Im running to help support Autism Together

Forever Angels supports orphaned and abandoned babies by providing life saving formula milk at our Interim Care Home as well as to babies in the community being raised by relatives.   20 women die in childbirth every day in Tanzania, leaving behind 20 babies at risk of malnutrition and death.  We provide these babies with the necessary nutrition to keep them alive and be able to thrive.  £50 supports a baby with milk for one month - esentally saving its life.  Thank you for your kind support. 

Changes Bristol is a charity that helps people in mental health distress. We actively support almost 1,000 people, holding 10 online and 6 in-person weekly peer support groups. These groups are free, open-access and you don't need a diagnosis or GP referral to attend. A donation of £2 will cover the cost for a person to enjoy a hot drink and snack at one of our in-person meetings. 

Peer support is a regular gathering of people who have lived experience of poor mental health. These are facilitated by trained volunteers who will help to guide the meeting and allow everyone to have a chance to share and give feedback to their peers. At our meetings we help to encourage members to set goals for themselves so that they can start making small but measurable steps to becoming well again. We equip members with the tools they need to enable them to make positive changes to their lives. Regular members report increased feelings of confidence, resilience and self esteem.

We have devised these wash bags with men in mind.  We find that men are sometimes overlooked during the gifting process and we deliver these bags with men in mind.  The contents are designed to help men during hospital stays to help eliviate any worries from forgetting basic hygiene and comfort items.  

A bear to remember a child that has passed

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.

They are used normally by asylum seeking young people using our services to brush their teeth and it would be really beneficial if we had a stock of them to give to current/new yp – the same as we do with western toothbrushes for our young people who need them.

If a person who has been treated with leprosy is provided with a cow or goat, then they can sell their milk and gain a reasonable income. This independence and income is vital to help them rebuild their lives after treatment, and to sustain themselves for the future. 

Every HeroRat home is well ventilated and nicely chilled with air condition or fans during warmer weather conditions. Each home includes wood to gnaw on to help keep their teeth healthy and trimmed, as well as a water bottle infused with vitamins and minerals.

Educating girls leads to more peaceful and equitablSouth Sudan is facing a range of humanitarian emergencies from conflict to economic instability and severe food insecurity situation. Nearly 7.5 million people, including 54% children, are in need of humanitarian assistance. The impact of the pandemic with the closure of schools has eradicated all past gains made in the education sector. The number of girls enrolled in primary and secondary schools decreased by 84% when schools reopened after the national lockdown. Girls are exposed to social and economic challenges faced by their families leading to sexual exploitation through forced and early marriage and early-unintended pregnancy. The protective environment provided by the school, friends and teachers, has all been taken away from the girls by the closure of schools due to COVID-19 leaving the girls vulnerable.

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. We believe that investing in girls' education will change the world. Educating girls leads to more peaceful and equitable societies, where boys, girls, men and women can reach their true potential.e societies, where boys, girls, men and women can reach their true potential.
