(UK, 1125867) Browse eventsThe Daphne Jackson Trust is a charity that has been helping women and men return to their research careers in science, technology, engineering and maths since 1992. The Trust was founded following the death of Professor Daphne Jackson, the UK’s first female physics professor who had a vision to remove the barriers that individuals face when trying to return to careers following a break for family caring or health reasons. Work life balance is a key issue in our society and many people wish to take a break for family or health reasons. In the fast moving world of scientific research, highly qualified and skilled individuals who take a career break quickly find themselves lagging behind their peers, and when returning to work, they struggle to find research-based employment which fully utilises their knowledge and experience. Our Fellowships give returners the opportunity to balance a challenging research project, with a personally tailored retraining programme that gives them the confidence and skills they need to return to their career. Our Fellows’ will contribute to research that will in future bring benefits to our society as a whole. For example, contributing to better ways to diagnose and treat disease, and developing our understanding of the mechanisms of climate change. To date, the Daphne Jackson Trust has helped over 250 individuals return to their careers and with your support we will be able to help hundreds more. The Trust is a unique organisation that brings potential returners together with sponsoring organisations and universities. Our Fellowship Advisors offer unparalleled mentoring and support throughout the fellowship, whilst Universities, learned societies and other organisations provide financial support. Donations are vital to our work in reaching out to the untapped pool of returners and helping individuals overcome the barriers they face when trying to return to their careers.

(UK, 299599) Browse eventsBusiness Launchpad offers practical, complete and personalised business guidance and support to young entrepreneurs, aged 16 to 30 in London, who want to set up and run their own business. All of our services are free. Since our launch in 1988, Business Launchpad has provided support to 5,000 young people. Our unique, holistic support model has also led to impressive survival rates for our young peoples’ businesses, with 85% still trading after two years. The high rate of unemployment, following the recession in the early 1980s, was the key driving force for Business Launchpad’s establishment. Richard Williams, a local resident and Business Launchpad’s Founder, approached Wandsworth Council with a business plan to get disadvantaged, unemployed, young people in the borough not only into employment but to help them set up and run their own businesses. Originally founded as the Wandsworth Youth Enterprise Centre (WYEC), our work gradually grew and expanded beyond Wandsworth and we opened our second Enterprise Centre in Acton in November 2012. Due to expansion across London we re-launched with the new name of Business Launchpad, to better reflect the scope of our work and to move away from an image that was specific to one area of London. The demand for our services remains as high now as it was 25 years ago. During 2012 the number of young people Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) had risen to beyond one million, almost one in five. According to the thinktank Demos, this number will grow to 1.2m over the next five years. Today, Business Launchpad‘s mission remains the same: to offer practical, complete and personalised business guidance and support to any young entrepreneur, regardless of their background, who wants to set up and run their own enterprise.

It is triggered by weight loss which, in turn, can be initiated by a variety of factors. It is neither a lifestyle choice nor a condition that can be afflicted by families or society. Scientific research has proven that AN has genetic components. This understanding is essential for two main reasons: The AN process is well understood: while most people can afford to diet and lose weight throughout their lives, individuals predisposed with AN need to realize that weight loss may result in an out-of-control psychobiological spiral, leading to even further weight loss. The possible implications of this weight loss should be realised and acepted by sufferers, family and friends who should also celebrate the high achieving personality traits and sensitive nature often associated with those predisposed to AN.
