About this Fundraising
This festive season, Translators without Borders aims to raise $30,000 to increase their ongoing efforts and spread even more TWB’s translations that can give voice to causes and people as diverse as refugee women, children in conflict zones, and people affected by disability and health crises in developing countries.

How do we support this cause?
STP is encouraging all our staff, partners and friends to raise £500 by 21 December to support Translators without Borders through this Christmas fundraising appeal. Whatever the final sum raised here, we will top it up by 50%.
But that's not everything! If we reach the donation targets of £150, £250, £350 and £500, the members of our management team will carry out a daring challenge that has been carefully chosen by our STP colleagues.
£150 – STP’s Learning & Development Manager Raisa McNab will stuff her face with as many mince pies as she can in 1 minute.
£250 – STP’s Managing Director Anu Carnegie-Brown will dress up as Princess Fiona from Shrek and belt out a Christmas carol.
£350 – STP’s Business Systems Manager Simon Treanor will dress up as Santa Claus and run around the business park at STP’s HQ.
£500 – STP’s Executive Chairman Jesper Sandberg will open and eat a tin of Swedish Christmas delicacy surströmming – the stinkiest food on earth (fermented herring).
Please help us support the important work of Translators without Borders.
