WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DONATIONS
Collecting, processing and sending aid overseas costs a lot of money and last year we spent £96,191.96 on shipping alone.

The money and other goods donated (those that are not suitable for sending abroad) help us to pay for sending aid abroad and running the charity.
