Celebrating just a few of the people who have carried out all manner of weird and wonderful things to support us

Whether you’ve climbed a mountain, baked a cake, read books, dyed or shaved your hair – every pound you raise helps us bring hope to children at risk around the world. Thank you to every one of you!

You are all amazing…
