Relate Mid Wiltshire
(UK, 1080492) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Relate Mid Wiltshire works to encourage respect and fulfilment in all relationships, particularly couple and family relationships, thus promoting individual wellbeing. Services are offered to individuals, couples, families, young people, employees, irrespective of ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender, age or financial means. A member of the Relate Federation, we are keen to encourage early intervention and run supportive workshops for parents and carers. In response to increased demand we now provide counselling in secondary schools, our Relateen service; and primary schools, our Time to Talk service. In addition we offer an independent counselling service, Talk Zone for children aged 7 to 19 years old. This service is valued by young people who do not wish to be seen in school. Typically a young person fed back her life had been transformed by understanding her own pattern of behaviour. Due to the economic downturn the funding opportunities for Talk Zone have shrunk, and a free service is unsustainable at a time when it is needed most. Whilst we continue to offer it with a bursary, to enable Talk Zone to be reinstated as a free service in the future, £40,000 a year needs to be raised. Relate Mid Wiltshire does not receive Central Government funding and relies heavily upon the hard work and generosity of local funders and donors to sustain the services that are provided.

The Lary Project
(UK, 1137883) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00The 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.
