Charlotte Arrowsmith is raising money for Hope and Homes for Children

5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Following the visit to Qatar by Mark Cook, the founder of Hope and Homes for Children earlier this year, I have had a strong passion to support his charity.  Hope and Homes for Children sets up homes for children who have lost their parents and homes as a result of war, disease or other conflicts, giving orphaned children hope for a brighter future. So, donning my musty, old trainers and getting out into the sweltering heat of the Gulf seemed like one good way to raise a bit of money.  With the aid of a gas mask, bucket loads of chocolate, and a motor attached to the soles of each foot, I'm hoping to complete the half marathon before it gets dark and the organisers pack up and go home!  Now, there's a challenge!

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
