Speaking of Sponsorship
Sponsors and supporters share their love of helping children
“There are so many people living in poverty all around the world and you may not be able to help all of them. But I have seen how sponsoring just one person has brought a life-changing hope to his life.”
“I have so much enjoyed being a sponsor for many years. The gratitude and love and letters I receive from children and family warms and touches my heart.”
“We would encourage anybody to sponsor, it’s so easy to spend £28 a month on coffees, magazines and treats without really thinking about it. But for the same cost each month you could change a child’s life.”
