The Independent's Christmas appeal

The Independent is working with UNICEF this year to help rebuild the lives of some of the most damaged children on the planet – child soldiers, forced to murder friends, family and strangers alike before they even reach their teens.  

All the money raised in this appeal will support UNICEF’s work to help children rescued from armed groups in the Central African Republic, providing immediate care and protection as well as supporting longer term projects that help children recover, be reunited with their families and have a better childhood. CLICK HERE TO DONATE NOW

The IoS Appeal

The Independent on Sunday Christmas Appeal is for the national domestic violence charity Refuge. £30 can enable an independent domestic violence advocate to work with a woman to create a plan to keep her safe. £100 can fund a local support group session for ten women who have experienced domestic violence.
