YTD Raised: £1,405.00
(UK, 1086995) As an organisation working with and for older people in the city of Sunderland for over 60 years, Age UK Sunderland believe firmly in our mission statement and aim - ‘To promote the well being of all older people throughout the City of Sunderland, improve their quality of life and help them maintain their independence.’ Every donation we receive will help us to make a personal difference to the lives of older people, their families and carers throughout Sunderland. We help those who are lonely and isolated by offering a home-visiting service by one of our trained volunteers. We assist older people experiencing financial hardship to claim their benefit entitlements. We provide someone to turn to for information and advice in order to find solutions, reduce anxiety and rediscover a sense of empowerment. We organise day opportunities and social activities - including day and lunch clubs, day services, computer classes, exercise classes, to name but a few. We support people to remain independent in their own homes. We are there for older people in times of need and when, perhaps, there is no-one else to turn to or even family and friends need more information and support. We depend on donations to ensure that we can continue to work alongside, help, support and empower 2,000 older people per week in Sunderland. Many thanks for your help.
Lanarkshire Association for Mental Health
(UK, SCO10404) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,401.00The Organisation was formed in 1983 to establish a forum that would serve as a focus for the development of services for people who experience mental illness within the communities of Lanarkshire. Until 1989, much of our activity was within the Hamilton/Blantyre area where we provided supported accommodation and developed an early vision of dispersed day care. Since then, there has been steady growth in our services and we currently provide community based support services throughout all of Lanarkshire. Employment opportunities have also been developed to explore pathways to employment for people who wish to pursue work related activity. The Organisation now employs approximately 75 staff, a mixture of full, part-time and bank staff, and also involves volunteers to do specific pieces of work depending on local need. Our funding comes mainly from contract agreements with North and South Lanarkshire Council with the central management/administration costs funded through Management Fees levied on each service. Senior Managers contribute to the organisation through a small management team and we have been developing opportunities for all staff to contribute to the success of the organisation through inter-team working groups and an inclusive communication strategy. We are committed, in the long term, to a gradual and qualitative improvement in the focus and delivery of our services. We are committed to a staff training programme which is geared towards SVQ training to meet the Regulation of Care requirements. The Organisation was again re-accredited with Investors in People Award in December 2009, first achieved April 2001, which endorses our commitment to staff development. The Organisation is governed by a Board and supported by local Advisory Groups and consultation groups with service users/carers taking all places on the latter groups and service users at least 50% of places on the Board. We are committed to the meaningful participation of developing and providing quality support services in partnership with people who experience mental health difficulties, their carers and other agencies.

I used to go into the centre in tears and when I left I felt the sun was shining and I felt more hopeful" "The Carers' Support Centre really helped me to accept myself and look at things differently. I am coping better now and feel I have been given the tools to cope. I feel stronger in myself. Your support has been a great help" There are over 7 million Carers in the UK, together saving the UK economy £129 billion every year! Carers selflessly put the needs of other before their own.
