Im running to help support Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust

So they can learn how to make healthy and cheap meals allowing them to become indepndent adults. 

Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in Africa, girls have struggled significantly in being able to access education. This has been caused by many factors, including increased childcare responsibilities and household chores, while their male peers were able to continue their studies from home. When they finish with their chores, girls’ struggle to do their homework because of the lack of sunlight and electricity. To allow girls’ to catch up, we distribute solar lamps to the most in need girls so that they can do their homework and study in the evening.

Across the food industry, tonnes of edible food products are thrown away every day. Give £25 and enable us to redistribute 100 meals worth of food to those in need.

Changes Bristol is a charity that helps people in mental health distress. We offer peer support groups, telephone befriending and a walking service. We work with over 100 volunteers who help us to run all of our support networks. A donation of £150 will cover the cost to train a volunteer facilitator. 

Changes Bristol support over 1,000 people with poor mental health and without volunteers, the charity would not be able to run. We actively consider people who have lived experience of low mental wellbeing, with extensive training and support throughout. 

Not only does volunteering with Changes offer a spring board into a support service career path, it is also an extremely rewarding opportunity to help others. 

When our young people arrive with us at YMCA Derbyshire, they often have little to no belongings. Being able to provide them with hygiene products for their first few weeks living with us is essential.

This pack will include; shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrush and paste, deoderant and period products for women.

Distance Learning is a potentially powerful tool for achieving our commitment to gender equity. With many suitably qualified female candidates from East Africa unable to study outside of their home region for family or cultural reasons, this means that applications and selected candidates for traditional UK based scholarship programmes continue to be overwhelmingly male dominated. This in turn risks perpetuating and further entrenching the status quo where females are marginalised in education. Opportunities for Distance Learning offer the possibility of overcoming this barrier to inclusivity.

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. Our alumni reached positions ranging from senior Ministers to NGO leaders, development professionals, doctors, engineers and teachers amongst others. We believe that positive change is achieved, and peaceful societies are created, when the people who have been most affected by conflict are empowered to become change-makers in their communities. 

Young people on our school, holiday activity scheme love our art projects, Your donation would be used to buy paint, brushes, paper, canvas, clay etc.
