The Separated Child Foundation helps young refugees in the UK who have become separated from their parents and close family. We offer emotional, social and practical support to separated children and engage in educational activities to raise broader awareness of their needs.

Story

Well, I did it! Today (Friday 31st October) I ran 5 kilometres (3.3 miles) in memory of Ester Gluck and I am so grateful for all the support I have received and the generous donations from so many wonderful friends. I am truly blessed. Thank you so much. If you are visiting this page to donate, please do so. It is a worthy cause.

The Separated Child Foundation has been set up in memory of Ester, who was so dedicated to her work with refugee families, especially those children who have also lost their parents.. As a friend of Ester, I did this run to honour her memory. As a Jew, I feel it important that having been refugees ourselves so many times in our history, we do what we can to help new refugees fleeing persecution, famine, torture and more. I urge you to visit the web site - www.separatedchild.org to learn about this excellent cause.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Separated Child Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.


Thank you so much for your support.
