Story
The children and young people of Kelvingrove Woodcraft Folk are running, walking, cycling, scooting, skating to raise money for the Red Cross, Gaza Crisis Appeal
We are deeply saddened by the on-going genocide in Palestine - the loss of life, injury, repeated forced displacement of the Palestinian people, as well destruction of infrastructure and culture. We especially want to help children, like ourselves, who deserve to live in safety and with dignity.
Please donate to our fundraiser if you can. No amount is too small.
The situation in Gaza is catastrophic. Famine is looming, clean water is scarce, and the healthcare system has all but collapsed. Most people have fled from their homes, but there is nowhere safe left to go. We are witnessing unacceptable and relentless human suffering. Aid alone will not solve this crisis, but it will save lives. People urgently need clean water, food, and medical care. Red Cross and Red Crescent teams have already helped over half the population, working tirelessly to alleviate suffering wherever they can.
Please note:
The Gaza Crisis Appeal will support people in areas affected and those potentially affected in the future by this crisis. Gift Aid claimed on donations received in response to this appeal will be used to fund the whole of our work. In the event there are surplus funds raised for this appeal these will be used for the general charitable purposes of the British Red Cross.
