The Raven Trust provides practical, direct support to needy communities in Malawi, East Africa. We support hospitals and schools; contribute to orphan care programmes; stimulate economic development; and support local churches in all areas of their work. Several times a year we send containers of supplies to schools, hospitals and churches in Malawi - all goods donated by Scottish individuals and businesses. Teams of tradesmen from Scotland travel to Malawi to undertake a variety of building projects: past projects have included building houses for orphans; adding wards to a hospital and even building bridges. In 2012 a team will be travelling to Livingstonia to build holiday lodges for rent - this will provide a great source of income for the community who will then be able to use the profits to support their work with orphans.
Young Lambeth Coop (YLC) is a membership organisation that has been set up as a partnership between young people, members of the community, and Lambeth Council to revolutionise the way services for young people are chosen and run. Our main role is to choose and commission (which means pay for and assess!) services for young people. We work for the benefit of the community so it is our members who decide what they want for themselves and other young people in Lambeth. They do this by telling us in consultations (in person, by email or through surveys) and by voting. We’re really proud to say that YLC was the first organisation of its kind in London to enable the community to make decisions about their services in this way. Members are the most important part of our organisation because they tell us what they need and how they want money to be spent.
The charity raises funds from football supporters and others in Scotland, and distributes those funds in Dnipro, Ukraine to relieve the poverty, advance the education and promote the welfare of orphaned children in need. This includes providing each child with a gift at Christmas and on their birthday, with an annual holiday and with days out. Additional support is also provided where needed, for example winter clothing, basic furniture and educational support.

The end of communism has left Romania 8 times poorer than 10 years ago with 44% of Romanians living in poverty. Many families live in one or two room flats in high rise blocks, usually with their parents, siblings, husband and their own children all crammed into a tiny space. Work is hard to find. Facing extreme poverty, many parents resort to home-made alcohol. Their children face the resulting brutality and either run away to beg on the street, or are sent by their parents to beg for money for more alcohol.The children form groups to beg in underground stations and shopping areas, often sleeping underground next to the hot water pipes to keep warm. Every 5th Romanian Child is Exploited: some 900,000 of the approximately 5 million children of Romania are forced into extremely hard manual labour. HEAL Romania is an organisation that attempts to offer aid to children that live in poverty in the capital city of Bucharest in Romania. This aid may come in the form of food, medical supplies, jobs assisting street children and families in finding alternative places to live. Money is raised in England is then sent every month to a sister organisation called ‘Impreuna la scoala’, which is also run by the trustees of HEAL Romania along with a Romanian social worker called Ana Doina. Ana is a trained social worker with over 20 years experience and her understanding of the children living on the streets in Romania make her invaluable. Ana Doina has excellent working relationships with other established organisations in Bucharest that allow us to use their facilities temporarily. At present HEAL Romania is fundraising for a building of its own. Our plan is to open a day centre for street children and poor families to attend with our offices based here allowing those in need to drop in. Leading eventually to gain the funds to also open a night shelter. The mayor of the area in which we work has offered to help. But we not only need to raise enough for the building but also the monthly running costs to sustain such a project.

The Rendezvous helps young people (13-25) to help themselves by providing advice, information and support, mentoring, qualifications and employability skills to those in our community who need it most. The Rendezvous is a much loved and well established local charity working with young people in Sherborne (Dorset). No one is turned away and through trust and understanding we often achieve where conventional services have failed. Last year we provided over 1000 specialist one-to-one support meetings and more than 700 hours of volunteer mentoring to help over 200 young people from the Sherborne area. At our drop-in centre we help resolve practical issues with housing and benefits; provide tutoring for English and Maths qualifications, match young people to volunteer mentors who give them a listening ear and encouragement and our job club helps with applications and preparation for interviews. We work in partnership with local schools and support services provided by the local and district councils, the NHS and other third sector organisations but receive little statutory funding meaning we rely on local support, fundraising events and grants to continue our work.
