Summer 2021
As with last year, this has been a very challenging time for all involved. A second lock down
and uncertainty in every sector has had a massive impact on the charity sector and giving. We have been
grateful for all the amazing supporter we have around the world and here in the UK. Despite all the
challenges we are facing, it is those who are working on the ground and in both the Children's
villages and Medical Centres that are the real heroes. We have all been inspired hearing from those who
are home schooling groups of children with little resources, access to education or in medical centres
helping the most vulnerable.
Planning fundraising events has been tricky as restrictions continue to change, but there is a
glimmer of hope as we move towards Autumn that we can start planning again - fingers crossed.
January 2021

September/October 2020.
We have all heard a lot about the mental health of children this year and the impact the virus
has had on our young people. However, despite having to cancel all our Summer planned events we are
looking to launch three Projects this September/October :
-
Our Annual Xmas Wish Appeal 2020: Help up ensure that this Year Xmas
continues to bring the Love and Magic that every child and young person deserves. We are looking to
raise £2000 this year. This is one of our favorite Appeals and brings so much joy to all
involved. (As always, every penny raised including 100% of all gift aid goes directly to our
projects and never on any admin).
-
Sponsor a
Child Initiative: This will be a new initiative with exciting details to follow.
Ready for a Virtual challenge this year?
We are the Official Affiliated Charity for many Virtual marathons/half
marathons/ 10km/5km and fun run around the UK - please get in touch for more details - and help children
and young people reach their goals.

Kindness Card Project - Giving young people the
chance to spread kindness
-
Every child has it in them to make a difference to another person no matter what their circumstances
and this can be done through a simple kind act. Every child/young person has a value.
-
-
By creating a kindness card children/young people are given the opportunity to look for similarities
rather than see differences when thinking about others and to break down these perception barriers.
-
- Please see the news section or get in touch for further information on our exciting project!
