Let Them Learn

Every child deserves the chance to learn

Today, more than 250 million children worldwide are missing out on education— hindering their opportunity to build a brighter future. Education is a human right and a pathway to hope and possibility.

We’re launching our end-of-year 'Let Them Learn' appeal and have partnered with 19 charities to help change this reality. Please get involved by volunteering, fundraising, or donating to this important cause. We will be donating £250,000 to our chosen charities globally, and we will match your contributions too. Our collective action can help children realise their full potential.

Donate, fundraise or volunteer

Donate via the charity appeal pages below, or via your Charities Aid Foundation account. Send us proof of your donation to have it matched.
