Story

Today, 12 November 2016, with much delight, we welcomed our first grandchild.  He's arrived safely, and he and his mother are doing wonderfully.  

We are so very much the lucky ones, with medical attention available on demand, food, warmth, a loving family. This isn't the case for too many children throughout the world and so to give thanks, I thought that I would try to raise a contribution to UNICEF.

The price of a coffee, a couple of packets of Hobnobs or posting a card to a friend could buy a blanket to keep a child warm.

This is what UNICEF has to say about their work:

"Right now, millions of children are in danger. They face violence, disease, hunger and the chaos of war. Unicef ensures more children get life-saving food, vaccinations, education and protection than anyone else. Today, children in places like Syria, South Sudan and Yemen are caught up in violent conflict, with millions forced to flee their homes. In 2015, Unicef responded to 310 emergencies in 102 countries. Please donate what ever you can to my fundraiser for Unicef UK. With your help, we can build a safer world for children."

Please join our celebration and let's make a difference.
