Hi everyone,

We are tremendously pleased to inform you that we are given the incredible privilege to join, together with members of 8 Allen & Overy offices (including the offices of Allen & Overy Paris and Allen & Overy Luxembourg), a trek in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Romania from 22 through to 28 September 2019.

This trek is a wonderful opportunity to bring the concepts of adventure and solidarity together, with the goal to raise funds for Allen & Overy’s Global Charity Partner, Hope and Homes for Children (https://www.hopeandhomes.org/)*.

Hope and Homes for Children was created in 1994 and is working alongside governments and civil society organisations in over 30 countries in order to offer orphans a home and with the strong willingness and hope that one day, every child will grow in a loving family. 

In order to help us fulfill our project and live an out-of-the-world and human adventure, we are counting on YOU! 

We need to collect 2,800 euros (being 2,500 British pounds) each by 15 October 2019 which will be donated in full to the benefit of Hope and Homes for Children.

Whatever the amount of your donation, by contributing you become a crucial link of our journey. Because we believe that every donation matters, because it is key in our busy daily lives to take a step back and find a moment to dedicate time to others, and because YOU can make a difference and be part of this incredible adventure, we are inviting you to support Hope and Homes for Children with the goal of making a real difference to the lives of thousands of children.
Please keep in mind that there is no small contribution as each euro counts to help us support Hope and Homes for Children. Please note that all payments are 100% secured and that a tax exemption receipt will be delivered at your request.

In addition to having the enormous opportunity to participate in this project, we offer a gift to each contributor, depending on the amount of the contribution:

- for all contributors: a post card from Romania

- €30 and more: a key ring from Romania

- €50 and more: a notebook

- €80 and more: a tote bag

- €100 and more: a candle

- €150 and more: a mug

- €200 and more: a stainless steel bottle

- €250 and more: a surprise

- €500 and more: a diner with us, in order to share with you the recitation of our wonderful adventure

Don’t wait any longer and join us in this adventure!

It doesnt have to be this way.Allen & Overy employees are aiming to raise £1,000,000 over two years to support their global charity partner Hope and Homes for Children and provide significant pro bono support to strengthen the charitys work around the world.This funding and pro bono support will enable Hope and Homes for Children help thousands of children grow up in a family instead of loveless orphanages.Thank you for your support to this partnership which will change the lives of so many children, through giving them hope for a brighter future in the love and protection of a family.
