Story
I (plus my girls Olivia and Ruby) will be walking 12,000 steps a day for 28 days in February to bring hope, life, colour and fun to 12,000 slum community and refugee children. Children on the Edge exists to help marginalised children, who are living on the edge of their societies. These are children without parental care, neglected or persecuted by their governments, ignored by international media and missed by large overseas agencies.
Across The Body Shop at Home we are fundraising for Children on the Edge; to bring hope, life, colour and fun to children living on the edge of society.Children on the Edge was sparked into life by Dame Anita Roddick over 30 years ago. Not long after this The Body Shop At Home began to support them. Children on the Edge supports over 15,000 of the worlds most marginalised children to realise their rights. In India, Uganda, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Lebanon they help create protective environments where children can thrive.In 2021 our support can help Dalit children in India to access education, develop community activism and grow in confidence; helping to break the cycle of discrimination.
