Friends of HCCH was registered as a small UK charity in 2010. The Himalayan Childrens Care Home in Pokhara, Nepal was established in 2006. There are now 51 children from the poorest families from the remotest parts of Mustang. Mustang is geographically isolated with harsh weather conditions and survival there is often a tough challenge. The aims of the care home, which is run by an ex-Buddhist monk and three other full time members of staff, are to provide basic amenities of life to the children and to provide them with education, health care, spiritual knowledge and skills training. Raising awareness of humanitarianism and preserving their dwindling Tibetan culture is also important. These children have very little in terms of material possessions but are full of love and care for each other and any one who visits or volunteers to help. They are happy and eager to learn and appreciate anything that anyone does to help them. They are truly inspirational in this ever increasing materialistic world. Their website is www.hchmustang.org The money raised helps with sustainability by contributing on a regular basis to food, water and clothing costs and also to school fees. Two of the trustees have visited the home and one has returned annually. 100% of money raised goes directly to the home.

Our small charity runs seven weekly free breastfeeding support groups in Gloucestershire’s most deprived areas. Trained peer supporter volunteers and a paid breastfeeding specialist support families to breastfeed for as long as they would like, using an empowering strengths based approach. Breastfeeding is a positive way to improve public health and maternal and infant well being. Although 81% of mothers intend to breastfeed, only 34% are still doing so at 6 months and 0.5% at 1 year, despite WHO recommendations to breastfeed for 2 years. This is predominately due to a lack of support and no comparable options for breastfeeding support are available in Gloucestershire unless a family can afford to pay privately. Unfortunately our charity is facing tough times with county council and NHS cuts meaning that we are having to raise over £20,000 ourselves this financial year to keep our groups running for free.
