Brian Stockdale, Treasurer of our Preston Fundraising Branch, said: "Walking seemed a perfect way to help raise much needed funds for the work of Save the Children. It's 2,786 miles to Syria and my personal challenge is to cover at least 200 miles every month."

Volunteering Abroad

Unfortunately we do not send volunteers from the UK to volunteer abroad. To reduce travel and make the most of local skills, we employ national staff and involve volunteers wherever possible.
