Our supporters are the lifeblood of our organisation – every step walked, cake baked and penny raised is life-changing to children around the world.
On this page we want to celebrate just a few of those people who have carried out all manner of weird and wonderful ways to support us. Whether you’ve climbed a mountain, baked a cake, read books, dyed or shaved your hair – every pound you’ve raised will help us change the lives of children around the world. Thank you to every one of you!
