The Matthew Elvidge Trust
(UK, 1135668) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,161.00The Matthew Elvidge Trust Background Matthew Elvidge was a bright, energetic and caring young man, who had everything to live for and yet, aged 23, he took his own life after a very short period of depression and, as is so common, we were not fully aware of the depth of his depression and how to help. We would therefore like to do as much as we can to help others who are, or may be, in a similar situation, by increasing the awareness of depression and other mental health issues and preventing other young people from taking their own lives. We have therefore set up ‘The Matthew Elvidge Trust’. What are the Objectives of the Trust? The objectives of the Trust are: - to increase the awareness of depression, its signs and behaviours that may lead to suicide in young people - to equip and train people, who are best placed to identify those at risk from depression - to encourage and help young people, who are suffering from depression to seek professional help in the form of counselling, psychotherapy and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) - to reduce the stigma of depression How will we achive these objectives? We aim to achieve these objectives by raising funds and distributing them to charities, who work in this field and particularly those that are involved in: - introducing education about depression into families, schools, colleges, universities and the work place - providing training courses for parents, GPs, practice nurses and primary health care workers - supporting and implementing mental health initiatives - monitoring research into the causes, effects and treatments of depression and how this can be used to increase awareness How is the Trust be funded? The Trust has been started with an initial lump sum gift and a wide variety of events have already raised over £150,000. We will ensure that its objectives are sustained over a long period through ongoing fundraising.

The Door Youth Project
(UK, 1131919) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,135.00At The Door, we believe in the potential of every young person. Yes, when we first meet them, they might be angry, rebellious and in all kinds of trouble, but over the months we see them change. The Door is a Christian-based youth project, established in 1991 for the benefit of all young people aged 11 to 25. We do mentoring & personal support so young people can learn to express their anger in more positive ways. We offer a safe place for them to hang out off the streets and fun and challenging activities and trips to channel their energy. And we offer education- practical vocational training such as carpentry, so that troubled young people can go on to lead positive and fulfilled futures. We turn lives around. We have been a positive influence in the lives of so many seriously disaffected young people. We have worked with a 15 year old armed robber, 14 year olds addicted to Cocaine and 12 year olds that use sex as a substitute for love. When asked what difference do we make, Brendan, Project Co-ordinator, always says “There are young people alive today that might otherwise have been dead if it wasn’t for the work we do.” This is the greatest outcome we could achieve, a life with a future where there was despair, hope where there was sadness. Our work is challenging but the rewards are great. We now see over 300 young people every year and over 150 very month. We provide 1,123 hours of drop-in general youth work time. We engage with 40 disadvantaged young people through over 2,000 hours of training workshops. We help over 50 disengaging young people through over 1,000 hours of one to one support. We see growth in confidence and motivation in over 50 young people as they participate in performance arts. We do have a huge impact, but still need to do more to address unmet needs. We work with those with suicidal thoughts on a weekly basis. Please help us to help them. Your gift will bring HOPE!

Kaira Konko Scout Fellowship
(UK, XR80596) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,130.00Kaira Konko Scout Lodge in Soma, The Gambia was built by local people using funds raised in Hampshire UK. After much hard work a hall and 5 bedrooms for visitors were opened by the British High Commissioner in 1998. Since then the project has gone from strength to strength. Its aim is to be a self-sufficient, not for profit, social enterprise whereby rooms are hired to Scout expeditions, tourists, local government stall, NGOs and business people wanting overnight accommodation in Soma. The money raised maintains the buildings and provides Scouting facilities for around 200 young people aged from 2 to 20. Until the Lodge became self supporting in 2009, Kaira Konko Scout Active Support, a group of friends and supporters of KK in the UK, raised funds to help run and develop the centre. The Lodge now has 6 bedrooms, a bantaba, kitchen and store all set within a lovely garden and safe environment. We continue to raise funds so that the work at KK can continue - to sponsor Scouts through education, employ staff to run the centre, and advise Scouts about further skills, training and employment. A rice fund is administered by the project manager to ensure no Scout’s family goes hungry. Any young person can become a Scout, all that is asked is that they attend the weekly Scout meeting (and over 200 do just that) and are kind, friendly, honest and helpful. Kaira Konko offers opportunities that children can, through their own endeavours, learn the skills to give them a chance for a better life. The more funds we have the more opportunities we can offer. We are a small charity and all money raised goes directly to help the aims of the project.
