YTD Raised: $0.00The Christina Noble Children's Foundation is an International Partnership of people dedicated to serving children in need of emergency and long-term medical care, nutritional rehabilitation, educational and vocational opportunities,and the protection of children at risk of exploitation The Foundation seeks to maximize the potential of each child. This is accomplished within the context of the family and the community whenever possible and always with love and respect for the dignity of each child as an individual. Christina Noble is the founder and driving force behind the Foundation. Christina's passion for children's rights is rooted in her own horrendous upbringing. Christina knows what it's like to be young, homeless and desperate. Born in Ireland into the slums of Dublin on 23 December 1944, she was to embark on a childhood of pain and betrayal. She and three siblings were raised by their mother while their father, who was once a bare knuckled fighter, frittered away what little money the family had on drinking in pubs. The death of her mother, when Christina was 10, brought about the separation of the children, as they were all sent to different orphanages. Christina spent four desperate years in the west of Ireland in an Institute being led to believe that her brothers and sisters were dead. Her escape brought her to Phoenix Park in Dublin where she slept in a hole in the ground that she herself dug. It was during this vulnerable time that Christina was subjected to a gang rape and became pregnant. A baby boy was born but given up for adoption against her will. At the age of 18 Christina ran away to England to be with her brother. This is where she met and married her husband and had three children, Helenita, Nicolas and Androula. Unfortunately the cycle of abuse continued as her husband proved himself to be a violent and faithless man. She was regularly beaten, suffered a miscarriage and was later forced to undertake shock treatment for a mental breakdown and depression. It was during this particularly low ebb in her life around 1971 that she had a dream about Vietnam. This was a dream which she would one day triumphantly fulfil, albeit 20 years later. In 1989, with the goal to assist children in need, Christina arrived in Vietnam. Against all odds, Christina set up the Foundation in Ho Chi Minh City where the number of A more detailed account of Christina's life can be read in her autobiography 'Bridge Across My Sorrows' published in 1994, and her follow-up called 'Mama Tina'.

Sheffield Mental Health Citizens Advice Bureau and Advocacy Service
(UK, 1089383) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1089383) One of only two specialist Citizens Advice Bureaux in the country supporting adults with mental health difficulties to make sure they get the benefits and services they are entitled to and to help them speak up for themselves. Select About Us on the menu above to find out more. Our service tackles health inequalities by targeting the most vulnerable within the mental health community and those least able to express their needs. We prioritise people in hospital and people with enduring mental health problems in the community. We understand that people want continuity and to be properly listened to. Most of the people we work with have continuing and complex needs; short term, tick box interventions are not effective in supporting them to move on. The most lasting gains for individuals are as a result of sustained, sensitive and appropriate support and advice. The Citizens Advice service provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. It values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. The service aims to provide the advice people need for the problems they face, and to improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives.
