PAPYRUS is the national charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide.

What We Know

Our Vision 
Our vision is for a society which speaks openly about suicide and has the resources to help young people who may have suicidal thoughts.

Our Mission 
We exist to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives by shattering the stigma around suicide and equipping young people and their communities with the skills to recognise and respond to suicidal behaviour.

League Against Cruel Sports (LACS)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1095234
SC Regulator (OSCR) — Charity Number: SC045533

Hurting and killing animals for ‘sport’ is one of the principal causes of animal cruelty in the UK: tens of millions of animals suffer and die each year for ‘leisure’ activities. We are here to protect those animals.

Most people today would agree that deliberately hurting or killing an animal for leisure is plain wrong. So you would probably think 'bloodsports' have now disappeared from Britain.

Sadly you would be mistaken.

Cruel sports are all around us – we just have to open our eyes.

Antibiotic Research UK (ANTRUK)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1157884

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is on the rise globally, threatening modern medicine as we know it. 
Resistance to antibiotics arises when natural bacteria in our body are no longer affected by the antibiotics we use. The resulting antibiotic-resistant infection can be fatal. Nearly every medical procedure, from cancer treatment and organ transplantation to hip or joint replacement, is dependent on effective antibiotics (see how procedures would be affected).

This impending disaster is why our charity needs to be successful. If we don’t act now, the antibiotic era will pass, and our children and grandchildren will fail to have the benefits of antibiotics that current generations have enjoyed.
Read our latest news

Who we are 
Antibiotic Research UK (ANTRUK) (ANTRUK) was founded in 2014 to tackle antibiotic resistance. We are a ‘virtual’ charity, which means we don’t have a central office. This allows us to spend more of your donation on research into new antibiotics, rather than paying overheads, and allows world-class experts to be an integral part of our work, wherever they are based.

Fighting antibiotic resistance, today and tomorrow 
ANTRUK aims to raise sufficient funds over the next five years to bring at least one new antibiotic treatment to market by the early 2020’s. The research we fund will be carried out by universities and businesses in the UK and overseen by the antibiotic-resistance experts that make up our Science Committee.

We also aim to provide public and professional education and information for patients.

Adventure Aid
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1143306

We create adventures which bring people together from different walks of life in a common goal to help small children charities across Asia and Africa and in doing so changing their lives forever.

We only do life changing trips to our projects in Nepal, India, Tanzania, Sumatra or Mauritius.

Founded by Ashley Platen-Mills in 2010, the first adventure was in a 1995 Land Rover Discovery V6 from Wimborne in Dorset to Dushanbe in the Land of the Tajiks. The second hand vehicle which was destined to fail never even got a puncture. The team travelled through 16 countries, across the Georgian mountains, Caspian sea, Turkmenistan desert, the fuel starved Uzbekistan, through the Anzob Tunnel and along the Afghanistan border to The Sworde Teppa Education Centre in Querghon Teppa in Tajikistan! Ashley and his team had accumulated the support of over 60 sponsors in the six month marketing build up to the event and received camping equipment, vehicle parts and GPS equipment.

The journey turned into a epiphany and on his return Ashley decided to develop the charity to share his experiences with like-minded individuals looking for adventure and in developing long term partnerships with small children’s charities across Asia and Africa and thus Adventure Aid was born.

Galgos del Sol (GDS)

UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1158983
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 46-3856985

GDS rescues, cares, rehabilitates and rehomes hundreds of abandoned Galgo and Podencos dogs, amongst others, each year.

Rescuing galgos is a challenging, unpredictable and often dangerous undertaking. An abandoned galgo that has been living rough may have to be observed and coaxed with food for weeks and sometimes months before it will allow a human near. GDS has rescued galgos that have

been thrown into wells, lain injured in fields, tossed into dumpsters, run scared in traffic, given birth on a roadside and left to die in abandoned breeding camps. A galgo sighting may occur at anytime so GDS is perpetually on call.

Thanks to the generosity and support of our donors the Galgos del Sol Education and Rescue Centre is fully functional and growing!

American Fund For Charities
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 52-2109597

The American Fund for Charities was founded in 1997 to meet an emerging need in global philanthropy. For many non-profits outside the USA, one way to receive charitable donations from Americans is to establish a non-profit “Friends of. . .” partner organization in the USA. These partner organizations facilitate support of the overseas organization by providing American donors with tax-deductions for their gifts.

