Together With The Children (UK, 1143255) Browse events

YTD Raised: £0.00

Together with the Children is dedicated to permanently ending the misery of street children. It is the sister organisation of the JUCONI Foundation (Juntos Con Los Ninos) which has transformed the lives of thousands of children and their families in Mexico and Ecuador. For many children living and working on the streets of Mexico and Ecuador, JUCONI is their last chance. JUCONI works with highly excluded children who drop out of or are missed by existing state and voluntary service provisions. Every time such children are failed by another organisation, they become more detached and less trusting that their lives can be improved. For the majority of children supported by JUCONI, integration into a safe family environment is the result of the intensive and personalised work carried out by highly trained educators over a period of time. However, for some children, the creation of a safe environment in their familial home is not possible and, in those cases, children are housed and nurtured in JUCONI House. JUCONI has developed a pionnering model to address the needs of street children and their families and shares this knowledge worldwide through its training programme.

Third Sector Services (UK, 1119310) Browse events

YTD Raised: £0.00

Third Sector Services is the umbrella charity that runs community transport schemes in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and Gloucester. We are also one of the key partners running Volunteering Gloucestershire, the county-wide service that helps would-be volunteers find placements with charities and voluntary groups. Lifeline for older and disabled people The affordable door-to-door transport service run by us is open to older people and those with mobility issues. Without our help many of our vulnerable passengers would not be able to live independent lives in their own homes and would become socially isolated and lonely. For some a lack of transport may mean they would have to give up their own homes and move into residential accommodation. With the help of our highly-experienced team of paid and volunteer drivers our passengers can get out and about, attend vital medical appointments, visit friends and pop to the shops. Our service provides peace of mind for friends and relatives of elderly and disabled family members who use our service - particularly those who live outside Gloucestershire and cannot be on standby to help with transport themselves. A donation of just £5 will help us to subsidise a journey for a lonely older person. Donating £40 will cover the cost of training and supporting a new volunteer driver. Keeping volunteering alive in Gloucestershire Thanks to our partnership work at Volunteering Gloucestershire we help more than 1,000 would-be volunteers find fulfilling volunteer roles each year. Feeling valued for the contribution they make can often have a dramatic and positive effect on the lives of volunteers, opening up new possibilities for learning, career development and social interaction.  A donation of just £5 would help support our outreach work with a start-up charity or community group. Donating £25 would go towards helping to cover the cost of an information stand designed to raise awareness of volunteering in the community.
