Charlie and I are running the Richmond half-marathon to raise money for Action around Bethlehem Children with Disabilities. It's a charity that is close to our hearts and which we have seen first-hand how funds are used to make such a positive impact to the lives of so many Palestinians in the face of incredible hardship.

Their mission is below, or to read recent updates on how the charity's money is spent, read their summer bulletin.

We believe in change

Action around Bethlehem Children with Disability is a UK-based, humanitarian charity. Our main aim is to improve the lives of children with disabilities across Palestine regardless of faith, race or gender.

To achieve our aim we provide hope and independence through high-quality child-centred care for vulnerable families including physio and speech therapy, cognitive support and the provision of specialist equipment. We work closely with local partners who provide treatment programmes to empower and educate families to continue rehab at home in a way that makes the most significant impact and improvements.

We can only continue to provide these vital services with your generous donations. Rehabilitation programmes enable children to transition into adulthood with greater confidence and minimal complications, improving their lives for the better.
