Equally important is our aim to improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives by collecting evidence and campaigning for change. We value diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination. The contribution made by our volunteers aged between 19 and 79 is vital; coming from all walks of life and bringing a wide range of experience plus enthusiasm and energy, they underpin all that we do. We know that the lives of many of our clients are changed for the better by the help and support received from the volunteers. What is less well known is that volunteering at CAB can be a life changing experience too, a fact with which many of our volunteers will agree.

Chukwu Trust
(UK, SC035651) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Chukwu Trust is founded on the principle that when people have nothing, even the smallest donation can transform lives. It aims to give people in Africa the basics to start a new education, a new job, a new life and build a future for themselves and their families. We do not aim to fund people on an ongoing basis, but instead to provide the crucial capital that will enable them to support themselves. This is done through direct donations to individuals, so not only is the gift completely transparent but the results can be seen immediately. Many of the people who require assistance have had their lives brutally transformed by tragic events, most commonly the loss of the breadwinner in the family through accidents or sickness. Countries, such as Nigeria where we work, do not have a welfare state. The only form of assistance is provided by the family network. When this breaks down, those left behind have nothing to fall back on, bringing severe suffering to the families involved.
Younger People With Dementia Berkshire West
(UK, 1147290) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00We are a charity registered in 2012 to support people in the west of Berkshire who develop dementia under the age of 65. It is estimated that the incidence of dementia in this age group is one in every thousand – which, at this time, equates to around 240 people in West Berkshire alone – many of whom are unknown to local service providers. The needs of younger people with dementia (under 65 years of age) and their carers differ greatly from older people as the pattern, progression and burden of illness are all different, which is where we come in. We have an innovative approach to respite care. As well as our one to one service, we run a series of age appropriate workshops which offer meaningful activity. Each session or workshop is tailor-made to the individuals who attend and this enables people to continue to enjoy participating in activities and being involved in the community. A choir was established in September 2012 which meets weekly. There have been several concerts which have been much enjoyed both by choir members and audience. The workshops run on a rolling programme of 6-8 weeks to try to accommodate everybody's interests. They have included physical activities such as dancing, running and katacanoeing as well as gardening, photography and local history. We try to be flexible in how we use our resources, continuing to listen to clients and their families, and at the same time not duplicating services which are already provided on a statutory basis. Our longer term aim is to be able to fund a resource which will provide respite care on both a short and longer term basis. Thank you for taking the time to look at our page. We appreciate your support.

YTD Raised: £0.00Mobex North East has been working with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people since 1991. We specialize in working with people who have little self esteem or confidence; offenders; people with mental health issues; and behaviour issues. Based just outside the centre of Newcastle we are ideally based to travel to any part of the North East. An essential part of learning and personal development, whatever people's age or circumstances, is to experience the world beyond the school, home or work environment. We provide the opportunity for people to take part in quality outdoor education programmes that can become one of the most memorable learning experiences of their lives. We help people to make sense of the world around them by making links between feelings and learning. These experiences can effect behaviour, lifestyle and work; they can influence values and decisions. We help people to discover what alraedy exists within themselves ... as Michaelangelo said, "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free".
