Airport and Aviation student, added, “This visit for me has been so life changing and humbling, seeing how people truly live in rural areas has been very eye opening, I have enjoyed every moment and have made friends and memories I will never forget.”
The team began their stay with two days at Doremi Day Care Centre, where they were greeted with wonderful beaming smiles, loud singing and energetic dancing to What A Wonderful Day and Mango Tree. Once the dancing had finished the students spent time reading with the students, through books fundraised and collected by nine-year-old Althea Dickinson from York, playing sports such as netball and football and getting to know the young children through games and conversations. When the time came to leave after the second day, it was the first of many emotional goodbyes and experiences for the team. A better and more impactful introduction to South Africa would not be possible.
Over the weekend, the team participated in a 5k Colour Run at Gratton School in Eshowe and visited Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve to see wildlife in its natural habitat and learn about animal conservation.
During the second week, the group returned to Ngqamzana Primary School, a year after their previous visit. They spent a day with each grade (3-7) and were treated to an impressive and emotional ceremony on Friday. The entire school performed traditional dances and songs, and Newcastle College student Oli Moore and staff member Brogan O’Connor gave moving speeches on behalf of the group.
Oli Moore, a Level 3 Sport and Exercise Student proudly said “From everyone at Newcastle College, a massive thank-you to every single one of you for taking part in all of our coaching sessions that we have delivered for you. Every single one of those smiles and laughs that you have shown us throughout every single day that we have been here will stay in our hearts forever. It has been a really amazing moment for each and every single one of us to see each and every one of you every day smiling and laughing so thank-you very much, we really appreciate you.”
Paul Whitfield, Sport Lecturer at Newcastle College added: “The Ngqamzana Primary School surprised me with the emotion that I felt helping the NCG students coach the Primary children. It was a very successful week with all the children having a great time and the coaches really enjoying it whilst putting on fun engaging sports sessions. It was great watching them improve as coaches and all make friendships that will last a lifetime. The closing ceremony was so special, it was clear to see the positive effect that the Bambisanani Partnership has on this school as their songs and dances were amazing, it was clear they had a put a lot of effort into them.”
Miss Ntanzi, the project co-ordinator from Ngqamzana summed up her thoughts on the partnership and its impact saying “From 2023 to date we are very delighted about the Newcastle College visit. Our learners are exposed in inter-cultural activities; we learn a lot of skills and our learners are exposed in different games that help them to be fit and healthy. It helps learners to listen, communicate and respond positively to any situation they are faced with. It helps them to be disciplined and tolerant to one another. Our learners are enjoying interacting with the UK students in a relaxed, friendly and supportive environment. As an under resourced school, we are very happy with this partnership which helps our learners gain confidence and love to come to school. Since the start of this initiative the school enrolment has improved and absenteeism has dropped.”
On the Saturday, the team joined forces with the group from St. Mary's School, Menston, at Thembimfundo Special School. The day started with a morning wake up shake up with some dances to to "Cha Cha Slide," "Chu Chu Wa," and “Superman”. The UK students then facilitated an adapted Sports Festival involving 10 activities, including javelin throw, parachute games, and boccia. The event was a tremendous success with considerable learning for all involved. During the course of the year, the Bambisanani Partnership has worked closely with Thembinfundo to bring clean water to the school for drinking and sanitation.
The final week was spent at Matholamnyama Secondary School before returning to Durban to start our long journey back to the UK. On Monday morning, the Newcastle team met 30 young learners who they would be working with throughout the week and got to work teaching them leadership skills through coaching sessions and workshops. The young people from both countries worked closely together, hand in hand, until Wednesday morning, when the South African young learners took centre stage and delivered a very successful Sports Festival to 60 learners from their local primary school. It was a proud and emotional day for all involved.
Mr. Ngeleka, principal at Matholamnyama Secondary School stated “Our learners have gained a lot from your students and we pray and hope for this partnership to continue for a number of years”.
