Contact us on 01733 319777 or admin@ictinfo.org.uk if you would like to take one of our places. We will help you set up a fundraising page online so your family, friends and colleagues can donate their support whilst you train. Or we will send you pledge forms so you can collect your support promises direct. Its entirely up to you. We will meet you on the day and cheer you on, take photos and feature you in our newsletters.

Since first working with youngsters traumatised by the Yugoslav wars in the 1990's, the responsibility to look after vulnerable and defenceless children affected by conflict, abuse, prejudice and poverty, has been a cause close to her heart. And so, despite a busy working life, she is squeezing in her training early in the morning and on weekends and would very much appreciate your support.

]]>The International Day was a trans - globe celebration: by street children in Morocco, Uganda, Ethiopia, Guatemala and India; school children in the UK; students in Ireland; the Consortium for Street Children and its 60 members in over 130 countries; Aviva in the 28 countries in which it operates; and politicians in Tanzania and the UK.
The International Day for Street Children highlights that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out every child’s right to protection, participation, provision and prevention from harm. It is a universally recognised standard that all children should have these rights realised; however many government policies and practices still do not include street children.
The International Day is supported by Aviva, the world’s sixth largest insurance group, as part of their global Street to School programme which aims to help 500,000 street children get back into education or training over the next five years.
