Challenging Behaviour Foundation

YTD Raised: £1,455.21
(UK, 1060714) The Challenging Behaviour Foundation (CBF) is a UK wide charity which provides information and support to families and professionals caring for individuals with severe learning disabilities, who are described as having challenging behaviour.The CBF was founded twelve years ago by a parent carer Vivien Cooper: "When our son Daniel was diagnosed with Cri du Chat Syndrome, the only information given was a single sheet of paper. This wasn't much help when Daniel was pulling the curtains down, ripping his mattress open and eating the stuffing, or banging his head. With specialist help, children like Daniel can learn ways to communicate that mean they don't need to resort to challenging behaviour. Frustrated that this specialist understanding had not reached us sooner when we needed it, I set up the foundation in order to provide information and support to other families caring for individuals with severe learning disabilities"The CBF provides a range of resources on issues surrounding challenging behaviour and actively campaigns at national policy level. Resources are free to parent carers."Our aim is for children and adults with severe learning disabilities, who are described as having challenging behaviour, having the same life opportunities as everyone else, including home life, education, employment and leisure" www.challengingbehaviour.org.ukTel: 01634 838739

Beep Fund Limited
(UK, 1113396) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,395.10The BEEP Fund was set up in April 1994 as an addition to the existing Penrith and District Accident Scheme. This Scheme has provided life saving equipment for local doctors in the Upper Eden area of Cumbria, including Penrith, Kirkoswald, High Hesket, Temple Sowerby, Kirkby Stephen, Shap, Keswick and Caldbeck, for over 20 years, enabling them to attend accidents and collapses in the area. We felt there was a need to take this a step further in and around Penrith. We needed to buy more sophisticated equipment and develop a dedicated vehicle (the Immediate Response Vehicle) which was capable of carrying this equipment to where it was needed. We now have these facilities in Penrith and, seven doctors are now trained and use the vehicle, it attends any road traffic accident in the Penrith area as well as most other medical emergencies.
