Every challenge helps change futures
Together, Team Save are making a real difference to the lives of children.
Here are just a few of our fundraising heroes who have used determination, collaboration and imagination to conquer a challenge and raise money to give more children more possibilities in life.
THE HOPE BOWL
In 2022, 13-year-old Gabriel from Cumbria raised over £250,000 for Ukrainian
children, after thousands entered a raffle to win his handmade wooden bowl.
A year on he launched a second fundraiser coined 'The Hope Bowl' with proceeds
going towards the Save the Children Emergency Fund after travelling to Poland to
meet Ukrainian refugees benefitting from his initial donation.
The school Gabriel visited supports over 450 6-17 year old children from Ukraine.
They continue studying the Ukrainian curriculum with some added polish lessons.
The draw for Gabriel’s Hope Bowl will close on Friday 14th April. Enter now.
Meet 10 year old Evangeline
The amazing Evangeline, who cycled from Lands End to John o'Groats with her dad and uncle to raise money for children.
In 2020, Evangeline, decided that she wanted to raise money for Save the Children
as she felt that children shouldn’t be growing up in poverty and wanted to do her
bit to help.
So, in August, Evangeline, her dad and her uncle decided to take on the incredible
challenge of cycling the length of the UK, from Land’s End to John O’Groats.
The journey took her 22days, during which she covered over a thousand gruelling miles!
Evangeline’s amazing efforts led to her raising more than £3,000!
