Kids' City (UK, 1108509) Browse events

YTD Raised: £646.00

At Kids’ City we make children smile; we run out of school activities for children aged 3 to 11 years in South London, we currently work in some of the most disadvantaged communities in the country, in Lambeth, Merton and Wandsworth, in many of the top 10% of multiple deprivations. We provide a range of high quality play, recreational and educational activities for school age children at breakfast, after school and during school holidays. We currently work with on average 1,500 children weekly. For a variety of reasons, it is not always possible for children’s social, physical, and creative needs to be met in full by their carers. Coming along to an after school club or holiday playscheme can help alleviate the tensions created by poor housing, traffic, crime and other social welfare issues. The organisation has developed a holistic approach to play, activities and childcare for children by involving children, families, schools, workers and others in the community in designing and delivering the services. We share what we know in order to benefit children everywhere. We promote activities that assist children to develop socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally. It provides opportunities for children to develop interests that they may not otherwise have due to cost, location or lack of an adult to take them. Its purpose is also to grow an ‘activity-habit’ in children in order to reduce the attractions of anti-social behaviour. It introduces children, young people and adults to constructive networks and positive peer experiences to the overall benefit of children. This is often described as belonging to a big family.

Welcome to the  Kent Deaf Childrens Society CHARITY GIVING PAGE We are a growing, self funded, volunteer led and managed, registered charity, servicing the needs and providing support to deaf children, their families and friend in kent!   What we do best: What we would like to do: In order to keep doing what we do well and to ensure we manage what we would like to do, we need to raise funds!   We know our members are grateful for our services, but we really do need to do more!    We understand that due to communication and the lack of deaf awareness in main stream community, it can be quite isolating being a deaf child.  We try to over come this by developing our community, raising deaf awareness and providing relevant information so that the children may grow and socialise together regarly, growing their self confidence, esteem and abilities!   Our volunteers are either parents of deaf children, professionals working with deaf children in Kent or deaf adults themselves.  Our deaf volunteers are fantastic role models to our deaf children and members of our youth section KDYG (Kent Deaf Youth Group, working with young people between the ages of 12 and 19).  They are happy to answer questions from members parents about deafness and their experiences as a child.   We have a tall order.......Kent is said to have over 1,000 deaf children (of all levels of loss) living in the county.  We would like to ensure all those children, their families and friends are able to access us but obviously this costs.  Please help us to help many others.   Apart from a small admin charge (for every £1 you donate via Virgin Giving the charity will recieve 96.5 pence) and if you complete the gift aid section we will also recieve gift aid from the HMRC at the same rate as the base tax rate at the time boosting your donation even further. Thank you for choosing to support the Kent Deaf Childrens Society, a local charity for local people, run by local people.

Liberty Children's Home (UK, 1136713) Browse events

YTD Raised: £610.00

In India the only inheritance that poor children have is poverty, children from poor families grow up to be poor parents. We believe that the only way to break this cycle is through education, leading to better job opportunities for both men and women. At Liberty Children's Home and Student Hostel we believe that every child is a gift from God into whom He has placed a potential. We strive to enable children to discover that potential, to dream big dreams about their future and give them the opportunity to shape their own lives. We do that at Liberty Children's by providing a safe living environment, where the children are given food, clothing, medical care and educational equipment to enable them to attend the village schools, college and even university. Liberty Children's Home is only a small charity, providing for 50 children in purpose built dormitories, in its own secure compound. Some of the children are orphans and for them it is an orphanage, others have a parent or parents with short or long term sickness, who cannot work, and for them it is a large foster home. The number of children at the Home is limited by the funds available and it cannot accomodate all the needy children in the village. But each year it also helps more than 100 of the poorest children in the village, by providing them with all their notebooks, so that they can also attend the village schools. Together with this, it is working with the schools to provide plates so that there are sufficient for the mid day meal. Realising that the Home cannot alway be dependent upon overseas donations, we are currently working with it to develop a buffalo dairy farm, which, although in its early stages, will eventually provide the income to support the children.
