Take Action

Looking at statistics of how much we spend at Christmas scares me.  Especially when I know that while we celebrate and eat too much there are children around the world who are going to bed hungry.  Roughly 200 million children.

We would love to have you involved with the Fast4Africa! (Remember you don't have to fast, you can choose another event) 

If you would like to order or download sponsor forms all that you need to do is register as a member of the Fast4Africa team. You will also get access to other resources like statistics and stories.  It is very easy to register, first of all enter your email address and we'll send you an email to confirm your account!

Research from The Children's Mutual found that 41 per cent of toys and presents given to children at Christmas are broken by March, with children on average receiving 10 presents in addition to those provided by their parents.

Research by LloydsTSB Insurance found that the average child owns £1,720 of toys in their bedroom and 90 per cent of parents who were questioned in December 2007 said they were planning to spend up to £500 on their children at Christmas.
