Médecins Sans Frontières UK

Hi All! I'm going to be walking the South West Coast Path, from Minehead in Somerset to Poole in Dorset, starting on my 23rd birthday 04/04/26. The path is 1014km long so I'm hoping to raise a pound per km for Médecins Sans Frontières' (MSF) essential work in Gaza.

The Appeal:

MSF is an independent emergency medical aid organisation who provide relief to the victims of war, natural disasters and epidemics in more than 70 countries across the world. The money raised here will be donated to their current Gaza Emergency Appeal, which will fund the MSF's work in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon as a result of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. As of December 2025, over 70,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including 15 MSF staff. Despite the ceasefire agreement, Israel continues to lay siege to the region - much of which has been destroyed by bombardment - restricting Palestinian’s access to food, shelter and basic sanitation. Gazans are completely reliant on aid organisations such as MSF for survival in these horrific conditions. If the target of £1014 is reached this could fund the work of an MSF surgeon for 12 days, or access to antibiotics for 150 people after surgery.

MSF’s current campaign is the 2025 appeal, which will receive all of the money donated here unless a new campaign for 2026 is launched, in which case it will be donated there. In the case that neither is possible, all the money will be donated to MSF’s general campaign. If you want to find out more about MSF UK you can do so here .

The Walk:

This walk has been a goal of mine since moving from London back to Devon where I grew up. It's been a tumultuous year for me, as I know it has been for many graduates navigating the job market and big life changes, and after 6 months at home it's time for me to move away again. But, before I do, I want to experience the beautiful coastland of my home region all in one go! As a kid it was swimming, bodyboarding and sailing in Cornwall, in my teens I walked part of the path on the North Devon coast for DofE, and more recently I've enjoyed climbing on the island of Portland in Dorset. Tying all of these experiences together in this hike will mark the end of my time in the South West (at least for now), and will be a huge challenge which I look forward to! The walk should take me around 50 days to complete and I will be wild camping along the way.

Any donation would be much appreciated, even if you can only sponsor a kilometre (£1) of the hike. All funds will be donated to MSF’s lifesaving work as stated above. Also if you're free in April/May and would like to join me for a stretch of the path, get in touch!

Thanks all,

Grace :)

For Lent this year I will be doing 300km of running, walking or biking to raise money for Doctors Without Borders (Medecibs Sans Frontières UK) any donation will help towards their Gaza appeal. It is Lent and Ramadan at the same time this year and many Christian’s and Muslim’s are struggling with the war and unable to take this time to focus on these religious events. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Hi, Nick here. With my 60th birthday 'do' around the corner, I would like to ask that, rather than giving gifts, you help me to raise money for Médecins Sans Frontières.

A word from MSF -

We provide medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare. Our teams are made up of tens of thousands of health professionals, logistic and administrative staff - most of them hired locally. Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality.

Please donate to help this vital work.

For our first Common Threads party, we’re inviting everyone to donate £5 to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

MSF provides life-saving medical care in some of the most challenging places in the world, from conflict zones to areas affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises. Their teams deliver emergency treatment, vaccinations, maternal care, surgery, mental health support and so much more, regardless of politics, borders or background.

Your contribution, however small, helps MSF reach people who need urgent care and support.

If you’re joining us at the event - or even if you can’t make it but want to contribute - thank you for helping us use this gathering to give back and make a positive impact.

Thank you for supporting MSF and being part of Common Threads.

The School House team are completing a 24-hour cycling challenge to support Médecins Sans Frontières. We chose this charity because MSF provides essential medical care in crisis areas, including Gaza, where support is urgently needed. Our aim is to raise funds that directly contribute to the recovery and healthcare on the ground. By cycling for 24 hours, we hope to raise awareness and funds for their efforts. Any contribution helps strengthen the vital work MSF is doing.
