Mums for War Child - Fundraising event
Aim: Raise money for War Child through our community classes and events
We’re hosting this amazing fundraising event being organised by a grassroots group of north London mums, brought together by heartbreak over the devastating impact of war on children around the world - from malnutrition and displacement to the psychological effects of trauma and cultural erasure.
This group of mums have been watching while nurturing their own families, each wondering: what can we do? So they decided to act by fundraising, skill-sharing and building community - each contributing small actions that collectively add up.
They’re raising money for War Child UK, a humanitarian charity that supports children and families living in conflict zones around the world. Jim Benner (Global Music Lead at War Child) says, "No child ever started a war, yet they are always the innocent victims.”
