Speaking at IFCO conference in Oz
Donation protected
I have been given the most amazing opportunity to speak at a global conference hosted by IFCO (ifco2015.com) about my mentoring project, and the beniefits of peer led mentoring and support. The amazing thing but also the big down fall, is that the conference is being held in Australia. The funds raised will help me cover flights, accommodation and the conference fees for the week long conference.
Being a care leaver, the opportunity to speak at a conference like this doesn't happen often, not only has the expertise of my work been recognised, but also the positive attitude towards me having care experience.
I hope you are able to help me make a trip across the world to continue to improve the care system for care leavers globally not just nationally.

Goals
Conference Fee - £280 or £322 (depending on if I can get early bird discount AFTER the deadline..) - Currently waiting to find out if my application for sponsorship of conference fees will be accepted.
Flights - £800 BOOKED
Accomindation - £250
Travel/food while there £100?
Total 1500
The total needed to raise is a little more as gofundme takes 10% of everything donated on the site, which leaves me at least £100 short at the end, which is quite a lot to find on top of the funding I have already put in personally.
