Hands Up Foundation

The Hands Up Foundation is an innovative charity which was set up by four British friends. United by a sense of sadness at the unfolding crisis in Syria and inspired by our time in Damascus, we want to remind our friends in Syria that they have not been forgotten. We do this by raising money and awareness for those affected by the crisis in Syria. The best bit is you can join in too! Hands Up is all about creative and positive fundraising for the projects we support in and around Syria. These projects are implemented on the ground by partner organisations and, where possible, are inside Syria and run by Syrians. Sustainability forms the basis of all the projects we choose, which is why we focus on funding salaries and long-term work in health and education. All projects we fund are monitored regularly and designed to have the maximum impact for those in need. 1. Raise money and awareness through sustainable and creative fundraising for vulnerable people in and around Syria 2. Give Syrians a choice to stay and make a living in Syria & give their children access to education 3. Raise awareness of the crisis in Syria, ensuring that the public are positively motivated to donate For more information about our fundraising initiatives: http://www.syriansupperclub.com/ http://www.singingforsyrians.com/ And to get your paws on some of our delicious MarmalAid: https://www.dalemain.com/product-category/marmalade/marmalaid/