Because establishing a non-profit organization is time-consuming and costly, the American Fund was created to enable tax-deductible charitable giving to foreign non-profits that do not have their own “American Friends” organizations in the USA.

Our Mission
To connect people with great causes worldwide.

Our Vision
The American Fund for Charities seeks positive change around the world through support of non-profit organizations dedicated to social, cultural, and environmental initiatives.

Snow-Camp
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1101030
SC Regulator (OSCR) — Charity Number: SC043344

Who We Support
Snow-Camp work with a range of young people, aged 13-21, across the UK.
We work directly with youth projects and youth service providers to ensure that we are working with those who are most in need of our support. The young might be failing in school, or have dropped out altogether, they might have committed juvenile crimes and now struggle to find employment or they’re on a negative life-path and need support to change their direction. They could also, simply, just need someone to believe in them.

Our Programme Journey
Motivating young people to fully engage is the key to successful youth work and the young people we work with are traditionally hard to engage. However, we have found that snowsports are incredibly attractive to inner-city young people, despite being out-of-reach for many. The opportunity to participate in snowsports acts as the tool with which we can effectively engage young people and maintain a positive involvement with them.

Buddy Bag Foundation (BBF)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1164916

We have created the Buddy Bag Foundation in response to the rising number of children who enter emergency care after fleeing violent situations at home.

To support children in this situation we have created the Buddy Bag to provide comfort when all else has been removed.

Beckley Foundation
SC Regulator (OSCR) — Charity Number: SC033546

Since its creation by Amanda Feilding in 1998, the Beckley Foundation has been at the forefront of global drug policy reform and scientific research into psychoactive substances. We collaborate with leading scientific and political institutions worldwide to design and develop ground-breaking research and global policy initiatives.

The Beckley Foundation’s purpose is two-fold:

1. To scientifically investigate the effects of psychoactive substances on the brain and consciousness in order to harness their potential benefits and minimise their potential harms; learn more about consciousness and brain function; and discover and explore new avenues for the treatment of illnesses.
2. To achieve evidence-based changes in global drug policies in order to reduce the harms brought about by the unintended negative consequences of current drug policies; and develop improved policies based on health, harm reduction, cost-effectiveness, and human rights.

Scientific Programme
Through the Scientific Programme – led by Amanda – we collaborate with leading experts and institutions to design, initiate, and direct scientific research projects, including clinical trials. The studies focus on cannabis, MDMA, and psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT), and explore how these substances act upon the human brain, using the latest developments in neuroscience and brain imaging technology. The purpose of the research is to increase our scientific understanding of consciousness itself, and to explore new avenues for treatment and well-being.

Policy Programme
Through the Policy Programme, we collaborate with a network of political leaders and drug policy analysts to develop evidence-based global drug policies. Our policy initiatives open up discussion on taboo issues surrounding the complex subject of drug policy, and they explore new regulatory models which aim to reduce the disastrous collateral harms caused by the policies of prohibition.

Kids for Kids adopts remote villages in Darfur, where children are living in intolerable poverty. Our holistic programme of projects is tailored to each village, with input from the villagers themselves. We empower local people, training them to run the projects for themselves and their community, so they can raise their families out of poverty long-term, and give their children hope of a better future.

What We Do:
Water is desperately needed in Darfur, and children are walking miles each day for every drop.
We provide handpumps for water so that villagers can access one of the largest aquifers in Africa which is right underneath Darfur.

We provide goats on loan. These little creatures literally work miracles in Darfur, helping to stop starvation in its tracks and giving families hope for the future. During a two year loan period the loaned goat is mated to produce Kids, the loaned goat is then loaned out to another family to repeat the process. Of the Kids produced, when they produce Kids, they must be moved on and loaned out and so on. An utterly sustainable project so long as water is available. Water is the key, the glue that binds it all together.

We also help with Midwives & Healthcare, Education & Kindergartens, Animal Care, trees & Agriculture.

Serious Fun Childrens Network (SFCN)
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 31-1794455

This is SeriousFun
Our mission is to create opportunities for children and their families to reach beyond serious illness and discover joy, confidence and a new world of possibilities, always free of charge.

