GRANT WISH
A Kenyan school WISHES FOR

40 fruit and nut trees so their students can benefit from the commodities, the shade and protection and help reforestation in Kenya.

£100.00



Word Forest works with unsupported schools in Coastal Province, Kenya to build safe, cool classrooms, providing educational spaces for the children and for the community too. For every classroom we build we plant 4,000 fruit and nut trees around the school compound. 

The gift of the cropping food forest aims to instil a sense of responsibility in the school children, and nurture their spirit of care.

This legacy planting programme will give classroom students nutritious meals, as well as give everyone shade and protection from the weather, help reduce damage from flooding, provide safe habitats for wildlife, clean the air and combat climate change.

Your donation will help us reforest Kenya with extra fruit and trees for the schools we work with. Thank you.



GRANT WISH
Homeless person WISHES FOR

10 hot or cold takeaway drinks

£20.00



Your donation will pay for 10 BillyChips, which can be redeemed for food and drink at any participating outlet.

BillyChip®️ Foundation registered charity 1188779 was set up in 2018 to continue the legacy of Billy Abernethy-Hope a twenty-year-old ambulance driver from Bristol who was the inspiration and idea behind the BillyChip®️. After helping support the homeless at Christmas, Billy felt disheartened at how little support the general public gave to local homeless people. Many people donate to charity on a regular basis but Billy was surprised what a small percentage of donations were given directly to people living rough on our streets. Turns out most people are apprehensive to give money directly to homeless people because it's not possible to know how a donation is spent.

Unfortunately, the common perception is the money will be used for alcohol, drugs or cigarettes. Even if a donation of food or drink is given to safeguard your donation, it is very awkward as people have to make assumptions of what the person would like and when. The alternative is to engage with that person, ask the question and purchase what’s required which many feel uncomfortable doing. Billy recognized that the likelihood of someone having the time, inclination, courage, and kindness to engage with a homeless person to buy them food or drink was too big a challenge. That was the eureka moment when he first thought up the concept of the BillyChip®️. Sadly Billy never got to launch the BillyChip as planned due to his untimely death whilst backpacking in Thailand.

 



GRANT WISH
Young Carer WISHES FOR

a creative care package for someone living in isolation 

£10.00



Your donation would provide a care package for someone living in isolation due to caring responsibilities and perhaps can’t get to a art group

Dover smART Project was founded in 2013 to provide opportunities for disadvantaged children in Dover to take part in a wide range of creative activities and experiences to boost their confidence, enhance their well-being, raise their aspirations and widen their outlook on the world. The charity soon evolved and began similar work with other groups, such as the people without a home and hospice patients, using art and creativity to support their various needs.



GRANT WISH
A bereaved family member affected by a Covid Loss WISHES FOR

professional trauma and loss counselling

£40.00



During the present Covid crisis we have extended our objectives to include services for those who have lost during the coronavirus pandemic.  

When the Covid – 19 crisis began to emerge we grew very concerned that families who lost during this time would have not had the “non World” bereavement experience and reflected on how this would be affecting those concerned and their mental health. To lose a loved one and not be able to visit them in their last moments, see them after they had died and at times not been able to attend their funerals leaves a huge gap and perhaps lack of acceptance and form of reality and this would have effects on a person’s emotional well-being. With that in mind we began the process to adapt to the current crisis and try to help.



GRANT WISH
A whole remote village in Darfur, Sudan WISHES FOR

a new handpump to provide water for the community

£6500.00



Water is the gift of life. Children and families often have to walk barefoot for miles in the hot desert sun to reach their nearest water supply.

Can you imagine what they have to go through for every drop of water?

Instead of walking for hours in the scorching heat every day for water, children can go to school and mothers can work to earn an income for the family - just by having a handpump in their village.

In some villages, people have even managed to grow vegetables for the first time.



GRANT WISH

A sensory box to entertain me whilst in hospital

£25.00



A sensory box to aid sensory play, Contains a touchy feely book, ribbons, spikey ball, foil blanket, bells and feathers.

At Heart Heroes we: Support children with heart diseases aged 0 – 16. Organise events and provide socialising opportunities for children to attend.
