(UK, SC046955) Browse eventsWelcome to our fundraising page for Donside Village Community (DVC). Donside Village Community (DVC) SCIO is our charity organisation for our community of Donside Village in Tillydrone, Aberdeen. Donside is our new village on the site of a former papermill. We’re a sustainable community nestled on the banks of the River Don. Our strengths are our location, heritage, homes, greenspace, river, wildlife and most of all our community. We were set up to act in the best interest of our residents. We’re made up of representatives from our Village. We take on roles and responsibilities to develop our Village and our community. We achieve this through physical improvements and events and activities, designed to bring us together as we grow. We aim to act as a voice at a local level through local networks, Community Councils and other partner agencies, including our social landlord, Sanctuary Housing. We are created and are home to Aberdeen Community Energy and the Donside Hydro, Scotland's first urban community hydro. The DVC is much wider than just people who live in our Village. While we and our activities are based in our Village, they are for everyone, near or far.

(AU, 38613794225) Browse events fws is a not-for-profit, non-denominational, non-governmental organisation that builds and manages eco-friendly villages with educational, social and health facilities for vulnerable women, their children and orphans in developing countries. We do this by providing nourishing meals to vulnerable women and children access to clean water for vulnerable women and children and, where possible, the wider community safe shelter for vulnerable women and children access to health facilities (including AIDS care) for vulnerable women and children environmental, health, business, social and educational programs that teach life skills to vulnerable women and children weekend education programs for the wider community all of the above with minimal impact on the local environment fws aims to enhance the current and future lives of these women and children so that they are better able to contribute to their community and enjoy their lives. Well…it’s like this: those involved with fws believe that while a person is on earth, they either get a dodge deal or a great deal. If you get a great deal, then it only seems fair that you help those who got the dodge deal. When you’ve had the privilege of living and volunteering in a developing country, as each of us at fws have, you soon see how the smallest amount to us, in the western world (a night out, a new top, a movie), can make a drastic difference to someone in a developing country (food for a month, school fees, life-saving medicine). Often those that need help don’t have the voice to ask for it and those who would love to give, don’t realise how valuable what they offer is, nor how easy it is to make a tangible difference. You also observe how aid can be misdirected or mismanaged and how it can sometimes create dependencies and perpetuate the very need it aims to address. It’s for these reasons that fws aims to create projects that are locally managed, eco-friendly and that leave the locals with improved living and vocation skills. By using our creativity and forethought from the outset, we have managed to impart knowledge and skills in a way that ensures we are needed less as each project develops. This not only allows us to concentrate our services where they are most required, when they are most required, but also ensures we leave the locals a legacy – and that’s what we’re all about.
