Im running to help support Dame Emily Park Project

Your donation will cover the costs involved in setting up a new cafe or restaurant to be part of the BillyChip®️ scheme.

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.

Childhood cancer is the most common medical cause of death of children in the UK. Every year, just under 4,000 children and young adults receive this life changing diagnosis. The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust is working to raise awareness of childhood cancer and the signs and symptoms with which it may present. We produce educational resources for parents and clinicians, provide support to families and fund research into rare cancers of childhood. The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust was founded in memory of 4 year old Grace Kelly who passed away in 2014. The vision of the Trust was born from the inspiration that Grace imparted on the people she met. Grace was a compassionate and caring little girl, who looked after others before herself. We are making a difference to other children whilst fulfilling Grace's wish of helping others. Because The Children Of Today All Deserve A Tomorrow

Little ones expecting a baby to arrive home and then not understanding why this hasn’t happened may struggle with their emotions, school and everyday life. We want to help relieve the stresses of dealing with this alongside your loss and therefore have developed a Play Therapy Service for our families.

Play therapy is a therapeutic approach developed to help children between the ages of three to twelve years old.

Our therapists work with a child to explore and resolve any issues around the loss of their sibling through the therapeutic use of play. This involves using toys, drawings, story telling and other creative tools in order to help heal the child in a positive and creative way.

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.

Our hard-working volunteers who sort, package and dispatch our stock to UK hospitals are powered by tea and biscuits. Please help them keep running!

We have been really busy at our new skate school project called The Boarding School, and it's great to be welcoming young people back into the youth centre. We would really like to add to the equipment we have on offer and this donation would enable us to purchase a new Grind Rail! What is it? It's similar to a handrail but much lower to the ground and specifically designed to be skate-able. Made of heavy duty box steel, the rail will be custom made to fit in the skate school and provide endless hours of fun and help young people learn new tricks.

The rail will be dedicated in your name if you wish, or with a personalised message of your choosing.
