Of course, you will have to catch it first!

We apologise that we cannot fit any more in – but we like to ensure everyone has sufficient space on the banks to enjoy themselves. Do book early next year please. We don’t like disappointing anyone.

This Year's Ambassadors' Ball
2020-06-06 19:00 - 19:45 (Europe/London)
We are delighted to invite you to join us at The Ambassadors’ Ball this year – Saturday 6th June at 7 p.m (until 7.45 p.m) BST / UK time. Sadly this year we cannot meet at the Champagne Reception, or even on the dance floor! Instead, please join the Kids for Kids Founder and Trustees for a special “Ambassadors’ Non-Ball” via Zoom.
“Do bring a bottle and let’s have some fun, toast all that Kids for Kids has been able to do over the past year, and we will tell you about our visit to Darfur. Yes, we were able to go at last, after 9 long years: how we met my ‘little’ 9 year old, Ibrahim, who inspired me to set up Kids for Kids – not so little any more, and what we learnt about the amazing opportunities under the new government in Sudan, and all the challenges. I need your help and advice on what we are doing to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our remote villages in Darfur.
Of course this is a chance to dress up! Please put on your best Ball gown, gentlemen I am sure you have black tie or something suitable too – and let’s Have a Ball, albeit this year online.”
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday! Please do invite friends and family, including those in other countries and those who might not be able to come in other circumstances. All are welcome! Please RSVP by email to contact@kidsforkids.org.uk with the names and emails of anyone you are ‘bringing’ with you. We will then send you the Zoom Link and details for joining the Ball!
If you are not able to join us, you can find out more about our work helping families in Darfur by exploring our website – do be sure to read about our Urgent COVID-19 Soap Appeal and how you can help.
We may be locked down wherever we are…. But let’s have fun!

Who wouldn’t want to go fishing this year!
We really are fishing for goats (well, not literally!) – goats that will give their valuable milk for children who are hungry in Darfur! We need as many as we can get. The need is huge. Do join us, it’s a real treat. Park Lake is utterly beautiful, and ours for the day. The secluded lake will be stocked with rainbow trout and if you have never tasted trout straight from the water to your plate than you have no idea how delicious it is. Of course, you will have to catch it first!

Places for the Full Day and Half-day (AM or PM) sessions are now available to Book Online or by completing our Order Form. Tickets are limited to ensure everyone has enough space on the banks to really enjoy fishing as it should be enjoyed – so do book early! Enjoy an exclusive day of fly fishing on the Duke of Northumberland’s private lake in Surrey. A special day for experienced fishermen and total beginners alike! Tuition by qualified trainers (if needed) for beginners along with all tackle will be provided. Delicious refreshments as listed below will provided throughout the day.

“I hesitate to ask, but if you would like to add something extra as an additional donation it would really help. Without our events earlier this year – especially the Ambassadors’ Ball – our donations have fallen just when we are needed most, but I know life has not been easy for anyone this year.” Patricia Parker MBE Founder.
N.B. Children (minimum age 10) need to be accompanied by a fully paying adult. Because of the limit of space on the banks children also have to be full price. Sunglasses or glasses, and hats ideally with a peek, must be worn by everyone.

Arctic Wilderness Challenge, 22-26 January 2021
2021-01-22 - 2021-01-26
A once in a lifetime adventure through the pristine landscape of Swedish Lapland in the Arctic Circle!
Get set for an action-packed charity challenge in what is often described as ‘Europe’s Last Wilderness’. This Arctic Wilderness charity challenge will be a real test of your endurance, where you are in charge of food, digs and feeding your dogs. The challenge is basic with self-sufficient lodgings, unpredictable weather conditions as well as looking after your team of dogs!
It is a mix of survival techniques and learning how to live like the Saami people. Meet your companions and the Classic Challenge Tour Manager and UK Doctor that will accompany you throughout the trip in London before flying to Kiruna, the northernmost town in Sweden in the province of Lapland. You will travel by dog sled to different beautiful locations, and have a chance of seeing reindeer along the way.
The route includes a mixture of trails from tundra lowlands to high mountain areas and dense forests and frozen lakes. The first day you will travel 30-35km by dog sled, the second day a circular route of 40-45km past glacial lakes and open swamp areas, and 40-45km on the third day through snow covered mountains. Each night will be spent in wilderness base camps – and keep your eyes peeled for the famous Northern Lights! View the full itinerary here.

