Ewhurst School Governors Fund (UK, XR75500) Browse events

In conjunction with St Peter and St Paul's Church in Ewhurst, we have set up the ultimate adrenaline rush event. On Saturday 14th June, those who are brave enough will be able to climb to the top of Guildford Cathedral and abseil off using a zip-wire. Just getting to the top of the Tower is a challenge in itself - and then there's nothing between you and the ground. Recent changes in funding mean that small village schools have lost some of the subsidies that have been in place for many years - realistically schools need to have 250+ children to be economically viable and the School has 90. We are aiming to raise money to help secure the future of the school and to ensure that this generation of children receive at least the same opportunities as those who have gone before. St Peter and St Paul's Church has been at the heart of the village for over 800 years. Maintaining the fabric and keeping it alive as a place of worship - rather than as a monument is a challenge that inevitably requires more money than we can raise through normal day-to-day contributions. Whatever is raised for the Church through this event will ensure that we can kepour heart beating. Volunteers for the abseil - and there is a limited number of places - can raise funds for the School, for the Church or for both. You decise and let us know. Click on the 'Events' tab to the left of this page to find out more and book your place. Go on - be brave!

Snow Leopard Trust (uk) Limited (UK, 1116101) Browse events

"HELPING  SNOW LEOPARDS SURVIVE  IN THE WILD THROUGH COMMUNITY BASED CONSERVATION AND GOOD SCIENCE" With possibly less than 7,000 snow leopards remaining in the wild our goal is to help save this magnificent species survive for future generations. We are a charity run by unpaid volunteers so our aim is that over 95p in every £1 raised can go directly to funding conservation projects in snow leopard habitat in central Asia. The principal 'THREATS' to the snow leopard's survival in the wild are as follows:- The snow leopard can however be SAVED from extinction through the continued expansion of the 5 core project areas we support  EDUCATION: We fund Eco-Education camps where rural children learn about their mountain environment, eco-system, snow leopards and their prey and are provided with “top up” schooling by teachers. These children will grow up to be their communities’ leaders and their attitudes and behaviour will be key to the snow leopard’s survival.  LIVESTOCK INSURANCE: We help set up sustainable livestock insurance programmes. When a member of an insurance programme loses livestock to a carnivore attack the livestock is replaced, thus preventing any retribution killings of snow leopards by the herder taking place.  ECONOMIC ENTERPRISE: Women herders typically get pennies rather than pounds when they sell raw wool fleece to traders. However when raw wool is spun in to yarn it fetches five times more in price. We purchase spinning  wheels for the women herders, train them to spin wool and make handicrafts and then provide an international market place to sell their finished products. By doing this a herder family’s annual income can double or treble and the participating herder families agree that no snow leopards will be killed in the landscape of their rural community.  LIVESTOCK VACCINATION:  In some areas herders lose more livestock to disease rather than predator attacks. By paying for the vaccination of their livestock the herders agree not to kill any snow leopards even if they lose some livestock to predators.   SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH:  Until recently relatively little was known about the behaviour of snow leopards living in the wild. We support the first long term scientific research camp based in the Tost Valley in the South Gobi. By monitoring population densities of snow leopards and their prey we can judge how best to support their survival in the wild. 'Every donation made to snow leopard conservation is important and gratefully received. Thank you for joining us in our mission to save this magnificent species from extinction, and helping some of the poorest people living on the fringes of the world improve their livelihoods.'

Yarrow (UK, XR22094) Browse events

Most of us are used to taking control of our own lives – deciding how we want to live. For people with learning disabilities, this isn’t always the case. At Yarrow, it is. Now in our 24th year, we constantly push boundaries of conventional support so that people - including those with profound disabilities like Lydia - remain independent. Lydia doesn’t use speech. But she has always enjoyed looking at photographs. So Yarrow has gathered together her favourites and put them on a computer, along with pictures that Lydia has taken herself with a digital camera. Next up, Lydia was introduced to a big red switch to use as a mouse to help her click through her pictures.  It took Lydia just three sessions with Yarrow’s support for her to make the connection that pressing the big red switch made the pictures change.  Lydia’s photos are organised into categories - activities she enjoys, holidays, day trips, favourite cafes and shopping, so she can choose what she looks at.  She now uses the photos to tell us what she wants to do and to live the life she wants to lead.  You can see Lydia using the big red switch in the photo gallery.
