We aim to provide the advice people need for the problems they face in areas like debt, benefits, employment, housing and consumer; last year we helped more than 1,300 people with over 5,500 different problems, with many receiving specialist advice in debt and welfare rights. Equally important is our aim to improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives by collecting evidence and campaigning for change.  We value diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination. The contribution made by our volunteers aged between 19 and 79 is vital; coming from all walks of life and bringing a wide range of experience plus enthusiasm and energy, they underpin all that we do.  We know that the lives of many of our clients are changed for the better by the help and support received from the volunteers.  What is less well known is that volunteering at CAB can be a life changing experience too, a fact with which many of our volunteers will agree.

It is an interfaith based organization that complements and works alongside the voluntary and statutory agencies involved in resettlement within and outside the prison. The charity has no external financial support; the vast majority of the work is carried out by volunteers. In June this year, three amateur cyclists  (Patrick Foster, Mike Preston and Henning Goranson-Sandberg) will attempt to cycle up Mount Ventoux not once, but three times within 24 hours.    This iconic mountain is the ultimate test for cyclists in the Tour de France.   Our 3 cyclists have put in many miles of training for the last 6 months in order to raise the money the charity needs to contine its work.   The aim is to raise as much as possible towards the £60,000 needed to run the charity each year.

Pate's Grammar School (UK, XR10888) Browse events

Annual Fund 2013 - 2014 Dancing in the Rain Just because Pate’s is an Outstanding School doesn’t mean we’re immune to revenue funding challenges. Government funding is down £110k next year and we have lost a further £155k from commercial partners and the Pate’s Foundation (which was so generous in recent years helping fund our new refectory).  In total that reduces our income next year by about £265k. We will work hard to manage this ensuring that the core purpose of the school will not be affected.   In our latest Ofsted Inspection (2013), we were categorised as “Outstanding” in all areas. The report comments ….. “The academy pays considerable attention to the wider personal development of students and the range of opportunities beyond the formal curriculum is exceptional.” We are determined that these opportunities do not lessen in any way through lack of resources. We know the storm is upon us; we can either sit and ride it out or we can seek your support and start Dancing in the Rain.   With fantastic governor backing we have decided on the latter. We have always looked to our parents and alumni to help us provide the very best educational experience for our students. We are now in even greater need for our community to step up, dig deep, join those who are already supporting us and enable us to not only put up the umbrella but also to put on our dancing shoes. The Annual Fund 2013 – 2014, ‘Dancing in the Rain’, is vital to provide the extras that otherwise will be met with a sharp intake of breath and a shaking of the head. Please support us. Your children are worth every penny!

We are using these donations to support Wau, a region in South Sudan - one of the world’s newest countries. Wau currently has considerable needs, partly due to famine and internal conflict.Our initial project was to fund the building of a guest house in Wau – to accommodate visitors and to provide a revenue stream for the Church in Wau. The guest house was completed in 2015 at a cost of around £55,000.Our current focus is on education, both spiritual and practical. We have contributed around £40,000 towards education, centred on St John’s college in Wau, but including provision for more specialised training elsewhere in the region. In 2016 we committed to support the permanent theological teaching staff in St John’s college for a further 3 years. We are also hoping to facilitate the sponsorship of business students at St John’s college.In addition to our main projects, we responded rapidly to the recent unrest in South Sudan by sending over £27,000 to the Church in Wau to provide much needed food for internally displaced people.
