Nuzzlets is a small Charity based near York. Our objectives are to provide loving homes for unwanted animals and free access to all children for therapy and education. Particularly welcome are disabled and special needs children and children with life threatening illnesses. We offer many services to the local and wider community and are keen to involve the local community in our work. As many of our animals have been mistreated, we try to educate young people about the cost and long term commitment of looking after animals. We run an animal welfare club, offer work experience, deliver talks to the Beavers, Young Farmers, St John’s Ambulance Cadets and school assemblies. We also visit after school clubs and encourage Duke of Edinburgh students to carry out their service section at Nuzzlets. Activities include walking goats and rabbits, goat and rabbit agility, collecting eggs and stroking all the animals. Many disabled, special needs and terminally ill children visit Nuzzlets, either with their special schools, their families or with the children’s hospice. We also take the animals to the children’s hospice; the animals encourage movement and have a therapeutic effect. More recently we have visited deprived family groups and disabled adults have visited us. We arrange children’s birthday parties for disabled and special needs children. Everyone benefits, both the animals and the children.

Hospices of Hope is the leading palliative care charity in South East Europe and has pioneered services for children and adults with terminal and life-limiting illnesses for 30 years. We believe that everyone deserves the best possible care at the end of life. But in developing countries like Romania, Serbia, Albania and Moldova many patients still die in pain, without being offered any physical, spiritual or emotional comfort. Struggling healthcare systems offer little or nothing in the way of hospice care. Every year more than 70% of adults and children diagnosed with cancer in Romania, will experience unrelieved pain. We have cared for over 40,000 patients and trained over 20,000 medical professionals. The first in-patient hospice opened in the city of Brasov, Romania, in 2002 and a new hospice in Bucharest for patients with advanced cancer was completed in September 2014.

If you are blind or visually impaired, then Somerset Sight can help you. We are a local and independent charity and have been in operation for over 90 years. Although we are based in Taunton, we cover the whole of Somerset. We support visually impaired people of all ages, helping them continue to lead a full and independent life. At our centre in Taunton we have a Resource and Rehabilitation Centre where we provide a wide range of equipment for visually impaired people and specialist advice. We also have a Mobile Resource Unit which visits towns and villages across the county ensuring more people in this rural area can access our services. Many visually impaired people feel intensely lonely and isolated. Loss of independence and social exclusion often follow a diagnosis of sight loss. To counteract these problems, Somerset Sight provides volunteer visitors and arranges social afternoons to enable visually impaired people to get out and about in their communities and meet other people. If you or someone you know has a visual impairment or if you are a carer for a visually impaired person, the people at Somerset Sight are able to provide help and practical advice.