Good Old-Fashioned, Confidence-Building Fun.
Our programs are more than just fun. They're purposefully designed to foster independence, resilience and personal growth, helping children to see beyond the limits of their medical conditions and experience all that life has to offer.

We're where the fun is.
Truly a global network, we reach beyond borders and beyond the limitations of illness.

How the Fun Began
Almost three decades ago, actor, Paul Newman started a free camp where kids could escape the fear and isolation of their medical conditions and, in his words, "raise a little hell." This remarkable concept sparked a quiet movement, and that one camp launched a global network. That single camp started in 1988 in Ashford, CT and is known as The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.
Today, there are 30 camps and programs serving the needs of children and families around the world in a fun, safe environment for children of all circumstances and backgrounds with serious illnesses. 

This history of fun making has had life-changing impact.
Our camps are more than just fun — they're life changing. The moments created at camp have improved self-esteem, social skills and more. It's true. SeriousFun makes a difference!

Starlight Childrens Foundation (SCF)

Who we are
Starlight Children’s Foundation is a national children’s charity that is dedicated to brightening the lives of children and teenagers suffering from a serious or terminal illness.

We have been working for over 30 years to support sick children and their families because we know the difference happiness and laughter can make during times when it feels like there’s not much to look forward to.

Unseen UK
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1127620

At Unseen we are working towards a world without slavery.

It’s a big aim and a big task, but we believe we can do it. By concentrating our efforts on three main areas - supporting, equipping and influencing - we can start to tackle the issue in a way that really works.

Our specialist care is the first step in the fight against slavery. Through supporting survivors, our provision gives them a safe place to recover from trauma and rebuild their lives.

Our practices are researched thoroughly, enabling us to identify the key issues surrounding slavery and exploitation, and equipping ourselves and others with effective, targeted solutions.

We also recognise the importance of influencing the systems that keep slavery hidden. Tackling issues such as supply and demand are vital if we are going to eradicate slavery.

We hope that one day our work is no longer needed. That by working in partnership with communities, business, governments and other organisations we can stamp out slavery for good. But while there are victims of trafficking, we want to be here to offer them the safety, hope and choice they deserve.

Deptherapy
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1166310

Our Aim: 
“To promote the rehabilitation of British Armed Forces personnel & Veterans, who have suffered life changing mental or physical injuries, through the medium of scuba diving and as the charity develops to extend this to the UK blue light services and disabled people generally.”

Our primary aim is to support and help injured current and ex-serving members of the British Armed Forces. We work with those who are suffering from life changing mental and physical challenges.

Those with physical injuries who have been on our programmes reported that the weightlessness that scuba diving provides allows them to be pain free. For many the first time since their injury. For those with PTSD it provides a calming environment as one programme member describes the aquatic realm, “When I put my head under the water the demons disappear.”

Through Deptherapy Education we provide training and advice to dive professionals and dive organisations as to how to adapt scuba diving skills so that those with disabilities might qualify as scuba divers.

The Lemon Tree Trust (LTT) supported by Prism the Gift Fund
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1099682

The Lemon Tree Trust (LTT) is a not-for-profit organization registered in the United Kingdom, active since 2014 in supporting capacity building, development, and advocacy for greening innovation and urban agriculture within contexts of forced migration. In short, this means we work on the ground in crisis situations such as refugee camps, developing primary food production to aid food security. We are the international arm and affiliate to the U.S. based organization, Citizen D, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Dallas, Texas. Citizen D has been developing projects centered on urban agriculture in the Dallas area which are citizen driven, amongst marginalized communities such as resettled refugees.

At Lemon Tree Trust, we believe that urban agriculture—the tangible manifestation of ecology, greening and cultivation—creates new and unrealized value to achieve dignity, empowerment and sovereignty for those living in under-resourced communities, such as refugee camps.

Our Goals:

• To mainstream urban agriculture and greening innovation at the point of crisis for forced migrants
• To encourage the development of urban agriculture within refugee camps through gardening and farming
• To offer environmentally sound options for economic development and livelihood strategies within the camps
• To help make findings around agricultural solutions in forced displacement available to all stakeholders

Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 802047
SC Regulator (OSCR) — Charity Number: SC040717

Ronald McDonald Houses enable families to maintain a degree of normal life while their child is undergoing medical treatment in partnered specialist children's hospitals across the UK.

