Our supporter events are a great way to find out more about how gifts in wills make a difference to children in the UK and all around the world.

With everything going on in the world today, it can be easy to forget about the positive steps we make for children every single day, and the strides forward with every year and decade that goes by.

In fact, we've been working for a fairer world for over a century.  And we’ve helped over 45 million children across the world get the medicine, good food and education they need.

Join us at our invitation-only supporter events this spring where you’ll have the opportunity to hear from inspiring speakers who’ve seen first-hand the lasting change our work makes possible for, and with, children.