This is a fantastic chance to help children in Darfur, whilst taking on a totally different and extremely challenging excursion – making new friends as you face the cold weather together. Sign up solo or as a group. Group sizes range from 8-15 people, so sign up soon to get your spot!
The Registration Fee for this challenge is £299 and minimum sponsorship is £2500 for Kids for Kids. This may seem like a lot but includes: Flights to/ from Sweden, accommodation (camps, huts & lodges), transfers, full medical support, experienced guides and dog sledding team, specialist kit (leather mitts, Arctic all-in-one and Arctic boots), water and meals.
Additionally, we would be more than happy to help you come up with fundraising ideas, send you collection tins, stickers, and other Kids for Kids promotional materials that will make this goal much easier to accomplish! Our supporters often hold events as a way of raising funds instead of relying solely on sponsorship from family and friends. Why not hold a pub quiz night, silent disco, or bake sale?! Please get in touch at contact@kidsforkids.org.uk with any questions.
To learn more about this challenge and see the full itinerary visit Classic Challenge’s Website!

“I really want to thank Classic Challenge for all the help and organisation that you did for my participation in the 2017 Arctic Dog Sledding Challenge. The challenge went ahead and it turned out to be the most amazing five days!”

RotaWalk'24 - Let's Step for Sudan!
2024-04-28 09:00 - 17:00 UTC | Holmwood Common, Dorking
Join us for the next RotaWalk, organised by Rotary in Dorking which will take place on Sunday 28th April 2024, on the National Trust land of Holmwood Common, due south of Dorking.
Help us raise desperately-needed funds for the children of Darfur by raising sponsorship and challenging yourself to complete this 4 mile circular route with family and friends around the beautiful Holmwood Common. The route is a flattish, cinder-based all-weather circuit, suitable for all ages, and easily negotiated with push-chairs and mobility scooters.
Join Charlotte, Davina and friends for this lovely walk – a great chance to get some steps in, enjoy the countryside and perhaps do a bit of bird-spotting too. April 28th will be just under one year on from King Charles’ Coronation, so there will be some Royal connections to pass, as well as other interesting beauty spots!
Fancy dress outfits are actively encouraged too!

Join us on 28th April 2024
When? We will meet at 10:00am for a 10:30am start on 28th April 2024
Where? We will check in at the ‘base camp’ on the Old Cricket Pitch at North Holmwood, accessed from the National Trust Car Park on the corner of Inholms Lane, or by walking along the path from St John’s Church. The closest satnav is RH5 4JH. It will be well signposted.
En route? There will be a waystation at ‘The Viewpoint’ where we can relax, enjoy the view and sample the drinks and cake on offer – yum! There will be a further checkpoint at ‘the Twin Ponds’, the most southerly point of the walk, about half-way, also offering refreshments.
Where do we finish? We will finish at this same point to confirm we have safely completed the route.
How do I sign up?
We’re asking for a minimum donation of just £10 entry per adult walker and would love you to raise a minimum of £50 sponsorship if possible.
Children under 16 are more than welcome to join too and will be free!
Book your spot here for £10 (min. donation).
How can I raise sponsorship?
We recommend setting up an online sponsorship page with JustGiving.
Click on the link and then ‘Start Fundraising’ to set up your own JustGiving page for sponsorship – RotaWalk’24 4 Mile Fundraising Walk – in Fancy Dress! – JustGiving
Share your sponsorship page with friends and family so we can get stepping in the right direction to raise as many funds as we can this year!
Look at the Fun we had in 2021 – Come and Join us!

