Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

We successfully completed the Edinburgh marathon yesterday!  It was extremely tough but well worth it when we crossed the finishing line and received our medals!!

All money raised will be donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC)Gaza Appeal

After an 18 month blockade of Gaza and three weeks of heavy shelling the humanitarian crisis inGaza is completely overwhelming. Thousands of people are struggling to survive with many having lost their homes and most down to their last supplies of food and only limited amounts of fresh drinking water.

What DEC agencies are doing?

DEC Agencies have already reached over 800,000 people, supplying them with items such as food, water, medical supplies, heaters, blankets, plastic sheeting, hygiene kits, baby kits and rebuilding resources.

Just £25 can buy warm blankets for 8 children

£100 provides Food parcels for a family for two months

£500 provides essential school rebuilding equipment
