Family Caring Trust (UK, XN73838) Browse events

Family Caring Trust has been a 'silent partner' in family and children’s services since 1986. We publish low-cost, evidence-based, easy to use programmes in kit form, which are used by community, voluntary and public sector services all over the UK and Ireland in their work with parents, young people and couples. Our programmes are valued because they take a common-sense approach which is respectful of both parents and children. The kit format makes life easier for busy professionals who can use them 'on the run' and for novice facilitators who can lean on the script, the DVD input and full instructions provided. This approach to universal provision has enabled over half a million people to experience our programmes since 1986. External evaluations of our parenting programmes have provided evidence of impact using a number of validated measures.  We also provide Initial Training in our programmes and have an OCN level 3 accredited programme available for those who don’t already have qualifications in work with parents.

Invisible Children (UK, 1128466) Browse events

Invisible Children uses the power of media to inspire young people to help end the longest running war in Africa. Our model has proven effective, and hundreds of thousands of people have been called to action through our films and the volunteers that tour them.   Our approach to humanitarian work is founded in the strength and intelligence of the Ugandan community. We learned early on it was not only important but essential to heed the wisdom of people that had not only lived in the war, but were surviving it. People who would know better than anyone what the greatest needs were and the best ways to meet them.   What we came to find is that while there have been many efforts to address the issues that stem from living and fighting in such a long-lasting war, the people of Uganda are asking for a future beyond the conflict. Their pleas have become our development strategy.   All of our programming is a partnership between those of us at Invisible Children and those in the Ugandan community. We focus on long-term goals that enable children to take responsibility for their future and the future of their country. Our programs are carefully researched and developed initiatives that address the need for quality education, mentorships, the redevelopment of schools, resettlement from the camps, and financial stability.

FreyaBeya (UK, 1118186) Browse events

Freya was a beautiful little girl, born in 1999 with several life-limiting conditions. She was never expected to see her 1st birthday but she celebrated 5 birthdays, each one with a big noisy party in the garden.  She communicated in her own special way, mostly by touch and she had the most infectious giggle. Her gorgeous rose-bud lips were adorable and they framed a fabulous smile. She was a joy to spend time with and everyone who met her could not stop themselves falling in love with her. Freya died on the 14th December 2004, at home surrounded by lights, music, and her family. She leaves behind a fantastic big brother Tom and has left a huge gap in our lives, one that we will never fill. Freya loved music and it became a huge part of our life, it provided valuable therapy for her and always soothed her if she was in pain. In Freya’s memory I have set up a charity called FreyaBeya which raises money to enable special needs school to buy in live music. The Arts are sadly very much forgotten within the narrow constraints of the National Curriculum!  FreyaBeya gives total freedom to teachers to introduce children to ANY type of music, allowing it to be child-led rather than curriculum-led. THIS IS A HUGE PLUS!!  The music ranges from Soundabout-type stuff (resonance boards right through to high-tech sound beams) through to any type of genre, depending on what motivates the child. Thank you for supporting FreyaBeya   Sarah-Jayne -  Freya’s Mama.
