With first hand experience volunteering in Cambodia the founding trustees set up HOPE to give the underprivileged children and young adults in Cambodia a chance to have a childhood and/or permanently improve their lives. HOPE intends to seek and support existing programs in Cambodia assisting young people with their education and social development where there is a need for further funding to expand either the variety of their activities (eg. provision of English classes or computer classes) or increase the number of young people they can support, where we strongly believe it will make a permanent difference/improvement to the young people in the programs, and where we can monitor the progress and results of the program.

Young people with cerebral palsy in the Hastings and Peacehaven areas of East Sussex are now exercising by having fun thanks to the purchase of Wii’s by the Friends. They can even challenge their brothers and sisters to a game. Each week in East Sussex patients ranging from tiny babies to the very elderly are treated by community physiotherapists funded by the Friends. In the last year the Friends spent more than £40,000 on salaries for the physios and equipment, such as the Wii’s, for both physios and patients.

Change For Animals Foundation (CFAF) is an organisation committed to promoting compassion towards all animals and ending animal suffering. CFAF works to support and inspire positive change for animals around the world in partnership with local animal protection groups and an international network of animal welfare specialists. CFAF has chosen the route of partnership and co-operation and is already working collaboratively with international and local groups to create real change for animals. Transforming the lives of animals in various countries requires local knowledge and understanding of the culture from within the community, but many animal welfare groups find it difficult to access the resources and the strategic support they need. However, through working partnerships with groups around the world, CFAF can provide input in terms of expertise, research and other resources, so that positive change for animals can be delivered at both the policy level and on the ground. By working with organisations that are embedded in communities where animal welfare problems lie, CFAF will show that the lives of both people and animals can be improved when animals are protected, effecting true and lasting change.
