done consistently over 25 days. We have a wealth of fun ideas; just get in touch and we can help to bring as many as possible to life!” Key programmes currently under way include professional driver training activities in Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia – more than at any time previously in Transaid’s history – plus ongoing work with the FIA Foundation and FIA to establish a national helmet coalition for motorcycle riders in Kenya. Transaid is also working hard to secure donor funding for the next phase of its bicycle ambulance project in Zambia, which has been proven to dramatically reduce severe malaria mortality in children under six. For more information on Transaid and to get involved visit www.transaid.org ATA/TIR/SAD references are included in a Goods Movement Reference (GMR) before attending the port/IBF for endorsement of the documentation, where any holds placed on the GMR will be released.

Get involved “One way supporters can get involved is by holding their own fundraising activities around the number ‘25’. This could be anything from baking 25 cakes in aid of Transaid and selling slices to colleagues – to walking, cycling or sports challenges, whether it be 25 miles, 25 laps or something