Fly Fishing for Emergency Funds!
2024-10-12 09:30 - 17:00 UTC | Park Lake, Albury Estate, GU5 9JA
This year’s annual Kids for Kids’ Executive Fly Fishing Day will take place at Park Lake, Albury on Saturday 12th October. Purchase your ticket now!
Every single pound profit will help us provide basic essentials to children who are in desperate need. The situation in Darfur has exacerbated an already dire situation where shortages across the country have led to many families struggling to feed their children. In Darfur, conditions were already worse than we have ever known. Emergency funding is essential to help provide for thousands of families in desperate need of food, water, shelter and medical care.
By joining us on our fishing day out this year, you can help transform the lives of families in great need. Not to mention, enjoy a magnificent day at Park Lake, which is utterly beautiful – and ours for the day! The Duke of Northumberland’s private lake provides the perfect day out for the family, or to entertain your clients – beginners and experience fisherman alike are welcome!
The secluded lake will be stocked with trout and if you have never tasted trout straight from the water to your plate then you have no idea how delicious it is. Of course, you will have to catch it first but we will provide people to help you!
Delicious refreshments will be provided throughout the day.

Ticket Options:
Full Day tickets (9.30am to dusk) @ £150 each (min. donation) to include breakfast, morning coffee & home made cakes, lunch with wine and beer, and finally afternoon tea (more home made cakes!). All drinks available throughout.
AM session only (9.30 am to 12:30pm, including lunch) @ £85 each (min. donation) to include breakfast, morning coffee & home made cakes and lunch with wine and beer. All drinks available throughout.
PM session only (12.30 pm lunch ’til dusk) @ 85 each (min. donation) to include lunch with wine and beer, and afternoon tea with home made cakes. All drinks available throughout.
The first fish you catch will be yours to keep! There will be a small charge for any additional fish you wish to take home.
“I hesitate to ask, but if you would like to add something extra as an additional donation it would really help. Out of the headlines, millions of families are displaced in Sudan, the Rapid Support Force is using fire as a means of weaponry, whole villages are being burnt to the ground. Children are on the brink of starvation. The situation is absolutely heart-breaking, and we are desperate for support so we can help families survive and re-build their lives as soon as it is safe to do so. An extra donations would really help us cover our costs and save more children’s lives – they are desperate for emergency food.“ – Patricia Parker OBE Founder.
N.B. Children (minimum age 10) need to be accompanied by a fully paying adult. Because of the limit of space on the banks children also have to be full price. Sunglasses or glasses, and hats ideally with a peak, must be worn by everyone. Health and safety is our first concern but you are advised that you fish at your own risk.

Step For Darfur this March!
2025-03-01 00:00 - 2025-03-31 23:59 UTC
You’re Invited to… Step For Darfur!
Walk 25, 50, or 100 Miles – in March 2025!
Take on our walking challenge this March to provide emergency food for starving children in the remote villages of Darfur, Sudan. Malnutrition has spread across the whole of Darfur. It is now the epicentre of the world’s worst hunger crisis, (UN General Assembly, September 2024). Together we can help.
Will you help us raise enough funds for 300 Kids Kitchen Kits this March?

Kids for Kids has beaten the odds to deliver life-saving aid to the forgotten communities of Darfur. So far we have reached 49 of our 110 villages – that is 11,276 children with essential food. Our Kids Kitchen Kits provide essential protein and nutrients – lentils, ground nuts, cooking oil, fruits, protein powder made from dried meat – and give little ones under five years old necessary sustenance.
If just 50 people ‘Step for Darfur’ and raise £150 each, we will reach our goal.
Every penny counts – no matter how little or much you can raise! One Kids Kitchen Kit costs only £25 and makes a world of difference to a child who is waking up hungry every day. By setting a ‘Step for Darfur’ Walking Goal and raising funds, we can make a massive impact!

How To Step for Darfur:

Register on JustGiving today with your Step for Darfur Walking Goal – 25, 50 or 100 miles – every mile counts this March towards more Kids Kitchen Kits! Send us a link to your JustGiving page and we will send you a free T-shirt!
Start Fundraising. Let friends and family know what an incredible challenge you are taking on and ask for their support to reach your goal. Start with a goal of £150….and then exceed it! The top three fundraisers will receive a special prize!
Step for Darfur Begins on March 1st! Put your walking shoes on and start the challenge.

