Fund Launches Biggest Awareness and Fundraising Campaign ever -

'Children at Risk Child Awareness Year 2008'.

The launch pad for our Children At Risk Child Awareness Year 2008 will be our "A M8 4 Life" campaign, to raise awareness of the factors that place children at risk. The campaign will incorporate a major fundraising push to enable us to increase the number of grants we distribute. We hope to raise £100,000. Think how many more grants that will mean and how many more children in the UK will benefit.

"A M8 for Life" takes the form of a series of handbooks to assist adults and children in dealing with issues such as bullying and safety, whilst also offering advice on how to cope with illness or disability. These booklets will also help our fundraising efforts as we receive ongoing income from them.

Thousands of booklets will be distributed to businesses, schools, colleges and homes throughout the country. We owe a debt of thanks to Microsoft, who have sponsored our Child Safety handbook as part of this initiative.
 

Alex Clark, CEO of FFFC said "The Children at Risk Child Awareness Year campaign is going to be the biggest, most concentrated fundraising appeal that we have ever organised and its success will mean a major increase in our ability to support children and young adults just when they need it the most."

"We would like to thank our official publishers Vardis for their help and commitment to The Fund, and also to the many businesses who will play an integral role in this campaign."
