This page is now out of date - please check our social media pages and more recent blog posts for the latest updates on how you can help

We are so grateful for all the support we have received in our response to the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria this month.

Our Crisis Response Team have been working in Turkey to identify, make safe, and keep safe children who have been orphaned or impacted by the disaster. The team will continue working with local authorities and social workers to ensure the safety and wellbeing of these children and families.

How can I help?

Currently, the best way to help is to donate funds to empower the team’s work and enable us to provide essential support to those in need, using the links below.

• We are now accepting donations of essential items for children and families in Turkey. Donations of these items can be brought to our office at 143 Attenborough Lane, NG9 6AA

  • The office will be open Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 15:00 between Monday 27th February and Friday 10th March

  We are looking for the following items only:

  • New underwear - all sizes/ages

  • Toiletries and personal hygiene products

  • Baby consumables: nappies, wipes, formula, food

  • New towels

  • Basic household cleaning supplies

  • Tinned food with at least 6 months left on the expiry date

  • Packets of pasta, rice, and cereal with at least 6 months left on the expiry date

  • Foil blankets

  • Colouring books, pencils, and crayons

  • Tennis balls

  • Skipping ropes

• One of the things families are in need of is shelter. Donations through the links below will help us buy tents and deliver them to those who need them most.

As our core UK administration costs are underwritten by a corporate partner, we guarantee that every penny we receive in donations goes directly towards helping the children.

A small processing fee is taken from donations made through the links below before we receive them. For information on fee-free ways to donate, please contact us.

As the situation changes, we will keep our website and social media channels updated with the latest information on what our team is doing and how to help.

Thank you so much for your support.
