Rainforest Trust UK WISHES FOR

Three acres of rainforest protected from deforestation

£10.00



Your donation will protect on average three acres of rainforest in our most urgent carbon-rich projects, whose protection is vital in the fight against climate change.

And you will be providing a safe haven for countless animals, insects and plants, as tropical rainforests support over 50% of the world’s species, many of which are critically endangered.

The acres you save will also safely store, on average, around 500 metric tonnes of CO2e, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change around the world. 

100% of your donation goes to conservation action. 
We use Gift Aid and private donations to cover our operating costs, so you can give knowing your whole gift will protect rainforests (excluding transaction costs where applicable).



GRANT WISH
child with cancer WISHES FOR

AV1 robot to help me participate in class from hospital isolation

£6000.00



Childhood cancer is a life changing diagnosis.

It affects the child diagnosed but also their siblings, parents and their friends and teachers at school. A child with cancer faces prolonged periods of time away from school in isolation and in hospital. The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust cannot change the child’s diagnosis, but we can help to make a real difference by giving them some hope and a level of normality whilst they are fighting their illness.

Why do we need these robots?

By giving isolated children this ‘window’ to their friends and the outside world, we can help them to bridge the gap. The AV1 robot allows children in a hospital bed to interact with their classroom and their peers at the same time. Not only does this bring hope and positivity to children (and their families) affected by cancer but also to their peers who are facing the sudden disappearance of their friend. We have seen how Oscar, Lucy and Zain, who have already been given the use of our AV1 robots, have already benefitted.

 

How many children need help?

In the counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, there are approximately 75 children diagnosed with cancer every year, with around 40 being of school age. Of these school children, more than a half will need extended periods of hospitalisation or isolation during their treatment. Our aim is to be able to support these children with our AV1 machines wherever possible. Over the first three years of the project, we aim to purchase 18 new AV1 machines and support packages for these children to use. Referrals will be made directly from cancer specialist nurse teams to ensure that the children that need them are not missed.
