Raising money for

War Child

Charity Registration No. 1071659

War Child is an international child protection agency that works with the most marginalised children - child soldiers, street kids and children in prison - in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. War Child believes it is unacceptable that children continue to be victims of war. In the last decade alone 1.5 million children have died in wars. Four million have been disabled and a further 10 million traumatised. We provide vital, on the ground support programmes in each of the conflict zones we work in but also lobby politicians and governments to ensure our cause and the rights of children affected by war remains high on the public and political agendas. This approach allows us to ensure every pound we receive goes as far as possible - not only to the crucial projects in the field, but to ensuring children caught up in conflict, no matter where they may be, have a chance to be protected. We work where other agencies do not, reaching the most at risk children in the most dangerous war zones and your support means we can continue to do so. War Child looks forward to a world in which war is not prosecuted on children.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am sure that I have bored you already about this trip, it has been a while in planning.

A few of us decided to do this trip last December, then after watching the comic relief team reach the summit and after a few bottles of wine we stupidly decided to select one of the hardest routes up Killy, which still still seems like a good idea but I am sure won't seem so sensible come October 1st. As well as some difficult trekking, it involves some actual climbing which as none of us are experienced climbers (or really inexperienced climbers!) will be a bit of challenge. Oh well, only 3 people have died this year on this route.

It is for an amazing cause. If you don't know about War Child already, please check out their web site - www.warchild.org.uk. I know that there are an incredible amount of worthy charities out there trying to get your hard earned money, but really there can't be many more deserving then this one. It is close to my heart as I am one of its trustees - that means that I see the amazing work that your cash will do. By donating to this charity there will be children that will survive and start to lead normal, productive lives in the war torn countries within which War Child operates - no pressure.

I am sure you know about JustGiving but 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 War Child 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 War Child.

So please dig deep and donate now.
