Heads Together for Best Beginnings
(UK, 1120054HT) Browse events
YTD Raised: £2,005.00The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry are spearheading a new campaign, Heads Together, to end stigma around mental health. It will be the biggest single project Their Royal Highnesses have undertaken together. The Heads Together campaign aims to change the national conversation on mental wellbeing and will be a partnership with inspiring charities with decades of experience in tackling stigma, raising awareness, and providing vital help for people with mental health challenges. Best Beginnings supports all parents across the UK in giving their children the best start in life. There are many factors including ethnic and socio-economic factors which contribute to making child health a postcode lottery in the UK with a baby born in Wolverhampton being 4 times more likely to die in its first year than a baby born in Bath. We support parents through innovative resources including our free Baby Buddy app: Baby Buddy is a mother’s personal baby expert who will guide her through pregnancy and the first six months of her baby’s life. It has been designed to help mothers give their babies the best start in life and support their health and wellbeing. Baby Buddy has been created with mums, midwives and doctors, which means that the information is reliable, accurate, and is available 24 hours a day. Becoming a mother is a time of heightened emotions. For many women the dominant emotions are positive ones, but around 2 in 10 women develop a mental illness during pregnancy or within the first year after having a baby and experience temporary feelings of low mood including unhappiness, loneliness and anxiety. For some women these feelings may be severe enough to be a clinically diagnosable mental illness, and some women already have a history of diagnosed mental illness when they become pregnant. Best Beginnings' Out of the Blue films project helps to raise awareness and reduce stigma around perinatal mental health issues. For more information about Best Beginnings and Baby Buddy click on:

Forward Assist Limited
(UK, 1150408) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,904.75Forward Assist Veteran Support Charity provides advice, information and guidance, ‘life changing’ projects and opportunities to former servicemen and women who are experiencing difficulties in adjusting to a new life as a civilian. Forward Assist’s programmes are particularly relevant for former servicemen and women who are experiencing homelessness or housing problems, are incarcerated in Prison or have involvement with the Criminal Justice System. Many former forces personnel have alcohol and drug dependency issues and have difficulty accessing support in relation to mental health and/ or post-traumatic stress disorder. A large percentage of our referrals & group membership is disenfranchised from mainstream services and lack family support. They choose to not access existing services or are deemed inappropriate for existing provision. Often this is because of a lack of understanding in the civilian community of the Armed forces culture, individual behaviour and mannerisms or simply that they display multiple complex needs that overwhelm individual service deliverers. Forward Assist staff and volunteers seek out and ‘plug in’ colleagues to sympathetic and appropriate services.

Essex Dementia Care
(UK, 1129038) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,860.00ESSEX DEMENTIA CARE Essex Dementia Care recognises the importance of meaningful occupations and companionship for well being and health. By specialising in this very practical care approach we aim to maintain a quality of life for the individual and support the family carers. We also recognise that people with dementia have a fragile sense of self-worth, and need to be treated with courtesy, however advanced their dementia is. When a person with dementia finds that their mental abilities are declining, they often feel vulnerable and in need of reassurance and support. The people closest to them – including their carers, health and social care professionals, friends and family – need to do everything they can to help the person to retain their sense of identity and feelings of self-worth. The experience of dementia is unique for each person and their family. Essex Dementia Care strives to provide an active and stimulating environment tailored to the special needs of the person with dementia. Our aim is – · To offer simple choices wherever possible by informing and consulting the person concern about matters that concern them, giving them every opportunity to make their own choices. · Give plenty of encouragement, letting them do things at their own pace and in their own way. · Do things with the person, rather than for them, and helping them retain their independence. · Try not to correct what the person says; the accuracy of the information is not as important as what the person is trying to express. · Understanding the importance that people with dementia are treated with respect; remembering that the person with dementia is still a unique and valuable human being despite their illness. · Supporting other carers in helping them to see the person they’re caring for is a person and not simply “someone with dementia”. Dementia is nothing to be ashamed of. It is no one’s fault. If your life, or the life of your love one is touched by dementia we are here to help.
