This October, Penny Appeal will be launching our inaugural deployment programme allowing donors to see first-hand the life-changing impact on the ground in underprivileged areas.
Our first international trip will take place in Lebanon, where participants will be given a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the work that goes into making sure the humanitarian needs of our beneficiaries are looked after.
You will be able to personally deliver critical, life-saving food, water and medicine to those in desperate need of support. On top of this, you will also experience poverty within remote communities in Lebanon, inspiring change upon your return to the UK.
The opportunities do not stop there! As well as developing compassion for those who lack the needs to survive, you will gain an insight to how we – a NGO – operate. Working with your fellow participants, you can put your existing skills to the test in poverty-stricken areas.
Become part of the Team Orange Family this October, and ‘Follow your Penny’ straight to the frontline in Lebanon.
We have just eight spaces available for this first deployment. Each participant will be required to fundraise a minimum of £5,000 to take part.
This will include airfare, accommodation and catering while on the trip.
Registration fee: £200.00 Minimum sponsorship: £5,000.00
