Hunger on a massive scale is looming across East Africa. If we don’t act now, it will get much worse.

Story

Members of Charter Chambers are fundraising for the DEC East Africa Appeal. With 20 million people facing starvation, the UN have recognised this as the biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945. 

Having carried out consultancy work in Somaliland throughout 2015, we are particularly keen to help ensure that much needed aid reaches this region. 

On Saturday 15th April Charter members Chloé Barton, Grace Pelly and David Wood will be abseiling down the ArcelorMIttal Orbit in the Stratford Olympic Park. At 262 feet (roughly 26 storeys) that is the highest freefall abseil in the UK! Peter Melleney will be attending as self-appointed coach, photographer and substitute.
