Raising money for

Save the Children

Charity Registration No. England and Wales (213890) Scotland (SC039570)

We're the world's independent children's charity. We're outraged that millions of children are still denied proper healthcare, food, education and protection. We're working flat out to get every child their rights and we're determined to make further, faster changes. How many? How fast? It's up to you.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page!

As you may or may not know, Thomas MacThomas and Alastair Sloan (or Stoon) are heading off on the Mongol Rally to raise money for Save The Children. Passing through the industrial wastelands of Eastern Europe, the deserts of Central Asia and Mongolia itself (were tarmac roads are still very much on the to-do list), we will arrive some seven weeks later in Ulan Bataar, where our vehicles will be auctioned off to the local Mongolian people, and all proceeds donated to charitable projects operating in the country. We have made it our target to raise at least £1000 for Save The Children before we leave.

Save The Children operates a number of highly regarded projects in Mongolia which are hugely beneficial to the local population. In 2008, they helped to improve the quality of education for 12,125 pre- and primary school children by training 485 preschool teachers in child-centred teaching methods. They also enabled 2,593 poor, nomadic, minority ethnic and disabled children to go to school by setting up kindergartens and providing mobile teachers. Working with a local partner, they provided direct services for 709 disabled children. And more than 2,000 disabled children benefited from training and information they gave to their parents and carers.

Mongolia is a fantastically vibrant country but has much work to be done to allow its people to live healthy and educated lives. Working with charities such as Save The Children allows us to make a direct contribution to these efforts.

Please give as much as you can afford, every little helps and feel free to get in touch with us either by email (a.j.g.sloan@googlemail.com, thomas.macthomas@googlemail.com) or Facebook if you'd like any more information about the rally or can offer us expertise, spare parts or any mechanical know-how!

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