Concern Worldwide, England & Wales

Charity Registration No. 1092236

Concern Worldwide is an international humanitarian organisation dedicated to reducing suffering and ending extreme poverty. Since the beginning, over 40 years ago, our focus has been on improving the lives of the poorest people.

To achieve our mission we work in developing countries where our programmes comprise both long term development work and responses to emergency situations. We also seek to address the root causes of poverty through our advocacy and development education work.

Concern Worldwide works in 28 of the poorest countries around the world. Last year alone, we worked directly with ten million people to find long-term solutions to extreme poverty.

Concern focuses on five key programme areas: Emergency Response, Health and Nurtition, HIV/AIDS, Livelihood Security and Education. We work directly with poor communities, asking them what would be the greatest long term improvements to their lives.

My story

Hi all,

Thank you for taking time to click onto my page. So, last summer when the weather was warm and evenings were long I decided to do the London Marathon 2009 - madness I know but it made sense then!! Now that I'm in the middle of training on dark, cold, wet London evenings it doesn't seem like the 'walk in the park' I'd originally expected. So, what's really keeping me going at the moment and will keep me going for the 26 + miles on the day, (hopefully!!) is the the fact that I'm doing this marathon to raise money for Concern.

Concern Worldwide is an international organisation, founded in response to the famine inBiafrain 1968, dedicated to reducing suffering and working towards the elimination of extreme poverty in the world’s poorest countries.

So, here's where you come in, if you would like to sponsor me don't be shy just click on the link, it's all really simple to do and should only take 5 mins. Any amount donated is really appreciated

Below are examples of how your money will help........again thanks for taking time to look at my page.....NOW, GO ON, SPONSOR ME!!

How the money you raise could help

£10 could help buy two sets of agricultural tools to help families inhelp themselves out of the poverty cycle.

£40 could help provide a Shelter kit for a family affected by the current crisis in western– providing urgently needed protection from the elements.

£155 could help build a hand dug well for use by 20 families (about 100 people) in– providing them with clean, safe water close to the home.
