Trek for Kids is an employee fundraising initiative from the GSK and Save the Children partnership, open to GSK employees worldwide. Trek for Kids is a bi-annual key employee fundraising and engagement activity and a key part of GSK’s support for our corporate partnership with Save the Children UK.
The third trek to take place will be in March 2021, where 40 selected GSK Trekkers will trek over 100km across Vietnam to raise money for Save the Children.
Usually the ‘Making the world Better with a Sweater’ campaign would be held in office, but given most of us will carry on working from home until the end of the year, we’ve decided that instead our 2021 trekkers will be hosting it from the comfort of your own home! Whether you pull out your most fabulous festive fit or the ugliest sweater you can find, why not support your local trekker and take part this December.
Save the Children and GSK have been working together in Vietnam since 2016, supporting mothers and their newborns in areas with insufficient healthcare services. The work has been focused in the Yen Bai province in the north west of the country, a mostly rural area.
Each GSK Trekker has committed to raise £4,500, which will be a total of £180,000 and every penny raised will be matched by GSK. Money raised will help improve the lives of children and their families in Vietnam through the Save the Children work in Vietnam.
