Independent Parental Special Education Advice
(UK, 327691) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,803.00IPSEA is a national charity offering free legally based advice/support to benefit children with SEN/disability. One in five children in the UK have some kind of SEN / disability. Many just need the right support, tailored to meet their needs. This might be help in the classroom or extra equipment. Given this support, most do well at school. They gain qualifications and later, employment. But if these children’s needs are not met, the implications are bleak. At 16, children with SEN / disability are twice as likely not to be in any form of education, employment or training as their peers. As adults they are far more likely to be unemployed, live in poverty and to end up in custody. Their educational success and life chances are undeniably linked. The SEN system is complex. Most parents need help with the paperwork that securing their child’s support entails. Demand for our expertise exceeds our resources. Our help lines receive 100 calls a day that we cannot answer. We need your help to train more volunteers!

The Lotus Children's Centre Charitable Trust
(UK, 1123207) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,722.45The Lotus Children's Centre Charitable Trust is dedicated to providing care, accommodation support and education to orphaned, abused, and abandoned children in Mongolia. The Lotus Children's Centre was set up in 1993 by Australian Didi Kalika, who started simply by giving food and basic medical care to children living on the streeets of Ulaanbaatar. She soon realised that more was needed, and with the help of friends built a small home for the children in the ger district of Yarmag, on the outskirts of the capital. Harsh economic conditions in Mongolia resulted in more babies and children being abandoned, and the project grew. In 1997 Didi founded a kindergarten, and this was then followed by The Lotus Primary School. Since then Lotus has cared for and educated up to 150 children at any one time, in small family units each looked after by a housemother. As the children have grown up there has been an increasing emphasis on vocational training programmes to prepare them for adulthood. Lotus also runs a Guesthouse in Ulaanbaatar staffed almost exclusively by ex-Lotus children, which not only provides employment as the older children leave school, but also generates profits which contribute towards the running costs of the Centre. In 2009 Didi Kalika was awarded the Order of Australia for her services to the street children of Mongolia.

One Step At A Time
(UK, 1127562) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,704.50One Step at a Time is a registered charity working in Northern Uganda with vulnerable children and families affected by 20 years of war and rebel activity. When Sandra Murphy first visited Uganda in 2005, hundreds of thousands of people were living in squalid conditions within displacement camps. Villages had been destroyed, families murdered, children abducted by rebels and thousands of children left as orphans by murder, disease and the spread of HIV/Aids. At that point, Sandra vowed to return to make a difference in a way that would bring love and hope to some of those people. In April 2008 she returned to the town of Lira to work with those children living on the streets and eating from dustbins and with families living in poverty. The first activities took place on a field with dirty children in rags joining in football and drawing out their feelings under the shade of trees. Second hand clothing was bought and with 4 washing bowls and some cheap soap children emerged from behind the bushes unrecognisable after a wash. Scrubbed clothing hung over bushes and life became a bit more under control. A large pot of porridge ensured one hot meal each day. Now the work continues from an office with sleeping room for children and the charity is managed by 6 staff in Uganda and trustees based in UK. 60 children, young people and their families are benefiting from One Step at a Time through education in primary and secondary schools, vocational training and support to develop their own income generating activities and be able to become independent. Families separated from children during the war have been reunited, and our research has found caring families to take in total orphans as their own. Regular follow up ensures sustainability for these families. We don’t pretend it is easy, these children have been through so much trauma but with love and consistency they are trusting that we will certainly do our very best.