The journey back to our accommodation in Eshowe that Wednesday Afternoon was one filled with a sense of pride and fulfilment. The team exchanged stories, photos and videos whilst also listening to music and singing along. The smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes clearly showing the sense of accomplishment they felt and the memories they had made. That evening the team were hosted an award ceremony, presenting each student with their own award based on their visit.
Brogan O’Connor, Enrichment and Development Manager at Newcastle College and Bambisanani Trustee, summarised the visit: “You have good weeks at work and then there is this. The work of both Newcastle College and The Bambisanani Partnership continues to amaze me as it continually raises the bar and goes from strength to strength. The achievements made by UK and South African learners over the past 18 days are nothing short of remarkable and would not be possible without the continued hard work and dedication of so many people. The memories made, skills and qualities improved and friendships formed will stay with our students and staff forever, it has been truly life changing for all involved, I return to Newcastle with 12 students with an increased global understanding, cultural awareness and a student experience unlike any other. The impact on all involved, from both countries, is truly amazing.”

University of Leeds Team Recognised with Award for Global Impact
Bambisanani Partnership collaborators at the University of Leeds have recently been recognised with a special award for ‘Global Impact’ for their Gryphons Abroad project.
The annual Partnership Awards at the university acknowledge staff, groups and programmes which contribute to making sure students have outstanding, positive and impactful experiences during their time at Leeds. The award for global impact celebrates initiatives with an international and intercultural focus.
The university of Leeds team were nominated for the award by a student volunteer (Tracy Campbell) who participated in their 2024 visit to South Africa. 2,749 nominations were submitted for the awards in total with Gryphons Abroad winning their faculty round (Professional Services) before scooping the University wide award at a gala dinner last month.
Last summer, a team of 7 students and 3 staff (including Tracy) delivered cycling clinics, sport and leadership across 4 fantastic weeks in Kwa Zulu Natal. Their work supported the ongoing interventions of the Bambisanani Partnership & KZN Cycling in the region. Across the four weeks, the team engaged with 12 partner organisations in the UK and South Africa, mobilising 1,387 participations in sport and cycling. Students created memories and friendships, as well as developing transferable graduate level skills. The staff team provided 486 hours of training and support to the students. You can read more about Tracy’s experience as part of the Gryphons Abroad team here.
“We were absolutely thrilled to be nominated by one of our students for the Global Impact Award. Since our Gryphons Abroad project started in 2016, more than 100 staff and students have been part of the programme, enabling 8,000 young people to learn to ride and maintain bikes in rural South Africa. Each individual has contributed in their own way, and we know from experience the lasting impact sport can have on the lives of our students. This award recognises that impact as well as the impact in South Africa.” Suzzi Garnett, Gryphons Abroad project coordinator, University of Leeds.
Tracy Campbell
David Geldart from the Bambisanani Partnership added, “As a member of the University of Leeds Alumni I receive regular updates regarding the amazing innovative work that the university is engaged in internationally so this really is an outstanding achievement to be selected above all others to receive this award. Huge thanks must go to Andy Lockwood and Suzzie Garnet who have led on this amazing work.”
The team are hoping for another win this awards season with Tracy also shortlisted for the ‘Great volunteer’ Award at the Yorkshire University Sports Awards this month. The Gryphons Abroad project will celebrate its 10-year anniversary in 2026 and the team are already planning something special to recognise all of the staff and students who have contributed to the project's ongoing success.

With over 130 guests joining us on the rooftop, the event was a heartwarming success.
Thanks to the generosity and collective spirit of our guests, organisers, and sponsors, we proudly raised around £5,500, directly benefiting over 300 children in South Africa. Every pound raised is a step towards education, empowerment, and lasting change.
A huge thank you goes out to:
👏🏼 The Bambisanani Partnership team for making this possible.
👏🏼 Our valued suppliers for donating drinks that kept spirits high.
👏🏼 Our dedicated UYARE and Tharavadu staff, who gave up their leisure time to support such a meaningful cause.
👏🏼 All those supporters and sponsors who provided auction and raffle prizes.
