WOW Individuals

Whether you’re a caring kid, creative teenager, yummy mummy, lovely lorry driver or glamorous grandparent we’d love you to get stuck in and take part in our ‘wear something WOW’ campaign!

It’s really easy, promises to be a lot of fun, and most importantly, it’s going to make a big difference to the lives of vulnerable children around the world.

For a suggested donation of £1 or whatever you can afford, we would like you to tweak your outfit for a day, to prompt a smile, raise an eyebrow, or provoke a second look!

Getting started

Simply register to take part and receive your free fundraising pack and then spread the word about World Orphan Week to everyone you know. Our WOW pack is full over great tips, stickers and posters.

Choose a day or evening to ‘wear something WOW’, call your friends, send out invitations or let everyone know about it on Facebook, MySpace. Then all that’s left to do is pick out your WOW outfit!
