What SSSK does
SSSK was founded by two students. We aim to make people aware about the issues affecting street connected children. This involves trying to change the systems that perpetuate poverty and exclusion. We raise money for local projects which help such children realise their potential. Our branches are run by students, and ALL monies raised or donated go to street child NGOs.
SSSK News
Like everyone else, we have been affected by the virus, though we hope that branches will be able to continue to raise funds for our NGOs. We have registered with Golden Giving to replace BTmydonate as our main platform for collecting donations. Use the link and input SSSK to the Search box. Members can register fundraising events, so that sponsors have a simple method for donating. Please let us know how easy you find it to set up and use a fundraising page by contacting treasurer@sssk.org.uk .
