War Child Events
In January 2017 we organised the third edition of our annual Kili Challenge. The event saw 75 participants raise € 395,877 - € 95,000 more than our fundraising target. It proved to be the most successful edition since the 2015 launch event.
Engagement and Reach
The War Child brand is much more than a logo. The power of the War Child brand helps us engage stakeholders in support of our mission - to create a global movement in support of peaceful futures for children affected by armed conflict.
Press, Media and Reputation
The Press, Media and Reputation department is responsible for all media and press relations through managing spokespersons, initiating and coordinating press conferences, press releases, briefings, trips and media events.
Our Goodwill Ambassadors
Our network of Goodwill Ambassadors make an invaluable contribution towards our mission to create a global movement in support of conflict-affected children.
Our Volunteers
War Child exists to support children forced to with the effects of armed conflict - and our network of volunteers makes a hugely important contribution to our mission. In 2017 - like every year - we enjoyed significant support from our volunteers.
Engaging with Stakeholders
We continued to take important steps to strengthen our engagement strategy over the course of 2017. We learned more about the quality and quantity of our contacts thanks to research conducted by a trainee in econometrics.
Websites and Social Media
The audience for our websites www.warchild.nl, www.warchildholland.org and www.warchild.org - broadly held firm in 2017.
Complaints Policy
War Child strives to respond to complaints within two working days, in which we succeeded in 99 per cent of all cases. Our policy concerning complaints is available on our website.
Our People
The strategic goal of War Child’s Human Resources department is to ensure that all members of staff - as well as our large network of volunteers in the Netherlands and our countries of operation - can grow, work and learn in a safe environment.
Overview
Our core HR guidelines and procedures were strengthened over the course of 2017. Our new HR Policy was formally approved in April 2017 following an extensive internal feedback process.