We give our families a warm and welcoming environment within which they can stay for as long as they need – be it a matter of days, months or even years. Our Houses are equipped with everything you would expect to find in your own home including bedrooms, a kitchen and communal areas. Where possible they also have quiet spaces for children to do their school work and for parents to work remotely – in this way we ensure families can still operate together, as they would at home. Families can cook, clean, rest and be together, all the time knowing that they are only moments away from their child in hospital.

Having a sick child can impact families across all areas of their lives. Time, money, stress, loss of education and loss of earnings are but a few of the ways in which families can be affected by their child being cared for in hospital. We work with families to allow them to focus on supporting their child and do our utmost to lessen the other stresses. Children that require specialist medical care can often be in hospital for months or even years at a time. With the help of our supporters we enable families to stay together during these times so that as much normality as is possible can be maintained. We believe families together are stronger.

The Society For The Protection Of Animals Abroad (SPANA)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 209015
AU Regulator (ACNC) — Charity Number: 53617228109

THE ISSUE
Countless families across the world depend on horses, mules, donkeys, camels and oxen for their livelihoods – and sometimes even their lives. These hardworking animals are the backbone of many societies, yet their lives can be short and involve great suffering. Working day after day in extreme temperatures, often with poor harnessing, little food and no veterinary care when they are sick or injured, many working animals endure constant pain.

OUR VISION
A world where every working animal lives a life free from suffering and is treated with compassion.

HOW WE HELP
We believe the fortunes of working animals and people go hand in hand.

That’s why we deliver practical support that improves the lives of working animals alongside the communities that depend on them.

OUR MISSION
To improve the welfare of working animals in the world’s poorest communities.

We do this through treatment, training and teaching. We TREAT by providing free veterinary care when animals suffer or when emergencies strike. We TRAIN by building expertise among vets and promoting humane care by animal owners. We TEACH children to develop positive beliefs, respect and compassion towards animals.

Stonebridge Boxing Club
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1136707

Stonebridge Boxing Club was founded in 2010 by local resident Aamir Ali. Located in the once notorious Stonebridge park estates, the club is an active fighter against gun and knife crime by keeping kids off the streets and out of trouble. The club was on the brink of closing last year due to financial difficulties, but through the help of the local community and the likes of Amir Khan, Audley Harrison, Team Sauerland and the John Lyon charity, the club rose like a phoenix from the ashes.

Based on the fourth floor of Ujima House on Wembley High Road, the gymnasium is reminiscent of the iconic Kronk Gym in Detroit. With the windows shut and the heating on full blast, the gym turns into a furnace and the blood, sweat and tears can be tasted and smelt. When a session is in full-flow; the rhythmic beat of skipping, the thud of punches on the heavy bags and footsteps in the ring create this amazing-electric energy and atmosphere. This is not the place to have fun or a laugh, only the truly committed and dedicated survive the SBC experience. As one famous quote reads; “you can play football and cricket, but you don’t play boxing”.

With members representing every ethnic background possible, the club is a real fusion of culture, a friendly and warm place. The Stonebridge Boxing Club is not a team but a family, full of respect and support for one another. There are no egos or show-offs, and the veteran ABA fighters motivate and encourage each other and the junior members in giving it their all. There is no rivalry or bad blood between the guys; they are a band of brothers. 

The Gurkha Welfare Trust (GWT)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1103669

Making Room (part of The Mobile Repair Service)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 801419

Making Room help adults with hoarding behaviours. Based in Hackney, we work across London, delivering advice and de-cluttering services.

We also provide on-line advice through our email contact@makingroom.co.uk

Making Room’s techniques are based on the research and findings of Frost and Steketee, leading American academics, and we have developed our assessment and session support tools from their publications.

During our assessment, the client sets the goals they want to achieve – such as sleeping in their bed, being able to access the bath or shower, cook and prepare dinner in the kitchen, have friends around, and we agree a plan together.

Our Approach is to work with the client to sort through their collection, using a ‘3 bag’ approach. Our staff (Hoarding Recovery Assistants, or HRAs for short) bring 3 different coloured bags to sessions – a black bag for rubbish, a green bag for recycling and a coloured bag for charitable donations. With support from HRAs, clients decide where each item goes – either into one of the three bags if it isn’t being kept, or to a specific room or place in the client’s home. The HRA also supports the client to arrange for collection and removal of large unwanted items (such as furniture) or large volumes of specific items such as clothing or electrical goods.

