About Me
- Tiffany Sherrington
- Hello there. Now generally, I’m not one for public declarations. However, I'm a mere 1 week away from embarking on one of the most terrifying and exciting experiences of my life. On May 30th, I will be travelling to Brazil, to a place called Iracambi, deep in the Atlantic Rainforest. Set up by pioneering South Africans, Iracambi’s mission is to make the conservation of the rainforest more attractive than its destruction. It works with the local community to conserve the land and help generate income in one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Once there, I will spend a month donating my skills to help them create a brand and communications strategy, which I hope will make a positive difference to their future success. This blog will be a document of my time there, a way for friends and family to see what I’m up to and, crucially, a portal to help raise funds for this project (aiming for a total of £1000). If you feel you’d like to sponsor my work out there, just click on the ‘Make a donation’ button: any donations will be incredibly gratefully received and you’ll be able to see how that money will be spent. Many thanks for taking the time to read this and wish me luck!

Carbon Crim
As part of the work Iracambi does is to fight for the preservation of the rainforest, I was feeling uneasy about the fact I'm about to undertake a nigh-on 12k mile return flight to get there. Can anyone say carbon crim?! So, I went onto the governments ACT ON CO2 website and found me an approved offset company - www.clear-offset.com. Easy navigatable website, slight glitch with the payment page, but overall, job done!

Brazilian Bring and Buy
A couple of months ago (over a secret burger) my Strat boys helped me come up with a fab idea for fundraising for Iracambi. It had to be in keeping with Iracambi's stance on sustainability and the environment, be fun and, ultimately, profitable. So, last Friday, the lovely people of Mindshare brought and bought at my Brazilian Bring and Buy sale. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me raise a whopping £261.10! And thanks also to Mike and co for manning the stalls and taking a few cheeky photos. Mainly photos of the cakes, mind...