We are proud to stand alongside amazing organisations and our wonderful community in creating real impact. Together, we made a difference.
David Geldart, Founder and CEO of the charity said: “This has become an annual event and it is so special. So much goes into the organisation; I have nothing but praise for the small army of people involved. The kindness and generosity of Siby Jose and his wonderful team are quite remarkable. This is the third time that they have hosted this event; twice at their award winning Tharavadu restaurant and now at their new and absolutely amazing Uyare restaurant. They have a real and genuine connection with our charity and nothing is too much trouble in ensuring that everyone has a great time. My special thanks to Catherine Chattoe and David Farmer for making it all happen.

Newcastle College Team Triumphs in Coast 2 Coast Cycle Raising £2,227 for The Bambisanani Partnership
Another year and another epic endurance challenge successfully completed by Newcastle College to raise much needed funds for the Bambisanani Partnership.
A dedicated team of eight staff members from Newcastle College, supported by award winning Cycling company, Saddle Skedaddle, recently completed the famous Coast 2 Coast Cycle across England in 2 days. Undertaken in glaring heat, the team cycled from Whitehaven by the Irish Sea to Tynemouth by the North Sea, raising £2,227 for the Bambisanani Partnership in the process.
The team completed 150 miles and an impressive 29,000 feet of elevation. It involved approximately 7 hours of cycling each day.
The team was made up of Brogan O’Connor, Simone Smith, Stephanie Cooper, James Dale, Paul Whitfield, Jonathan Rees, Liam Carr and Joe Adams.
Brogan O'Connor, Enrichment and Development Manager at the college and trustee of the Bambisanani Partnership, expressed her pride in the team's achievement, stating, "I am incredibly proud to be a part of the team of eight who have completed the Coast 2 Coast cycle in support of the Bambisanani Partnership. This journey has been more than just a physical challenge; it has been a testament to the power of the community and support of the Bambisanani Partnership at Newcastle College. The Bambisanani has been close to my heart for many years, and to help raise the profile and funds for the charity through these annual challenges is truly fulfilling. I am grateful for the support of everyone involved – from the team of NCG cyclists to sponsors and supporters – whose dedication has made this achievement possible. Together, we've made a meaningful impact, and I look forward to continuing the annual challenges well into the future”
David Geldart from the partnership added, “Newcastle College is a key member of the Bambisanani Partnership and under Brogan’s leadership they undertake significant fundraising challenges every year to further the work of the charity. Their dedication and commitment are exemplary in all aspects of their work. A team of students and staff, led by Brogan, head out to South Africa next week to deliver a range of Bambisanani programmes and projects in challenging conditions and we wish them all the very best in their pioneering work using the power of sport and education to change the lives.”

Dr. Poppy Bhengu: Bambisanani Supporter Achieves Academic Dream
The Bambisanani Partnership proudly celebrates one of its own – Dr. Poppy Bhengu, who has just obtained her Doctorate in Philosophy of Sports and Exercise Science. At just 35, Dr. Bhengu has overcome barriers, broken stereotypes, and become a beacon of hope for many young black girls across South Africa and beyond.
Dr. Poppy Bhengu:
Raised in a deeply cultural family and community where girls were traditionally groomed to be wives and taught that their place was in the kitchen, Poppy dared to dream differently. In a time when little girls imagined themselves walking down the aisle in white gowns, Poppy imagined herself walking across a graduation stage in a red gown, the prestigious symbol of a PhD.
Achieving such an academic milestone did not come easy, especially when balancing the many roles she plays: a young mother, a wife, a full-time employee, and a dedicated volunteer of the Bambisanani Partnership. Through this initiative, a powerful collaboration between South Africa and the UK that uses sport to promote education, leadership, and social cohesion in rural communities, Poppy has been instrumental in transforming lives while working tirelessly toward her own dream.
Her journey was filled with obstacles and personal sacrifices, but she never allowed her circumstances to define her future. Instead, she used them as fuel to push harder, to go further, and to rise higher. She wanted to show young girls that it’s possible, she believed that if you can dream it, you can achieve it.