Our Programme begins with one two hour session every week, which increases in frequency as the client develops decision-making skills and can work more intensely. At the beginning of a programme, we ask clients to try and keep the de-cluttered space clear between sessions, and as the programme advances, we work with the client to agree decluttering tasks that the client will complete independently between sessions.

UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1147576

Our mission is a simple one; we believe that everybody should have the right to access and enjoy the benefits that our new connected digital world offers – without the fear of bullying, threats and abuse.

Unfortunately, cyberbullying, harassment and digital abuse is increasing, holding many back from enjoying the benefits that access to the internet can provide. Our current online environment lacks the balance and social rules of engagement that have been cultivated over generations, governing the behavior and relationships in the communities where we live, play and work – the physical world.

The Cybersmile Foundation are committed to helping everyone realize their true potential by supporting those that are bullied and abused online, changing the behavior of the bullies themselves and through education – preparing this and further generations for a safe and positive digital future.

Dentaid
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1075826

Dentaid sends teams of volunteer dental professionals from the UK to countries where there is a real shortage of dental care. Our volunteers run clinics and outreach programmes in refugee camps, remote villages, schools, prisons, orphanages and community buildings. Every year many thousands of people are relieved of dental pain thanks to their hard work.

Dentaid recognises there are many people in the UK who find it difficult to access dental treatment.  Many homeless and vulnerable people are not registered with a practice and don’t know what to do when dental problems arise.  In some parts of the country there are long waiting lists to register with an NHS dentist.  Dentaid’s mobile dental unit visits homeless shelters, day centres and community buildings providing free emergency treatment for people in pain.

Oral health education is at the heart of what we do. We run toothbrushing programmes and oral health lessons in nurseries, schools and community buildings in the UK and overseas.

Dentaid works alongside in-country dentists to share expertise and promote best practice. We provide training for dental students, opportunities for dental graduates and ongoing support for dentists around the world.  

Dentaid sends reconditioned donated dental equipment and portable dental surgeries to projects in many different countries. From hand instruments to dental chairs we source and supply equipment so it can continue to benefit dentists and their patients. Our DentaidBox means dental surgeries can be set up in some of the most remote locations in the world.

Present Now
(supportsSafe Horizonin isues of domestic violence)
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 46-1420945

THE FOUNDATION
Each year, nearly 4 million women are battered by a significant other. In 70% of the families where spousal abuse occurs, the children are also abused (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence). Those who are ready to seek help may enter a crisis or transitional shelter. In most cases the mother and children leave their home in duress, leaving all of their belongings behind. The hope is that once these mothers have escaped the cycle of violence, they will get the social, economic and psychological assistance they need to begin a new life for themselves and their children.

PRESENT NOW is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to supporting babies, children and teens entering and living in transitional domestic violence shelters.
Our mission is to provide disadvantaged children with both essential goods and specialty items with the hope to bring them joy, comfort, and relief during a time of crisis.

PRESENT NOW was founded in 2012 by Erica Fisher and Melanie Neumann, both devoted mothers residing in Los Angeles, who are deeply committed to helping young children in need.

PRESENT NOW is committed to helping these “sheltered children” find peace and joy while their mothers heal. With your support, we hope to make a change today for a child’s tomorrow.

It can lift moods and help people to connect with others, reducing isolation by forming friendships and improving communications skills.

People can learn new things, gain qualifications in horticulture and improve skills such as initiative, co-operation, patience, concentration as well as numeracy and literacy skills.

Gardens provide restorative environments and getting outside promotes recovery from stress and helps restore the ability to focus attention.

African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1119516

ACLT is a 30+ times award winning charity committed to providing hope to patients living with blood cancer and illnesses where a matched donor (stem cell, blood or organ) is required to save a life. Our work is driven by a belief that no one should die waiting for a donor to become available.

Through our work, we improve odds of finding matches by registering potential donors en masse from all ethnicities, with a focus on donors from the African and Caribbean communities. This is due to an extreme shortage of potential African and Caribbean donors.

