Support Our Hike for Save the Children

Hi everyone,

We are Tcha, Jim, and Matthew, we all work in IT and are determined to make a difference in the lives of children both in the UK and worldwide. Through a sponsored hike in the majestic Scottish Highlands, we aim to raise funds for Save the Children, a charity devoted to giving every child the chance of a future they deserve.

Why Save the Children?

In these challenging times, the plight of the most vulnerable in our society, especially children, is all too easy to overlook. The recent budget announced today (Mar 2024), falls short of providing the necessary support for the poorest in our country. Moreover, the ongoing conflicts around the globe continue to devastate the lives of countless children. Save the Children works tirelessly to ensure that children in the UK and worldwide receive the protection, education, and necessities they need. The funds raised will go towards their crucial programmes, such as emergency response, education, healthcare, and support for children in poverty.

The Event

Our journey will take us through the landscapes of the Highlands, a testament to the resilience and beauty we wish to see reflected in the lives of children around the world.

Our Goal

Our target is to raise £3,000 in direct donations. We are thrilled to announce that Octopus Giving will generously match the first £500 pound raised, doubling our impact up to that point. We're also in talks with other business partners to match donations, amplifying your contribution.

The Impact

Every donation brings us closer to a world where no child is left behind. With your support, the charity can:

• Provide essential healthcare and nutrition to children in need.

• Support education programmes, ensuring children have access to quality learning.

• Offer relief and support in emergency situations and conflicts.

• Help lift children and their families out of poverty.

Join Us

Your support means everything. Not just to us, but to the countless children whose lives we can touch through this effort. Together, we can make a lasting difference. Donate today, and let's change the future, one step at a time.

Thank You

Every step we take, every donation received, is a step towards a brighter tomorrow for children worldwide. We promise to keep you updated on our journey and the impact of your contributions. Thank you for joining us in this cause.
