Each year over 100 people from the UK decide to spend a day visiting the child they sponsor, which Plan helps to arrange. Read their stories.
A visit is a wonderful opportunity for you to see first hand how sponsorship contributions are making a real difference to your sponsored child's community. Meeting the child you sponsor is a fantastic experience for both you and their community. It can be a huge boost to community morale and leave you and your sponsored child with memories that will last a lifetime.
Plan staff are always pleased to host visits from sponsors and it is an exciting event for everyone, especially the child you sponsor and their familiy. You will make them very proud.
How to arrange a visit in four easy steps
Step 1 - Fill in the 'Sponsor Visit Request and the Visit Agreement' forms - All visits to sponsored children must be arranged through our office. We can arrange a one-day visit to meet the child you sponsor and their family. We require you to complete the Visit Request and the Visit Agreement forms - and each of your guests to complete a Visit Agreement form. Please return the forms to us at:
Plan UK Finsgate 5-7 Cranwood Street London EC1V 9LH
Step 2 - Request your 'Criminal Records Bureau' (CRB) check. We also require visitors over the age of 18 to obtain a background check from the Criminal Records Bureau. In line with our child protection policy, we need to know about any convictions for offences against children or that may endanger the family or community. This must be applied for 2-3 months before your visit, and it must not be older than 6 months at the time you visit.
