We're a non-profit organisation, and we exist to raise funds and awareness for charities all over the world. 

Our mission is to create a world that is fair, equal and sustainable.

Advent of Change was created by Kristina Salceanu in 2018, alongside a full time job as a fundraising initiative for friends and family. 

Quickly it caught the attention of many others and in our first year £100,000 was raised for 24 charities.