Walking is More Fun with Friends!

Why not walk with your Mum or Best Friend? You can fundraise with your class at school – or get a group together at work for a morning walking club. This is a great chance to get outside, explore new areas and green spaces, and have a lot of fun with friends! Don’t forget to track your miles walked with the ‘Health’ or ‘Strava’ Apps on your phone! Make sure to take some photos and tag us @kidsforkidsdarfur on Instagram or join our Facebook group for support!
Any questions? Email us at contact@kidsforkids.org.uk.
We can help you set up your JustGiving page, provide fundraising tips, or anything else you might need. And please do invite your friends and family to get involved. We look forward to Stepping for Darfur with you this March!
Our youngest participant so far is six years old and our most inspiring is 93! You can support those already taking part in Step for Darfur below:

2025 Fly Fishing for Emergency Funds!
2025-10-11 09:30 - 17:00 UTC | Park Lake, Albury Estate, GU5 9JA
The Annual Kids for Kids’ Executive Fly Fishing Day 2025 will take place at Park Lake, Albury on Saturday 11th October. Tickets are now on sale!
The Duke of Northumberland’s private lake will be stocked with trout and if you have never tasted trout straight from the water to your plate then you have no idea how delicious it is. Of course, you will have to catch it first – but we will provide people to help you! This very special, secluded lake provides the perfect day out for the family, a chance to hang with the lads by the lake, or a fun way to entertain your out of town clients, showing them the beauty of Guildford! Delicious refreshments will be provided throughout the day from homemade cakes to lunch with wine and beer. We look forward to welcoming you all – beginners and experienced fisherman alike!
This Fly Fishing Day is one of the most special Fishing opportunities you can be part of because every penny raised in profit will help Kids for Kids provide basic essentials to children in Darfur who are in desperate need. The violence over the past 21 months has been far worse than anything we have experienced over the years. Darfur continues to face bitter conflict and the indirect effects of violence are almost worse – disease and starvation. Hunger in this century. We are providing sacks of seed for planting and Kids Kitchen Kits for families with small children which include pulses, lentils, powdered meat, ground nuts and even fresh produce. Children have been deprived of protein for months. By attending our fishing day you will enable us to reach many more families. They really need you, need us, right now.
By joining us on our fishing day out this year, you can help transform the lives of families in great need. Not to mention, enjoy a magnificent day at Park Lake, which is utterly beautiful – and ours for the day!
Your Ticket Options:
Full Day tickets (9.30am to dusk) @ £150 each (min. donation) to include breakfast, morning coffee & home made cakes, lunch with wine and beer, and finally afternoon tea (more home made cakes!). All drinks available throughout.
AM session only (9.30 am to 12:30pm, including lunch) @ £85 each (min. donation) to include breakfast, morning coffee & home made cakes and lunch with wine and beer. All drinks available throughout.
PM session only (12.30 pm lunch ’til dusk) @ 85 each (min. donation) to include lunch with wine and beer, and afternoon tea with home made cakes. All drinks available throughout.
“It is nothing short of miraculous that Kids for Kids is actively helping families in Darfur. To date 4,000 families with children aged five and under have received seeds to eat and to plant for crops – that is 24,000 people we have helped so far. Yet we must think of the coming months, not just of immediate needs. Please do put our Fly Fishing in your calendar and tell your friends – make a day of it! Your help in raising essential funds for food this year is invaluable. Thank you.” – Patricia Parker OBE Founder.
N.B. Children (minimum age 10) need to be accompanied by a fully paying adult. Because of the limit of space on the banks children also have to be full price. The first fish you catch will be yours to keep! There will be a small charge for any additional fish you wish to take home. Sunglasses or glasses and brimmed hats or caps must be worn by everyone. Health and safety is our first concern but you are advised that you fish at your own risk.
