Mile of Pennies (and other coins) 2014

Wilkinsons will be home to our fundraising attempt on Saturday 21st June.  Our main objective is to raise funds towards the provision of aid for Syrian refugees. The bulk of money raised will be used to help fund Shelter Box which has an amazing record of  supporting over 5,000 families in Syria, Iraqi Kurdistan, Lebanon and Jordan in some truly challenging situations Over 2.5 million refugees, three quarters of them being women and children, still seek safety and shelter across neighbouring countries.

The vast majority of fleeing families arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs. Many are injured from continuous bombing and shelling. They have no regular food and no income. Men, women and children are suffering through no fault of their own. They are in desperate need of shelter and other vital supplies.

. But three years on many thousands still need our help today more than ever.
