Our Aim is to provide food and education for children living in shacks in Sir Lowry's Pass Village, near Cape Town in South Africa. We started in 2003 with a Feeding Scheme in the village, followed by the opening of our Creche in 2004. The four houses we built to comprise our Children’s Village were opened in 2010, and in that same year the Hope and Light Primary School was opened. 6 years later, we now have 6 grades of children, each with not more than 27 in a class. We continue to provide breakfast and lunch, and transport in our own School Bus to and from school, all forming part of a complete support package at the school. In the UK, we work to raise funds to support the ongoing projects in South Africa. Our primary aim is to find sponsors for individual children living in shanty houses in Sir Lowry's Pass Village. The sponsorship funds are invaluable in enabling the support, education, and feeding of the child throughout their time in the care of Hope and Light. The children are taught in English, as this will be of most help when they leave school and seek employment in the tourist area in which they live.

Based in Nottinghamshire. OUR AIMS: Exercise, Therapy, Fun through Horse-Riding for children with disabilities, whatever their physical, sensory or learning impairment. The HORSE makes the difference. WHY? Exercise is essential for healthy bodies and minds. Without it, well-being is damaged. Muscles deteriorate through lack of use. Thought processes become dull and disengaged. HOW? Our VOLUNTEERS aim to change inevitable outcomes – with fresh air, exercise stimulated by the horse, incentive to think ahead by being in charge for a change – all whilst having FUN.Many riders cannot be active any other way. Those with learning challenges may not see the need and lack the will to try. The HORSE stimulates: the RIDER responds. Rhythmic movement is calming for challenging conditions with consequential benefits for families and friends. We involve PARENTS, who relish respite from the stress of constant clinical appointments. They enjoy interaction with their child in a fun setting. Or if they prefer to sit and relax, we can offer that too. Opportunities for sharing experiences socially between parents is enormously beneficial for peace of mind. VOLUNTEERS are trained. They flourish in giving their support. Evidence of riders’ achievement is rewarding, improving volunteers’ own fitness and well-being. Young Volunteers learn and gain valuable life skills, benefitting future employment. Older Volunteers find new purpose in retirement. We bridge the generation gap in sharing expertise.

Tower Hamlets Foodbank works to combat hidden hunger within the local community. Tower Hamlets foodbank opened in December 2010 with the aim to provide emergency food to individuals and families facing crisis in Tower Hamlets. Since then we have fed over 6,000 people - 2,700 of whom have been children. Despite being home to Canary Wharf, Tower Hamlets has the highest level of child poverty in the UK – 25% of all households in the borough survive on less that £15,000 a year. Whether it’s due to a financial emergency, benefit change, mental illness or debt, many in Tower Hamlets are one unexpected bill away from having to visit a foodbank. All foodbank clients are referred through our network of care–professional agencies across the borough who are best placed to identify clients in need of emergency food. Our network of care-professionals includes GP’s, Social Workers, Health Visitors and Children’s Centers. Food is distributed at a foodbank centre where clients receive light refreshments, a listening ear, and emotional support/advice, whilst being signposted on to where they can get help to tackle the crisis they find themselves in. They also receive their much-needed donation of food, enough to last three days - which is the period assessed as the time it takes for the appropriate agencies to be in a position to assist. We are also working in partnership with the Child Poverty Action Group to provide welfare advice in our foodbank sessions to tackle the underlying cause of the crisis. So not only does your donation help to provide food but it also helps to tackle the underlying cause of food poverty. All food distributed is donated by the local community via supermarket collections, individuals, schools, businesses, community groups as well as churches, which is then ‘banked’ in a warehouse. Tower Hamlets Foodbank is a community project and so greatly relies on the generosity of the public – we would greatly appreciate your support so as to continue to provide this much needed service. Tower Hamlets Foodbank is coordinated by the charity First Love Foundation. For further information, please email us at [email protected].
