We are most delighted at the High Five Club to welcome on board Simon Barnes who I have known for donkeys years as a man who has spent time living in the remote Luangwa valley of Zambia with myself and the legendary eccentric genius of a man late Bob Sjernstedt. It’s an absolute honour to have Simon join us as our Patron alongside Bill Oddie, and Will Travers, things can only get better as we look forward to growing our membership and consequently seed funding and uplifting rural communities in Africa in some way incentivising them to look after their own natural heritage through livelihood development strategies and self reliance. We are happy that all our loyal supporters and members of the Club trust what we do and believe in our ethos as all monies they they entrust and give go straight where it is most needed in the rural communities. We will never tire in giving communities a hand up as together we are a reckonable force with gravitas and gratitude. Stay with us and we will not let you down for what you believe in is what inspires us to keep going and together we will make a difference A fiver at a time!!
