Stepping Stones (luton) (UK, 1162349) Browse events

Operating since 2008, Stepping Stones is a charity (1162349) dedicated to helping vulnerable women and their children turn their lives around. With a base in Luton and outreach in Central Bedfordshire we are a women-centred organisation In the UK, 1 in 3 women over 16 has experienced domestic abuse. 2 women a week are killed by a partner or ex-partner. Shockingly, 1/5th of children are exposed to domestic abuse either directly or as a witness. There were over 12,000 domestic abuse related incidents and crimes in Bedfordshire in 2017/18 alone. (Office for National Statistics). Every year we support almost 600 women and their children who face multiple disadvantages and deprivations such as poverty, ill-health, substance misuse, domestic abuse and mental health issues. 80% have experienced domestic abuse and 63% are unemployed. Over the last year we have seen an increase in issues around mental health, finance and debt, all affecting the ability of women achieving independence. In many cases the families we support have children on Child Protection registers or Children in Need Plans. Our compassionate support enables these vulnerable women to recover from trauma and take positive decisions to reduce future risks. Those affected are living in fear, often becoming isolated from family and friends. They live with conflicting emotions of anger, shame and resentment, reducing their self-esteem and often leading to depression. Many cannot afford to leave their abusive partner even if they wanted to. Domestic abuse has a devastating impact on children and young people leading to behavioural and emotional problems that can last into adulthood. Children who have witnessed abusive relationships can become involved in such relationships in later life, as victims or perpetrators.

Kit Tarka Foundation (UK, 1178030) Browse events

Our mission: To prevent neonatal deaths through research and education. Our vision: Babies who are born healthy stay healthy. Preventable neonatal deaths in the UK are eliminated. The Kit Tarka Foundation (KTF) was established after Sarah Higson and James de Malplaquet's son Kit Tarka died from neonatal herpes at just 13 days old.Neonatal herpes is a devastating virus which can ravage a new baby's body in a matter of days and, even if treated, can cause death or long term health problems such as brain damage or cerebral palsy. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) which can be transmitted before, during or after birth from the mother or another individual in close contact with the baby. HSV was not suspected in Kit until it was too late so he never received the antivirals which would most likely have saved his life.We know of no other UK charity which initiates and funds research into prevention of neonatal deaths so KTF was formed with a mission to prevent newborn baby deaths through research and education. We are determined to do all we can to prevent more families from going through the devastating tragedy Sarah and James have endured.Our initial projects will focus on neonatal herpes but in the longer term, the aim is for KTF to fund projects relating to all causes of preventable neonatal death.
