Heart Heroes work with children and their families living with heart conditions. We aim to provide services for these children, to help them meet others who are in similar situations and allow their family to talk to other families going through related experiences. At Heart Heroes we: Support children with heart diseases aged 0 – 16. Organise events and provide socialising opportunities for children to attend. We aim to introduce families with similar experiences so that they can support each other.

Cherished Gowns UK is a charity that provides the families of babies that are stillborn, miscarried or pass away shortly after birth with items of clothing that they are able to be dressed in for their funeral. We offer five sizes of Cherished Gowns, and each gown is accompanied by a hat, pair of booties, a blanket and a cloth nappy. These items are provided completely free of charge to parents, funeral directors, and we also supply every UK hospital with this service. All of the items that we provide are lovingly made by volunteers around the UK, from donated Wedding Dresses.

Distance Learning is a potentially powerful tool for achieving our commitment to gender equity. With many suitably qualified female candidates from East Africa unable to study outside of their home region for family or cultural reasons, this means that applications and selected candidates for traditional UK based scholarship programmes continue to be overwhelmingly male dominated. This in turn risks perpetuating and further entrenching the status quo where females are marginalised in education. Opportunities for Distance Learning offer the possibility of overcoming this barrier to inclusivity.

Windle International empowers people to make lasting change in their own lives, in their communities and in wider society. We do this by creating access to quality education and training across East Africa and the Horn of Africa for refugees, communities affected by conflict, and those who have been marginalised in society. Our alumni reached positions ranging from senior Ministers to NGO leaders, development professionals, doctors, engineers and teachers amongst others. We believe that positive change is achieved, and peaceful societies are created, when the people who have been most affected by conflict are empowered to become change-makers in their communities. 

We provide large A4 bespoke, personalised, Memory boxes of exceptional quality to help bereaved children remember someone who has died. When you lose a child there is often very little support for the bereaved sibling. The Memory boxes are a very simple, but effective way of helping a sibling remember their brother or sister and preserve their very precious and personal memories. The Child has full control over the design process and choosesa background theme and colour for their memory boxes. The photos are also chosen by the children and when the design has been aproved by the child it is digitally printed and heat sealed onto the Memory box. The designing of the Memory boxes is often used as a therapy by many bereavement services across the UK and every child in the family designs and receives their own Memory box so that the box belongs to them and only them.

​We do not charge for our service as we are fully self funded.

​Please note: Our large A4 wooden Memory boxes and bears are only supplied  to bereaved children under the age of 25yrs.. 

​Our Memory Boxes are supplied to families through bereavement service referrals; we do not sell boxes directly.

During the warmer days, the people we support love to be outside with a variety of activities. We would love to get this portable Badminton set so they can set it up and play with staff and others as a fun activity. 

A bear to remember a child that has passed

The people we support love to take part in art activities of all sorts and we regularly go through lots of supplies. It would be great if you could support us in purchasing some extra equipment; things like paint, pens, pencils, easels, canvses, clay, tools etc.
