The mission of Family Support Projects (FSP) is to improve the life chances of disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people experiencing challenges at home, at school and in the community. To achieve this, FSP has developed a project called Nature Nurture. Nature Nurture is the first early intervention programme in the UK that tackles vulnerability and promotes resilience by combining free play and nurturing interactions in natural environments. Our approach defines resilience as ‘the mental, emotional and physical fortitude to recover from adversity and realise potential.’ Resilience is a key factor in breaking generational cycles of neglect and abuse and in building positive outcomes for adult life. Nature Nurture runs programmes for groups of 10 children or young people, comprising 20 sessions where they can play, challenge themselves, socialise, explore and create freely with the attuned support of specially trained staff. Many of the children and young people, aged from 0 - 16, come from families affected by substance misuse, alcohol abuse and domestic violence. We apply a strengths based approach to developing individual potential and we measure development using rigorous observation, recording and evaluation methods as showcased in the Go Play Outcomes Evaluation Framework. Nature Nurture works in partnership with referring agencies (social care, education and health). We value and promote close working relationships with carers, parents and other family members. Nature Nurture has a team of professionals, expert in understanding and nurturing vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people with a diverse range of needs. The Nature Nurture approach is cutting edge, based on current research and recent studies in resilience, health, well being and related fields. With sufficient funding the project can work with 120+ children and young people each year.

The Lary Project is a small charity with a big mission: to represent and support the 1.5 million people with voice problems in the UK AND help prevent avoidable voice impairment. Voice problems are a significant disability both in terms of the numbers of people affected and the impact the conditions have on their lives. However, voice problems are also extremely low profile. Have you ever actually thought about how much you rely on the larynx, this little piece of skin in your throat? Probably not but it is crucial to communication, expression, singing, swallowing and breathing. It is perhaps for this reason that, incredibly, The Lary Project is the first charity specifically created to support people with voice problems. Voice problems can involve pain on speaking, a hoarse (sometimes near non-existent) voice, vocal fatigue and breathlessness, among other symptoms. Imagine if each word you uttered was painful and required conscious effort to produce? Imagine if all that came out despite this pain and effort was a strained, hoarse voice or whisper? Imagine what this might do to: Your family life (reading stories to your children) Social life (pubs and restaurants become no-go areas for some) Professional life (do you need to present in your work, talk on the telephone, speak to colleagues and clients? These become a real challenge for someone with a voice problem). Now imagine support and understanding from others is limited. The Lary Projects helps people via Support groups where attendees can meet others with voice problems. This is so, so important because voice problems can be very isolating and are often not easily understood by those who are not sufferers. Online information and advice on treatment options and issues such as working and socialising with a voice problem. Your support will mean our small charity can grow to meet the challenges of this big cause.
