Changes Bristol is a charity that helps people in mental health distress. We offer peer support groups, telephone befriending and a walking service. We work with over 100 volunteers who help us to run all of our support networks. A donation of £150 will cover the cost to train a volunteer facilitator. 

Changes Bristol support over 1,000 people with poor mental health and without volunteers, the charity would not be able to run. We actively consider people who have lived experience of low mental wellbeing, with extensive training and support throughout. 

Not only does volunteering with Changes offer a spring board into a support service career path, it is also an extremely rewarding opportunity to help others. 

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.

£40 to buy a Buzzy for our family support packs.

Buzzy is a very cute vibrating bee with ice pack wings that decreases sharp pain.

Buzzy®uses natural pain relief by confusing your body's own nerves, thereby dulling or eliminating sharp pain. In the same way that rubbing a bumped elbow helps stop the hurt, or cool running water soothes a burn, Buzzy® bypasses sharp pain. In an emergency department, nurses and doctors can get too busy to wait for numbing creams for needle procedures. For newly diagnosed diabetic children, the medical community has a history of expecting kids to just get used to needle pain. For shots, for bee stings, for boo-boos, for injected medicines, for all acute pain management, Dr. Amy Baxter and her team developed Buzzy® to put instant pain management in YOUR hands.

Be Well Collective provides monthly workshops which unite young people as a part of the Be Well community. Lead by an expert health professional, who provides an educational workshop to teach practical tools and skills to young people to help improve their mental health and wellbeing.

Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps, located in an arid environment in the northern part of Kenya, are host to over 508,033 refugees and asylum seekers, from which more than the half are children. The camps are located in the north-western region of the country, which has the highest levels of poverty and lowest performance indicators relating to access to quality educational opportunities. 84% of the population in Turkana County, and 73% of the population of Garissa County, lives below the poverty line. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in the country, schools are closing at each pick outbreak and children do not have tools to follow home-learning. With the provision of solar radio, secondary school children will be able to follow live classes all year long.

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. Windle International Kenya manages secondary schools in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps as the lead implementing partner of the UN refugee agency, and runs a range of quality educational programmes and scholarships aimed at improving the educational outcomes and ultimately contributing to the creation of peaceful and durable communities.
