Our mission is to provide service members, veterans, their families and support networks with the skills and resources they need to build a strong financial future. The Foundation changes lives through financial education, credit building, home ownership and short-term assistance.
The Arthur Wharton Foundation was created to raise awareness of Arthur Wharton’s pioneering and trailblazing legacy in football, athletics and other sports. We also promote diversity and fight against racism in sport and beyond, using Arthur's story to inspire, motivate and educate.
PAWS was founded in 2005 to improve veterinary care on Paxos, support winter feeding of the island’s cats and introduce an education programme. It arose in response to an appreciation by its founders and the mayor of the poor state of animal welfare on this beautiful but isolated Greek island that had no regular veterinary facilities but a large population of domestic and feral cats. Since 2005, PAWS is delighted to report that it has treated over 8000 animals and neutered over 5500 cats. Regular teams of vets and nurses visit each year to carry out neutering and health checks on all the animals of Paxos. In 2013, the municipality offered us a building in Magazia rent free that we converted into a permanent clinic. With financial help from several sponsors in the UK and Greece, PAWS has become an established and successful animal welfare organisation......long may this continue!

Our vision is a community where all young people thrive physically, emotionally, and scholastically. To bring that vision into reality, our mission is to integrate athletic coaching, training and team sports with family life and academic mentorship. We provide the necessary support so that all young athletes enjoy basketball, stay fit, and take care of their minds and bodies. We also encourage intellectual curiosity, and appreciation for the value of family and the gifts of community.
The mission of Camp UKANDU is to bring joy and hope to children living with cancer, their siblings, and their families through “outrageously fun” camp experiences. We recognize that cancer impacts the entire family and we aim to provide parents and caregivers a respite from the physical, emotional and financial toll childhood cancer poses to families.
The Beatrice is a narrow boat on the Caldon Canal in the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands. We take school parties of children with special needs on trips, and in the holidays are used by groups that need our disabled facilities. We are out about 140 times a year and in 2014 carried nearly 1,500 passengers. No charge is made to school children but other groups (including family and social parties that wish to help with our fund-raising) make a donation of £100 or so. All trips have a qualified, paid, skipper, helped by a volunteer crew. The Charity costs around £12,000 a year to run, and donations are most welcome to help us to keep the Beatrice afloat.
