The Children's Society

The Children's Society was established in 1881 when Sunday school teacher Edward Rudolf found two of his pupils begging for food on London's streets. Rudolf was a pioneer and wanted to do things differently. He didn't like the large, institutional children's homes of the day and so set up a model children's home, offering vulnerable children a smaller, more caring alternative.

Today, the Children's Society is a leading children's charity committed to making childhood better for all children in the UK. They take action to prevent, rescue and support children facing life trapped in a vicious circle of fear and harm; a vicious circle driven by violence, neglect, poverty and discrimination.

They do this by organising charity events, around the country, to raise money in aid of these children. The London event is the jewel in the crown of The Children's Society's fundraising events. All three of the walking adventures centre around the River Thames, from Parliament in the West to Tower Bridge in the East, encompassing some of the capital’s greatest sights, from major landmarks to lesser-known treasures.

Sarova Hotels will be participating in this sponsored event on the 12th September, to raise money in aid of The Children's Society and we would like to ask you to support us in our endeavour. For more information, click on the image below.
