Hosting a charity go karting event

Brad Ashford of Oakley New Homes and team are proud to be supporting one of their developers, River Oaks Homes, in their efforts to raise funds for the incredible charity The TEA Project.

Brad comments “River Oaks Homes are hosting a charity go karting event, and we would love for as many people as possible to get involved and support this fantastic cause. The TEA Project works to provide education and opportunity for children in rural Sri Lanka, creating safe spaces where young people can learn, grow and build brighter futures.

This cause holds deep personal meaning for Ray, the owner of River Oaks Homes. Ray’s son Oli, who sadly passed away recently, played an important role in supporting the charity and helping it grow in its early days.

“Oli didn’t just support us; he helped transform the project. He connected us with his friend Laurens at ASICS. Because of Oli’s passion, ASICS donated £10,000, and through their Sri Lankan partners Hirdaramani we received another £10,000. Those funds allowed us to build our very first TEA Centre a complete game changer that shaped everything that followed”.

Oli’s passion and belief in the project had a lasting impact

“When Oli later visited the completed centre with Nick, he met the staff, walked the mountain beside it, and saw what he had helped create. Today, our sports field is named in his memory. His influence is woven into the very foundations of the project.

Oli wasn’t just a dear friend, he was part of the beginning of The TEA Project. His belief in us helped make the centre possible, and his impact will always be remembered.”

In honour of Oli’s memory, Ray is now doing everything he can to continue supporting the charity and the children it helps. The upcoming go-karting event is one of the ways we’re hoping to raise vital funds to help The TEA Project continue its life-changing work.

Together we can continue the legacy Oli helped create and make a real difference to the lives of children who need it most.

Agents Giving and The guild of Property Professionals are honoured to support The Tea Project.
