(UK, 1132746) Browse eventsSRI was founded after the Tsunami of December 2004 and is registered as a Non Governmental Organization in Sri Lanka, a Charitable Trust in Hong Kong and a Charity in the UK. Our initial mission was to dispense aid to Tsunami affected areas, but over time this has evolved into the provision of long term educational resources and opportunities for disadvantaged children. We now work with about 50 schools in Southern Province, providing libraries, computer labs, general classroom repairs and sponsoring students. We have four directors, two of whom are based in London and two in Hong Kong. None of us receives a salary and we all cover our own travel and administrative expenses when travelling to, or working in Sri Lanka. One of SRI's main aims is to make sure that every dollar raised is spent in Sri Lanka on Sri Lankans. Our office is situated in Tissamaharma (about 20 mins inland from the South Eastern seaport of Hambantota) and we have conciously remained in this area because we believe we can only respond to the community's needs if we are truly part of it.

(UK, 1091766) Browse eventsSeasons for Growth, (SfG) is a programme for children, young people and adults who have experienced significant change or loss. SfG is based on the belief that change, loss and grief are normal and valuable parts of life. We examine the impact of changes such as death, separation, divorce, loss of employment, and war (refugees and armed forces families) upon our lives, and explore how we can learn to live and grow from these experiences. The core intention of this programme is the development of resilience and emotional literacy to promote social and emotional wellbeing. The programme is educational in nature and does not provide therapy or counselling, but is delivered in a therapeutic way. The programme is based on William Worden’s 4 tasks of grief. We use the imagery of the four seasons to illustrate that grief is a cyclical experience, not a linear journey with a clear end. Trained ‘Companions’ facilitate small groups where participants share their experiences, and support and learn from one another. Peer support is a key element of the programme, and confidentiality is strongly emphasised.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Walsingham - England's National Shrine to Our Lady From the beginning of time some places have been regarded as especially holy places of mystery and atmosphere. Walsingham in England (United Kingdom) has been such a place for almost a thousand years since Richeldis de Faverches was inspired by Mary to build a Shrine in perpetual memorial of the Annunciation. One of the greatest Shrines in Medieval Christendom – when travel to the Holy Land was virtually impossible – the original Shrine was destroyed at the Reformation.

(UK, 1168958 ) Browse eventsDancers’ Career Development (DCD) is an ambitious, forward-thinking charity with a proven track record in supporting professional dancers to successfully transition into a post-performing career. DCD supports professional dancers when injury, age or circumstance mean that they are no longer able to dance professionally. Along with a range of support services, including careers guidance, networking and mentoring, DCD provide financial retraining grants that allow dancers to study for an accredited course or purchase equipment to support their new career. Founded in 1974, DCD has supported over 1,700 professional dancers. DCD operates nationwide and is the only organisation of its kind in the UK. Diversity is our strength: we support all professional dancers from all genres including: ballet; hip-hop; contemporary; commercial and musical theatre to transition into careers such as scuba-diving, accountancy and floristry. DCD supports dancers to continue to work within the wider dance profession; many achieve success as leaders of arts organisations. Through our distinctive work, we create opportunities for dancers to help themselves achieve positive change in their lives. Results of a 2011 survey show that 77% of dancers agreed that their retraining helped them to gain their current employment and 89% of retrained dancers are working in the profession they retrained in. We are proud of our ability to support dancers through an often difficult time.

"Without Breath there is no life Some of Our Positive Actions We invited one of the world’s outstanding thinkers, Professor Stephen Hawking CH, CBE, FRS, to be our Patron, and he willingly accepted. Professor Hawking continues to be our Patron, and he is on record as saying: “Whilst many children are kept in hospital initially, it is the families who care for sufferers at home that find their lives, home and life plans all having to be reassessed. it is at this time you need to be able to make contact with families in similar circumstances to gain support, and knowledge of how to handle situations.” Stephen Fry is the voice of Breathe ON UK "These children never register on the richter scale" website www.breatheon.org.uk
