Im running to help support Forever Angels

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.  

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.

Our music studio has been running since 2008, offering young people the opportunity to express themselves and learn how to write and record music. Our trained sound technitians work with young people twice weekly to explore issues that are important to them and put it into something positive and expressive.

• Over 400,000 people die from malaria every year - 67% of those deaths were children, under 5 years of age.   It is a tradgedy when malaria can be prevented so easily.  Forever Angels supports families by providing them with a mosquito net to protect them from malaria and give their children a safer childhood.  Nets costs just £8 - which literally saves lives.  Can you help us?

Our essential care packs are full of items to make a patients stay a little easier.  The contants have been thought through to try to help the patient have a more comfortable stay and hopefully eliviate any worries from forgetting basic care items. 

We have specially selected these items to help parents who have babies in special care.  We have chosen these items as they promote bonding with the baby and also can take some of the stress off of parents who will need to 'dash out' and purchase essential care items.  

Surgical intervention can prevent people who have leprosy from sustaining long-term disabilities, which as well as stopping them from earning income, can have a huge impact on both their mental health and their daily lives. 

Our professional counsellors help guide the whole family in their journey through grief. 

Sudan has a long-standing tradition of hosting refugees. For decades, it has kept its doors open to people fleeing war, hunger and hardship. Importantly, Sudan is one of the major hosting countries for refugees fleeing the deadly conflict in South Sudan. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the education gaps in the country, while the virus keeps spreading. Children are returning to school in unsafe conditions and without protection.

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 every child should have the capacity to access quality education safely, and reach their full potential.
