Im running to help support The Brain Charity

All the lock-downs in the UK has left many young people feeling bored, isolated and struggling to cope. We have been distributing our outreach activity packs to help make things a little better for young people and show them they are valued in our community. We've handed out over 60 packs and each week there's a different theme and content; From Movie nights, Pamper packs, Graffiti art and cookery, we provide everything thats needed in a little brown bag for young people to take away and do at home.

These bottles have a much smaller teat with a smaller hole, which stops the milk from flowing too fast and flooding the mouths of the very little cardiac babies, giving them a bit more time to try and sort out their suck and swallow. 

Your donation will protect on average seven acres of rainforest in our most urgent carbon-rich projects, whose protection is vital in the fight against climate change.

And you will be providing a safe haven for countless animals, insects and plants, as tropical rainforests support over 50% of the world’s species, many of which are critically endangered.

The acres you save will also safely store, on average, over 1,000 metric tonnes of CO2e, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change around the world. 

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.

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.

Your donation will go towards the costs of providing tuition to a child who uses English as an additional language living in Bristol or Oxford. This includes recruiting and training a volunteer tutor, providing teaching resources and access to an online learning platform.

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.

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.