We also provide support and advice to patients and their families throughout treatment, from diagnosis to recovery and sadly (in some cases), while supporting the patient and family during ‘end of life’: where treatments have not been successful.

Our underlying ethos is to educate communities across the UK by raising awareness about stem cell, blood and organ donation.

ACLT was founded in 1996 by Beverley De-Gale, OBE, and Orin Lewis, OBE, 3 years after receiving the devastating news that their 6-year-old son Daniel De-Gale needed a stem cell transplant in order to win his 6-year battle against acute leukaemia.

Our Ministry of Service

WHAT?! VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA IS A CHURCH?!

Hey! Before you get scared off, give us a chance to tell you about us.

Our work is all about helping others. Plain and simple.

Yes, we are a church, but a church can mean many things.

We are a church without walls dedicated to serving ALL people.

Walls would constrain us.

Why? Because we are big on outreach, and big on being in the field where people in need are struggling. And we do this through our ministry of service that is made up of over 16,000 professionals, working across the country, and touching the lives of almost 1.5 million people annually. We take our calling seriously because the problems people face today are serious: homelessness, poverty, unemployment, lack of education, just to name a few.

So what is this ministry of service?
As members of the Volunteers of America organization, we care for people who feel abandoned, who have given up all hope. We care for the homeless and the developmentally disabled. We care for our veterans, frail older adults and seniors, formerly incarcerated individuals, people struggling with addictions, children, youth and families and so many more.

Street Link
StreetLink exists to help end rough sleeping by enabling members of the public to connect people sleeping rough with the local services that can support them. 
Take action now

How does it work?
If you are concerned about someone you have seen sleeping rough in England or Wales, you can use this website to send an alert to StreetLink.
The details you provide are sent to the local authority or outreach service for the area in which you have seen the person, to help them find the individual and connect them to support.

We ask you to provide the following information: 
1) A specific location for the rough sleeping site. You can do this by using a map to pinpoint the exact location and then providing a written description of the location.
2) Details of the time that the rough sleeper has been seen at the location.
3) Any information about the rough sleeper that will help find them (gender, approximate age, what the person looks like, what they are wearing).
You will receive details of the action the local authority normally takes when they are told someone is sleeping rough in their area and an update on what has happened as a result of your alert within 10 working days if you have requested it.

Women for Women International
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 52-1838756

We believe strong women build strong nations.

Since 1993, Women for Women International has helped more than 478,000 marginalized women in countries affected by war and conflict. We serve women in 8 countries offering support, tools, and access to life-changing skills to move from crisis and poverty to stability and economic self-sufficiency.

We bring women together in a safe space to learn life, business, and vocational skills. Once enrolled, each receives a monthly stipend – a vital support that enables her to participate.

Women increase their ability to earn an income with new skills that are in-demand. They learn about their legal rights, and they become knowledgeable about health and nutrition. The result: stronger women, stronger families, and stronger communities. This ripple effect is profound.

With more than 20 years of on-the-ground experience working with women in countries affected by conflict, Women for Women International understands that a comprehensive program addressing the social and economic empowerment of marginalized women is the most effective approach.

Kiwis for kiwi
NZ Regulator (CS) — Charity Number: CC47976

What we do
It’s all in our name — ‘Kiwis for kiwi’ is about saving New Zealand’s national bird. It’s a big job, so we focus our work where we know we’ll make the biggest difference.

The top priority is to increase The Kiwi Trust’s income so that we can fund more on-the-ground kiwi work and keep providing practical support and tools for community kiwi projects.

A one-stop shop
One thing we do is provide everything you need or want to know about kiwi—from information on how to donate money, set up a project, or monitor kiwi calls, to ideas for bringing kiwi into classrooms to inspire young minds.

We’re also the top source of factual information about these fascinating birds.

You can find out about kiwi research and how we’re improving key recovery tools, such as Operation Nest Egg and Kohunga Kiwi, where young birds live safely until big enough to better defend themselves against predators.

And you can find out about our training for dogs, a major killer of adult kiwi. The training teaches the dogs to leave kiwi alone.

It’s also all about people
We couldn’t do what we do to save kiwi if it wasn’t for people’s generosity with donations—both from corporate New Zealand and individual Kiwis.

We value our partnership—we are Kiwis in this together.

