Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Not many of us are hardened campers, but we chose to spend a weekend under canvas to raise money to support Save the Children and MSF's work providing support and medical care to refugees from the conflict in Syria, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq.

There are many thousands of people displaced from their homes by the civil war. Families spend every night in tents far from their homes and often far from safety. As a village we wanted to do something to raise money that would also make us think about the struggles these ordinary people are facing having left their own homes.

We only did the camping event for a weekend, we all knew when we could go home for a hot meal. So so many others are now forced to do the same, unprepared and with no end in sight.

We've also organized our "Syrian Meal" evening, wonderful food for a good cause that will really make a difference.

We've asked MSF to earmark donations from this page specifically for funding their work in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan with refugees. 

Please give what you can or if you can't then simply sharing our page on facebook, twitter or google+ will help us raise more.
