Yarl's Wood Befrienders (UK, 1111454) Browse events

Yarls Wood is an Immigration Removal Centre in North Bedfordshire, which detains women and families. The Befrienders, as an independent charity based in Bedford, provides much-needed support to anyone held in Yarls Wood who requests it. Through the simple act of visiting and listening, we try to restore self-esteem and reaffirm a basic sense of human dignity. Being held at Yarl’s Wood can be a traumatic experience, especially as detainees do not know how long they are likely to stay there, or whether they will be eventually released or returned to their country of origin. As well as offering emotional support, we also try to give practical help where we can. Many of those leaving Yarl’s Wood will be returning to places where they face immediate danger, or countries they left long ago. They often return to great uncertainty, sometimes with little more than the clothes on their backs. We have a small destitution fund to support people leaving Yarl’s Wood and the money raised through your donations will be used to help replenish this vital source of help. If you know of anyone in Yarls Wood who is in need of befriending support, please do contact us.  Thank you very much for your generosity.

The Griffins Society (UK, 1034571) Browse events

Thank you for visiting our profile page on MyDonate.We sponsor research to bring about change in how women and girls are dealt with in the criminal justice system. There are many women in prison, either on remand waiting to go to court or serving sentences for minor, non-violent offences, for whom prison is both disproportionate and inappropriate. Many of them suffer poor physical and mental health or substance abuse, or both. Large numbers have endured violent or sexual abuse or had chaotic childhoods. Many have been in care. Men and women are different and with a system almost entirely geared towards men, we need to radically change how we deal with women throughout the whole criminal justice system. For over ten years the Society’s Research Fellowships have turned a spotlight on how women and girls are treated to bring about much needed change. From 25th June, our Director is rowing 171 miles down the Thames to raise funds for the charity. Follow her progress on twitter (@mascltd) and please sponsor her row. mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/christineannleeson1 Charity No: 1034571 Find out more Website http://www.thegriffinssociety.org Twitter https://twitter.com/mascltd

FRIENDS OF LERATONG (UK, XR70168) Browse events

Belfast priest Kieran Creagh has been working in some of the poorest parts of south Africa for the past 15 years. In this time he has been working very closely with the poor and the sick in the townships around Pretoria. It was during his time in these townships that Kieran became more and more aware of the need for a facility in the township where people could go for proper care and attention during their illness, most of which were terminal. He also recognized the need for a place that could bring care and attention out to the community, where it was desperately needed. Also a place that could provide respite for the families and carers of the sick. Having worked in hospices back at home in Ireland, Kieran knew that this was what was desperately needed within the township. 6 years ago Kieran set about fulfilling his dream of building a hospice, and today that dream is a reality. A fully functioning 20 bed hospice in the township of Atteridgeville, Pretoria, named LERATONG (Where there is love). This has been achieved by raising funds back home, in Ireland. Also by staffing it locally with retired nurses and doctors working voluntarily. The ‘Friends of Leratong’ is a registered charity trust set up to raise funds on an ongoing basis for this much needed facility. We run various events through the year. Thank you for your support and for ongoing support. Yours sincerely, Paul Creagh Chairperson Friends of Leratong Trust.
