About our charity : Crimestoppers Crimestoppers
Crimestoppers is the independent crime-fighting charity. We help to arrest 17 criminals every day and one murderer every 5 days. Crimestoppers runs the anonymous phone number, 0800 555 111, that people can call to pass on information about crime. We also have an anonymous online ‘Giving Information’ form that people can fill-out to pass on information. Some people fear the consequences of going to the police when they know about crime. Crimestoppers is there for them. Because the phone number is anonymous, callers are not asked for any personal information and calls cannot be traced. The 0800 555 111 phone number has been helping to find criminals and solve crimes for more than 20 years. We’ve received more than 1million phone calls with useful information about crime. It’s a system that works for everyone – except criminals. Crimestoppers works. Every day around 20 people are arrested and charged as a result of calls to Crimestoppers. With your support, we can continue fighting to make our society a safer place to live.

RAISING MONEY FOR THE CHILDREN'S SOCIETY

In February 2007, I will be raising money for charity by trekking across the Arctic - through Finland, Norway and Sweden - along with husky dogs and a cross-party group of MPs.

The trek is being organised by Westminster Challenge - an organisation created in 2006 to help MPs promote and fundraise for charities. I've signed up to the gym to get myself ready for the trek, and I'll be fundraising to support a range of charities including Cancer Research UK and Crimestoppers. In particular I'll be supporting the Children's Society, which is based in my constituency of Islington South & Finsbury.

The Children's Society aims to give all children the same chance in life, no matter how disadvantaged their background. The charity was established in the time of Dickens to keep children who were so-called ‘waifs and strays’ out of the workhouse. More than a century later it is still working for disadvantaged children – children who don’t have parents or guardians to support them, or children who arrive in this country on their own.

I strongly support their work with children at risk on the streets, children in trouble with the law, disabled children and young refugees. I want to make sure people know about the important work this charity does, and I want to raise as much money as possible to support them.

Help me to support The Children's Society and other charities

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. All donations will go directly to charity and will not be used towards the costs of the trip. Donating through this website it is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: the charities will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support