The Diana Award
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1117288
SC Regulator (OSCR) — Charity Number: SC0141915

Our mission is to develop and inspire positive change in the future of young people.

The The Diana Award was established in 1999 by the British Government who wanted continue Princess Diana’s legacy by establishing a formal way to recognise young people who were going above and beyond the expected in their local communities. Too many young voices go unheard; our work strives to help elevate those voices onto a higher platform. Since then, we’ve had quite the journey but our core focus has remained the same, empowering young people to change the world.

In 2006 we became an independent charity, which enabled us to develop into a fully-fledged youth-led movement. Five years later we launched our now world famous Anti-Bullying Programme and later, in 2012, our Mentoring Programme.

We Are Family Foundation (WAFF)
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 27-0010229

SINCE 2008, WE ARE FAMILY FOUNDATION HAS DEDICATED ITS EFFORTS TO CREATING PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE CULTURAL DIVERSITY WHILE NURTURING AND MENTORING THE VISION, TALENTS AND IDEAS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE POSITIVELY CHANGING THE WORLD. 

In 1979 Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards wrote and produced the song “We Are Family” for Sister Sledge which went all the way to #1 on the charts. 

ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001, THAT SONG BECAME MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.
 
In a very direct way, the traumatic events of September 11, 2001 revitalized a spirit of unity, solidarity and civic pride among U.S. citizens, and it gave legendary songwriter, producer and musician Nile Rodgers, a New Yorker, the idea to re-record his hit song "We Are Family" written for pop group Sister Sledge in 1979 – with a diverse community of artists, actors, personalities, firefighters, policemen and everyday citizens affected by the tragedy.

Over 200 personalities gathered together in just 11 days after the terrorist attacks, all eager to use the song's message and uplifting beat to mobilize the world and commence the healing process.
 
WAFF now teams up with other organisations such as A World of Difference Institute® and schools 
 across Mali, Malawi, Nicaragua and Nepal providing an education to more than 3,698 students.

WAFF's greatest inspiration came with learning of Mattie J.T. Stepanek, an 11-year-old poet and peacemaker with muscular dystrophy and a resume that included 6 New York Times bestsellers, they were struck by his astute observations about human nature and his universal message of hope and peace.
His vision of a global family perfectly aligned with WAFF's mission, and they chose him as the first We Are Family Peacemaker Award honoree because of his significant contributions toward promoting a peaceful society.

Friends of Spice
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1148415

SPICE runs several ability groups which allow members the best opportunity to develop their skating abilities.
In addition to regular skating, SPICE has been teaching ice hockey since 2006. We are also very proud of our very own synchronized skating team, TEAM SPICE!

Starting as an ambitious pilot programme, SPICE members were offered the opportunity to learn to play ice hockey under the watchful eye of two Slough Jets players of the day, Michael Bowman and Paddy Ward as well as ice hockey player and coach, Nicola Bicknell.

BBC Children in Need supported our proposal and we were able to fund essential hockey equipment as well as ice time and tuition costs.

SPICE employs NISA (National Ice Skating Association) coaches who all have gained lots of experience in teaching children and young adults with additional needs over the years. With volunteers on hand to support both our newer members and anyone needing a helping hand, membership is always in demand and we are currently running a waiting list.

SPICE stands for Special People on ICE.

Wounded Warrior Project
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 20-2370934

WHO IS A WARRIOR?
Veterans who served on or after September 11th, 2001, and have pressing needs. You are our focus. You are our mission.

Here, you’re not a member – you’re an alumnus, a valued part of a community that’s been where you’ve been, and understands what you need. Everything we offer is free because there’s no dollar value to finding recovery and no limit to what you can achieve.

480,000 servicemen and women physically injured in recent military conflicts. 400,000 living with invisible wounds, from depression to post-traumatic stress disorder. 320,000 experiencing debilitating brain trauma.

Advancements in technology and medicine save lives – but the quality of those lives might be profoundly altered.

The numbers speak for themselves, because not every warrior can. With the support of our community of donors and team members, we give a voice to those needs and empower our warriors to begin the journey to recovery.

Sickle Cell Society
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1046631

The Sickle Cell Society was first set up as a registered charity in 1979. It was formed by a group of patients, parents and health professionals who were all concerned about the lack of understanding and the inadequacy of treatment for people living with sickle cell disorders.

