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 bags to lift ladies when they are going through cancer treatment.  We all know the effects of cancer treatment and how some people find that they loose identity when they are recieving it.  These little packs are given to ladies undergoing current treatment for cancers to help lift spirits where needed.

The people we support love to take part in art activities of all sorts and we regularly go through lots of supplies. It would be great if you could support us in purchasing some extra equipment; things like paint, pens, pencils, easels, canvses, clay, tools etc. 

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.

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.

Mentoring Young Creatives is a programme that matches a vulnerable young person with a well suited, experienced mentor to help support and guide them. Mentoring can help to reduce the rates of mental health issues by providing access to support with a like minded individual, helping young people to feel less alone in their mental health struggles.
