Through Orange United everyone at GSK can join in and take part in fundraising activities for Save the Children. GSK matches every pound raised by employees. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><p>So far, globally, we have raised over <strong>£2.6 million</strong> which, combined with further support from GSK, has contributed to programmes in 41 countries and helped over 2.6 million children – including fully vaccinating over 97,500 children under 5, helping over 254,000 children affected by humanitarian crises, and training over 16,000 health workers. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><p>Through funds raised in the UK, GSK is supporting two programmes and to date your money has helped over 523 children and 100 families through: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><p><strong>Born to Read</strong> – a programme that helps children, who are falling behind, to read confidently, by placing volunteer reading helpers in schools across England. So far, GSK has helped transform the literacy and life chances of 456 children by training and supporting 152 volunteers to provide one-on-one reading support. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><p><strong>Eat, Sleep, Learn, Play!</strong> – a programme that provides essential items, such as a cooker, a bed or a pushchair, to low income families who have young children and can’t afford these items themselves. Through the provision of these items we help to reduce the financial burden on families, hopefully alleviating family stress and creating a better environment in the home for children to reach their potential. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
