From cake sales, to triathlons, to trekking up the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro, this year your actions have helped us raise vital income to ensure that we can continue with our fight against poverty.
The money that you raise ensures that we can continue to send volunteers overseas to share their skills with some of the poorest communities around the world. So...... from all of us at VSO we want to say thank you!
