We are a group of Year 4 children from Manchester, who have been working with the charity Global Action Plan to make a change to make the world a better place for us all to live in. We have decided that the Ukrainian people deserve a safe and happy home, food, water, clothes and education - something we all have and feel very lucky to have. We hope to raise awareness of the struggles refugees continue to face, and encourage others to welcome them with an open heart. To do this, we are planning to walk the distance from Ukraine to Manchester - 1830miles - in 30 days! This will be 5miles each per day.

Please share our story and please donate if you can as we feel this is a very worthy cause!

As you know, the humanitarian situation is increasingly dire and desperate. Millions of people have no safe place to call home. More than 2.5 million have already left Ukraine, while countless more are still trapped underground, taking cover from the shelling, and desperate for a safe escape. Red Cross teams have been working around the clock to get critical care to those who need it most, both in Ukraine and its bordering countries. But with recent freezing temperatures, and ongoing violence, an enormous number of people urgently need help right now.
