My story

 

What better way to celebrate your 50th birthday than dying your hair bright pink and orange!  On 20th September Alastair Welford, Chair of Trustees for the Toybox Charity will dye his hair in our brand colours, yes you read that correctly... a 50 yr old with pink and orange hair!

This isn't just a one day event, for the following two weeks Alastair plans to meet with church leaders and embassy representatives to discuss the work of Toybox and the needs of street children in Latin American.

We hope that this event will gain publicity for Toybox , bringing us into the eyes of the press as we boldly (and colourfully!) stand out to give the street children a voice. In order to practically help the children we are also hoping to raise funds through this event...

Alastair is asking that each person donate £50 for his 50th year! So please dig deep and donate to help us achieve our vision of a world where there are no street children, where families are restored and those who are disadvantaged have choices and hope.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor: The Toybox Charity gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor Alastair now and make a real difference.