The Society is managed by a committee of 10 volunteers elected at the Annual General Meeting, and they meet each month. The Management Committee is accountable to the members and works with a small core of paid staff to further the Society’s aims by providing special services and welfare schemes for sickle cell sufferers.

Our vision is to be the most successful sickle cell organisation nationally with a wide network of well-informed, committed and active supporters working at local, national and international levels.

We will be better able to empower and assist people with sickle cell disorders to achieve their full economic and social potential.

A Band of Brothers (BofB)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1122852

What make us different
We have a pretty ambitious vision for one.

One of the key ways in which we are different is that through creating and supporting contemporary rites of passage for adolescents we intend:

• to create community by engaging and training adult men to act as mentors and allies for local young men- thereby bridging the perilous divide that exists between generations of males
• that every adolescent will have the opportunity to be recognised, acknowledged and welcomed into adulthood through a community sponsored rites of passage experience
• to encourage a search for meaning and purpose in life based on the miracles of nature and humanity rather than adherence to any particular religion, thus enabling men from different backgrounds and creeds to connect in a meaningful way
• “Hurt people, hurt people.” We address the hurt carried by men directly, so that they are less likely to hurt others. Cognitive training programmes can be very useful, but all of the employability training in the world cannot enable a young man with chronic anger or self esteem issues to get a job
• to recognise that the “problem” of young men not just a problem with young men but of the wider societal context of their lives

We have an ambitious vision. We want to create centres for working with men outside of urban areas where they can come to connect, to heal and to return from with renewed purpose and vigour. These centres, called “Axis Mundi,” will provide an important antidote to the pressures and frequent toxicity of modern life.

Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes (NABB)
UK Regulator (CCEW) — Charity Number: 1170040

We are the voice of our members

Negotiating with the Government, NHS and more!

NABB is a registered charity, in common with all of the blood bikes groups in the UK. 30 of the 33 groups are members of NABB, agreeing to adhere to our membership standards. Each of the groups needs to have the funds to run the service, and NABB is no different. Funds raised by and donated to NABB go support the national support structures, including subsidies to groups for various items such as uniform and insurance. NABB needs to raise funds to continue to do this. 

In 2015 NABB successfully negotiated on behalf of our members with the UK Government to be included in the Chancellors Budget speech, Blood Bikes were awarded VAT exemption allowing member groups to reclaim VAT saving vital charitible funds.

Being a volunteer for one of the 27 member groups up and down the country can be a very rewarding experience, you don’t need to be able to ride a motorcycle either!

Groups need Drivers, Fundraisers, Call Handlers and General Administration volunteers to help them operate.

Of course there are opportunities for Riders and Drivers too but all the magic doesn’t happen on the road. Watch the video to the left for further information and click the link below to contact a group local to you.

Corazon de Vida
US Regulator (IRS) — Charity Number: 33-0707788

THE PROBLEM
The issue of child abuse, neglect and abandonment is a world wide issue. According to the UN over 150 million children are abandoned and living on the streets worldwide. In Northern Baja’s area of Mexico alone, over 6,000 children live on the streets or under dangerous/abusive situations, and thousands more live in extreme poverty. Mexico currently does not have the social programs that we have in the U.S., no foster care programs, no welfare system, so the only way to care and support children in need is through a network of private orphanages, funded entirely through individual and corporate donations.

THE SOLUTION
Corazon de Vida (CDV) is a 20+ year US 501c3 non-profit organization providing life-changing support for orphaned and abandoned children in Baja, Mexico by funding local orphanages, providing quality of life improvement services and investing in the children’s future by funding higher education.

Through our life-sustaining program we provide monthly funding for the orphanages under our care. These orphanages give abandoned children security, nutrition, shelter and access to a reliable education. We also fund scholarships for teens aging out of the orphanage system to continue their education. We provide consistent, monthly support to 10+ orphanages, housing over 700 children. Our university program currently has 45+ past orphanage residents in college or technical school, and serving as role models to their younger ‘siblings’.

OUR MISSION
We are on a mission to break the vicious cycle of poverty from perpetuating child abandonment.

OUR BELIEF
We believe that every child’s life is valued and holds the same potential, excitement and opportunity as any other life. It is up to us to work together to make sure our care transforms into each child’s hope for the future.
