Host an Event for Syria (H.E.S.) has been initiated as a crowdfunding initiative to kick-start lots of smaller fundraising events and to jointly create large-scale support for the vital cause Hand in Hand for Syria.

Where do you come in? 

You too can host an event, by sharing your talents. Not only do you contribute a good cause, you also get people together in a social setting while doing something fun and worthwhile. How?

1. Initiate ... an idea
2. Create  ... an event
3. Donate ... and watch our contributions grow!

Everything is possible, a potluck lunch, a kids craft workshop, an organised hike, a movie night, a cooking class, a rugby night...the ideas are endless!! 

The event can be either public or private; we can help promote your event on www.facebook.com/hostaneventforsyria. Just sent us a message with when, what, where.

How does this raise money?

Simply by asking your visitors for a participation (donation) fee. After the event you donate the proceeds to H.E.S. by using the DONATE button on this page; all of the proceeds automatically are sent directly to Hand in Hand for Syria.

Why Hand in Hand for Syria?

Hand in Hand for Syria, who’s founders are either born in the UK of Syrian parentage or are Syrians living in Britain, is actually working INSIDE Syria where most other NGO’s can not work. With high risks involved their team is spread over Syria, taking an indispensable range of humanitarian aid directly where so many Syrian citizens are in desperate need of help.

Share your event and follow us on Facebook

By sharing your story, we can inspire each-other, spread the word and generate more events: put fun into fundraising!

The people behind H.E.S.

Jacqueline Veen: "instead of only talking I felt the urge of actually DOING something. In this way we offer a platform for everybody to help" 

Iris Schoonus: "I am inspired to contribute to this cause as it activates people to make a difference by using their own talents"

Sanne Ossewaarde: "this way of fundraising contributes to the awareness of children about the tragic situation of refugees"

Angela Eggerton: "organising something simple for a gathering of friends and asking a small donation fee from them is so easy to do, anyone can do it. However the difference it can make if we all do a little is huge. Please support our organisation, HES, in 2016"
