Adopt-A-Minefield
Adopt-A-Minefield is a United Kingdom-based charity which raises awareness about landmines and their associated problems, and raises funds to clear minefields and help survivors of landmine accidents. It has raised over US$17 million (approximately £9.5 million) since it was established in the 1990s, enabling it to clear minefields in 126 villages in Afghanistan, Angola, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cambodia, Croatia, Iraq, Laos, Mozambique and Vietnam. No More Landmines was a partner organization. However, according to current records of the UK Charity Commission, The No More Landmines Trust Number 1110770 which has the working name of Adopt-A-Minefield was registered with them on 8 August 2008 and was removed on 20 January 2015 and marked as Ceased to Exist. There is no active website for either named organisation although there is information on line of many organisations that remove mines. In 2006 Heather Mills, the ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney, pledged to give a "large majority" of her £24.3 million divorce payment to the Adopt-A-Minefield organization. No donation had been made as of September 2008. Adopt-A-Minefield was established by UNA Trust, a body associated with the United Nations Association UK. Mills and McCartney are its patrons. Other supporters include Twiggy and David Knopfler. Gala fund-raising
