Zellweger UK (UK, 1166389) Browse events

YTD Raised: £463.00

Supporting families impacted by Zellweger Spectrum Disorder, and helping to fund much needed medical research for this rare and devastating condition. Zellweger Spectrum Disorder affects approximately 1 in 50,000 children worldwide. As it's so rare specialists in the condition are few and far between, and families can feel cut off. As parents ourselves, some who have sadly already lost their children to ZSD, we know how scared and cut off families can feel. Our aim is to be a source of support both financially by way of small grants, and emotionally. Nobody understand ZSD better than other families on the spectrum. There is currently no affective treatments for ZSD; only management of some of the symptoms. We aim to help towards funding desperately needed medical research in the hope of better diagnostics, effective treatments, and one day, even a cure.

The Charter 600 Charity (UK, 1051146) Browse events

YTD Raised: £430.00

A Brief History The Charter 600 Charity was set up by the Mercers’ Company in 1994 to commemorate the 600th anniversaries of both the Company’s first Charter in 1394 and the first Mastership of Richard Whittington in 1395, and to provide an opportunity for today’s membership to make direct contributions to the charitable giving of the Company. The Aim of the Charity The aim of the Charter 600 Charity is to give grants primarily to small, community based organisations, where a small amount of money will make a big difference. The amount available for grants each year is fairly modest and this is reflected in the average grant size (£500-£1,500). Below are some examples of the organisations and projects which the Charter 600 Charity has supported recently.  - Emma’s Bubble Trust - A small local charity in Surrey which was set up in memory of Emma Brandon, who died of cancer at just 16 years old. The Charity raises money to help teenage cancer patients. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant to support the work of the Trust.  - Ferrier’s Barn - A day care centre for young disabled people in Suffolk. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant to fund a range of arts and crafts activities at the centre. - Shirts for Soldiers - An enterprise which provides bespoke shirts free of charge to Soldiers recovering at Headley Court, as a token of gratitude for their courage and sacrifice. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant in support of this work. - Martha Trust Hereford - The Charity provides lifelong and respite care for young people with profound intellectual and physical disabilities. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant to fund musical instruments for the therapy department. - Mangalakara Education Trust - Responsible for the Mangalakara Children's Home and Education Centre in India, the Trust provides food, shelter and clothing to orphaned and ill-treated children completely free of charge.
