I am Andrea Bright, the current Chair of the Malvern Branch of Save the Children.

The Malvern Branch is a busy and active branch of Save the Children raising around £15,000 each year.

Our purpose is to fundraise for Save the Children UK to help children here and abroad to have a healthy start in life and achieve their potential. For every pound we raise 91 pence is used in projects to help children. If it is gift aided then an additional 25p is added.

Save the Children tries to be there in times of crisis be it war, famine, flood, epidemic or other disasters. The money we raise also goes towards long term projects e.g. Building maternity hospitals in places such as Myanmar, supplying radios to children so they can continue their education in places like Sierra Leone after the Ebola epidemic and buying and outfitting a ship to rescue refugees adrift on the Mediterranean. In this country we supply much needed household items to families struggling to cope. We also run projects to encourage families to develop ways to help children who may be struggling at school to catch up with their peers.

We are always looking for new supporters and volunteers. If you would like to help then please do contact us.
