St Pancras Welfare Trust (UK, 261261) Browse events

Caring In The Heart of Camden Imagine having no-one to help you in times of need or sickness. Who would you turn to? Who can offer a helping hand? The only answer for many people living in Camden, young or old, is the St Pancras Welfare Trust. The object of the Trust is to help residents of the former Metropolitan Borough of St Pancras when faced with need or sickness and have nowhere else to turn. A separate trust, the Camelot Trust, supports holidays and school trips for disadvantaged young children. The area of benefit of both trusts lies within the heart of the London Borough of Camden and includes some of the most densely populated parts of the borough, many with high indicators of poverty and need. The most common request is to help people being re-housed - perhaps after years of living rough, living in a hostel or after leaving an institution. They have no resources or possessions and their new homes are usually cold and bare. We help by making small grants in cash or vouchers to buy furniture, bedding and clothes. We also receive requests to help young mums and their children, the frail and elderly and those in need of respite. During the year ending 31st March 2013 we made 164 grants totalling £23,577.  An analysis of grants shows that they directly affected a total of 838 individuals.  Beneficiaries included 9 pensioners, 23 persons suffering mental health problems, 26 persons with disabilities, 16 families being re-housed and 11 families seeking asylum. Your donation or legacy will make an enormous difference. Thank you

Dumfries and Galloway Befriending Project (UK, SC024562) Browse events

Dumfries and Galloway Befriending Project is a charitable body which for 20 years has provided a befriending service to young people aged 8-18 who have been referred by a variety of agencies, predominantly Social Services, Education and NHS. The Project matches vulnerable young people with trained adult volunteers in order to enable them to cope with particular pressures in life and divert them, where appropriate, away from statutory measures of care, social services or criminal justice intervention. Our overall aim is to support and enrich the lives of vulnerable young people across Dumfries and Galloway, through Befriending. Some key activities towards achieving this overall aim are to; -promote friendship and a caring relationship between adult volunteer befrienders and young people in need of support -recruit, train and support volunteers over 18 years of age to become volunteer befrienders -carefully match young people to a volunteer befriender -evaluate the progress made in the young person through goals set on an individual basis DGBP is the only service, as far as we are aware, that provides a befriending service to children and young people 8 to 18 years, in the region through unpaid volunteers. The client group are all vulnerable young people and, on average, over 80 benefit from having a volunteer befriender each year. Being so well established, no advertising of the service takes place, with a waiting list of around 40 young people hoping to be matched with a volunteer befriender. Some quotes from young persons: Before befriending, I didn’t like going to school and I didn’t go outside. E really helped me with my problems. I learned that I could do things I never thought I could. I am not a recluse anymore. I have friends, an active social life and I’m busy and happy. It gave me a big boost. Mum always commented on me looking happier when I came back with A. My befriender makes me happy, helps me be good and makes me smile.

Christians Aware (UK, 328322) Browse events

Christians Aware is an educational, ecumenical and international charity and a member body of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland and Churches Together in England, Scotland and Wales. The charity has a network of people in Britain and around the world. The main links include Africa, India, Mauritius, the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Japan, the Philippines, the Caribbean, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The international visits are mainly to our link communities, following invitations from them. Our visits and exchanges are pilgrimages which challenge those who take part to be open and flexible, to be happy to listen and learn. They offer new experiences, new friendships, new insights and new vocations. We always keep the words of Ronald Wynne in mind. He said, ‘Do not try to teach anyone anything until you have first learnt something from them.’ Other opportunities include pilgrimages, listening days, conferences and courses, the magazine, the books. The hope of all our work is that, through encounter, listening, learning and reflection, understanding and trust may grow between people, including Christians and those of other faiths, who may then work together to overcome injustice.

The Dawn Sailing Barge Trust Limited (UK, 1058939) Browse events

The Dawn Trust Charity was set up with the aid of the Lottery Heritage fund and many generous donations to rebuild the historic Thames “stackie” Sailing Barge Dawn to a sea going condition, maintain and exhibit her for the benefit of the nation and make her available for educational sailing trips and instruction in seamanship for the purpose of instruction of young persons in the principles of discipline, loyalty and good citizenship. SB Dawn is registered as a Dunkirk Little Ship and was damaged in Dover Harbour while taking part in Operation Dynamo. Dawn is also on the National Historic Ships Register. The hard work of rebuilding her to an operational condition is now completed and following a successful first season based at West Mersea in Essex, funding is now required for the ongoing programme of essential maintenance, accommodation improvements, heating, facilities upgrades, restoration and improvement of the original 100 year old refitted equipment. Hopefully with the help of our volunteers and donators, much of this work will be ready for next years sailing season. The aim for next year is to be fully funded and ready for a programme of events such as all the famous Thames Barge Matches where young persons can train in teams for a race crew in a unique type of vessel. Other events planned are involved with Mersea Cadet Week, Mersea and other Regattas around the East Coast, various sailing trips visiting the creeks and old barge quays such as in Bradwell where the Dawn Trust is planning to rebuild the barge quay, again with donation and Lottery funding. We even have plans as a one off to use Essex Wildlife Trust's Abbotts Hall Farm jetty for loading horse feed and hay stacked on deck to deliver for the local supplier to the Household Cavalry in London, a job the Dawn was originally built for in 1897. Let’s just hope we don’t also have to bring back the manure!

We currently run Cubs and Scout sections for over 50 young people from Ightham and the surrounding villages. We welcome both boys and girls aged 7.5 to 14, and adults who wish to join the movement. We also have very strong links to the District Explorer Scout Units for young people aged 14 to 18. Our members enjoy a varied programme of activities to enable them to achieve badges and awards, and are offered opportunities to attend group and district events such as trips, themed activity days, sleepovers and camps.
