IRFF UK: Celebrating volunteers, Facing a crisis

www,irff-uk,org

Love in action, Mission at risk This month, we want to celebrate the people whose generosity

keeps IRFF UK moving forward – and to be honest about the

urgent moment we are facing.

Across the UK and beyond, volunteers have stepped forward with

compassion and creativity. They show us that real change does not

have to begin with large organisations, but with individuals who

choose to act.

From music to magic – many ways to help Jeff, a flutist, once played outside a church simply because he felt

moved to do so. Passersby stopped, listened and donated. Jeff has

turned music into his mission – raising funds through

performances and charity walks, flute in hand, for causes close

to his heart, including IRFF.

Peter Graham, founder of the World Cultural Association UK, has

offered his songwriting talent and musical network to help

organise a fundraising event in London. His partnership with IRFF

has previously helped find safe homes for street children in the DR

We are also very grateful to Simon Rosselli, a member of the

world-famous Magic Circle, who has volunteered to stage a

London magic show this spring with all proceeds supporting IRFF

Leadership starts early for two helpers supporting a project in South Africa

Support that reaches across borders

In Madrid, Mercedes – an experienced humanitarian and organiser

– just days ago dedicated a fundraiser to our Destiny School in

Uganda. Her support has eased significant financial pressure, and

she hopes to mobilise her wider network in the months ahead.

Mercedes: “I will share with others my love for your work in

Africa. The children need your help – and you are giving it.”

Dorothy, a leader within the Women’s Institute, has quietly

supported IRFF for over two years – giving talks, sharing our

work, and raising funds especially for our Girl Child projects. Her

consistency has been invaluable.

Young people are stepping up, too. Two UK volunteers are

planning sponsored runs this summer, while three Chinese

students recently approached us wanting to learn how they can

use their talents to help raise funds among their peers.

With deep gratitude To every volunteer, fundraiser, donor, and supporter: Thank you.

You are the heartbeat of this work.

Why we need you right now

Our charity shop, The Tricycle, is facing its most serious crisis

yet. Rising costs and falling footfall mean it can no longer support

IRFF as it once did.

At the same time, the needs we serve have not slowed. We must

continue tackling period poverty, child hunger, access to

education, clean water, and safety for girls across Africa. We

want to keep our schools open, expand literacy and nutrition

programmes, and meet growing demand from families who

depend on us.

There’s great stock at The Tricycle charity shop, just fewer visitors these days.

We are at a critical moment If our work – and the people behind it – has moved you, please

Volunteer your time. Use your talents. Fundraise in your own way.

Share our work. And if you’re unable to volunteer right now, please

make a donation today.

Your support will keep essential projects running.

Many thanks!

The IRFF UK Team

PS: The children and families we serve still need us. If you’ve been

waiting for the right moment to help – this is it.
