Mums for War Child - Fundraising Event, 4th Oct
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
Raise money for War Child through our community classes and events
We’re a grassroots group of north London mums, brought together by heartbreak over the devastating impact of war on children around the world - from malnutrition and displacement to the psychological effects of trauma and cultural erasure.
We’ve been watching while nurturing our own families, each wondering: what can we do? So we decided to act by fundraising, skill-sharing and building community - each contributing small actions that collectively add up.
We’re raising money for War Child UK, a humanitarian charity that supports children and families living in conflict zones around the world. Jim Benner (Global Music Lead at War Child) says, "No child ever started a war, yet they are always the innocent victims.”

We also want to thank the Goan Community Centre for generosity donating use of their hall for the yoga session. If you'd like to book this welcoming space for your own event, please contact [email protected]
