About the charity : Hope and Homes for Children Hope and Homes for Children
Hope and Homes for Children’s mission is to give hope to the poorest children in the world – those who are orphaned, abandoned or vulnerable – by enabling them to grow up within the love of a family and the security of a home, so they can fulfil their potential. In Central and Eastern Europe, we close orphanages and move children into family-based care whilst developing the services needed to help prevent child abandonment. In Africa, we provide a vital lifeline for families at risk of breakdown due to the pressures of poverty, disease or conflict. We believe that, above all else, every child should live within a loving family environment.

Personal message:

I've had a beard since I left school (35 years ago). A friend (Hanna) suggested I could look 10 years younger by shaving it off (sounds good to me). I'm happy to do so in support of one of the most worthwhile charities I know - Hope and Homes for Children.

I plan to raise at least £5,000 which is sufficient to assess and re-home (in their own country) 10 children currently in Eastern European institutions. Imagine your child being locked away with nothing to look forward to and then imagine that child with a family and a future.

When I've raised the money I might even have a haircut as well.

Love and Peace
Chris