As she steps into this new chapter, Dr. Bhengu hopes that this qualification will not only open new doors for her personally and professionally but also strengthen her role within Bambisanani. She envisions herself drawing more resources and forging new partnerships to expand the organisation’s reach and deepen its impact in underserved communities.
Her story is more than a personal victory, or a dream obtained; it is a powerful message to every young black girl from a township, village, or rural area, that their dreams are valid, their voices matter, and that they, too, can rewrite the narrative.
The Bambisanani Partnership salutes you, Dr. Poppy Bhengu. We are incredibly proud of your achievement and the inspiring journey you have walked to get here. You embody resilience, vision, and leadership, and you are living proof that dreams deferred are not dreams denied.
David Geldart, Founder of the Bambisanani Partnership, added: “I have watched Poppy’s amazing journey with great admiration. She is a most remarkable person who will inspire young people, both in South Africa and the UK, to dare to dream big and then do all that is necessary to fulfil that dream despite any obstacles. She is a fantastic member of our team who believes that anything is possible ….and proves it time and time again!”
Congratulations, Doctor. The red gown suits you beautifully, and the world is waiting for your next chapter.
Partnership with KZN Cycling goes from strength to strength
The pioneering Cycling Programme devised in partnership with Bambisanani, University of Leeds and KZN Cycling has gained international acclaim for its impact. More than 8,000 young people from the remote, rural Nkandla region have now been taught to ride and maintain bikes.
The Bambisanani/KZN Cycling partnership is transforming lives through cycling. Youngsters from the Nkandla region are now involved in competitive cycling as a result of this programme. Talented cyclists are emerging and are being given opportunities to participate in the KZN Cycling Community Series.
Alec Lenferna, CEO of KZN Cycling explained:
“The KZN Cycling Community Series is a new series of short course mountain bike races that was created to allow for maximum participation by young and not so young alike – and whether they are serious bike riders, or just people that want to become involved. The aim is to stage events in areas that have been traditionally under serviced by event organisers, and while the core focus of the events is on learners in local schools under the age of 19 years old, there was also an open category event for all members of the community that have wanted to take part. Apart from ensuring that more cycling events are staged across the different districts in the province, the series has also allowed for the KZN Cycling High Performances coaches to be able to identify any potential talented riders that may be out there that have as yet not come to the fore.
Despite the thumping rain in the lead up and intermittent bad weather on the day, the final event in the KZN Cycling Community Series was able to be staged at the Umhlathuze Sports Complex in Richards Bay. Even though the fields and surrounds were wet and muddy, the staff and course designers were still able to set up a race venue and circuit that was challenging enough to test the riders at the front of the packs, while also providing an element of fun for the not so serious contenders that joined the event. Sixty riders from the programme in the area were selected to take part in the event, including twelve riders from the Nkandla Hub. These are amongst the riders that have shown ongoing progress and development in the area, and who are now “on the radar” for more involvement.
This was a final event that was a fitting culmination of this new series that has now been established, and will be grown and staged again going forward. The primary difference in the new series will be that the format will allow for a final event with the best riders from all 11 districts able to win a spot to compete, and this will be one of the cornerstone elements of the progression elements for the 25/26 time period. I don’t doubt that the ‘Nkandla kids’ will be in the mix.”
David Geldart, CEO of the Bambisanani Partnership added, “The partnership with KZN Cycling is having remarkable impact on so many levels. Together we have brought cycling, with all its opportunities, to over 8,000 young people. As a means of transport, the bikes transform the 2 hours walk to school leading to improved punctuality, attendance and academic achievement. The programme is now providing opportunities for youngsters to participate in competitive cycling and from this we are ‘discovering’ some really talented cyclists who can potentially access High Performance Pathways. It is only a matter of time before one of our cyclists from Nkandla is on the podium! Huge thanks must go to Alec and all the team at KZN Cycling and indeed to Andy Lockwood and Suzzi Garnett from The University of Leeds for pioneering some outstanding work in area where bikes were rarely seen three years ago!
