Whiteley Village provides almshouse accomodation for older people of limited means. Founded over 100 years ago by the legacy of William Whiteley, the Village has more than 250 cottages, along with a shop & post office, bar/club and village hall, bowling green, 9-hole golf course and putting green, two churches, allotments and fishing lake. There is a wide range of social and activity clubs (from Art to Whist), a bus service, and outings arranged on a regular basis. The majority of the Villagers live independent lives, as singles or couples, in the magnificent Grade II listed cottages but the Whiteley Homes Trust also provides a Welfare Service to all Villagers. The Village also has a Care Centre and an Extra-Care Facility (both of which have been rated 'Excellent' by the CQC) and can provide domiciliary care. The Cottages now need modernisation to meet today's living standards. We have already spent c. £28m, improving six of the eight sections: we need to raise £6m more to complete the work. Please be generous in your support and help us to provide for the next generation of older people who cannot afford their own homes. Thank you.

A Charitable Trust promoting the education of young people Registered charity no. 1145079 www.xlltrust.org The UK based XLL Educational Trust was established in 2010 to provide sponsorship and bursaries to the Summit Schools in Maragua, Kenya so that orphans and poor students can have an education. Your donation will help transform the life of a child at The Summit Schools. It costs just £500 to provide one year’s education and full domestic support for a child at Summit. One hundred pounds allows a boarder to extend their stay at school during the vacations, in cases where returning to their home environment is considered by the school not to be in the child’s best interests. To support a day student who is still able to live with a relative, the cost is just £300.

Deaf Access provide a holistic range of services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing adults and children to improve and maintain their independence by providing information, support and services, as well as promoting public awareness and understanding. Deafness is not cute, does not tug on the heartstrings and people often think it is ‘less serious’ when they compare disabilities. Yet for the 1 in 6 adults & children with a hearing loss, being unable to follow conversation, missing vital information or social chit chat can have a devastating emotional impact. Their deafness cuts them off from people, their families, friends, groups and services- which negatively affects their independence, mental health and well being. In July 2010 BSMHD quoted the 2010 GP Survey statistics showing that Deaf people are the most discriminated against and most deprived in the country. They are far more likely to be unemployed; 13% compared to national average of 4%, have worse than average physical health-14% compared to 6%, those with poor health are 10% compared to national average of 6%. Deaf people are more likely to be a Carer; 26% compared to 9%. Crucially the mental wellbeing of the Deaf Community is far worse than the national average-10% of Deaf people having a psychological or emotional Condition, compared to 6%. This astonishing evidence is just a small example of why specialist support resource centres like Deaf Access are vitally needed.Your money will help us to be there for them- and you- when you need us by getting through the recession and cut backs- together we can make a difference! On behalf of Deaf Access, may we thank you for considering supporting us. Sue Craney Executive Director of Deaf Access Visit our Website at www.deaf-access.co.uk

With Your Valued Donations, We Will Continue Our Projects To Raise Awareness And Help Children And Young People Achieve Their Full Potential. Integrate UK is a charity run by young people for young people using the language and media of today to put important issues on everyone’s agenda.Everything we highlight is important and serious, from Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) to domestic violence, extremism, forced marriage and drug abuse. But we’re not averse to taking a quirky or lighthearted method of approaching difficult topics in a way that young people can really take on board and will want to share with their friends.We make music videos and short dramas and come into schools, after school clubs and other community settings to talk about the issues we’re raising.Terrible abuses continue to take place in Britain every day. But it can appear they’re not happening because nobody is talking about them. We’re making it our job to make sure survivors know that they’re not alone, that awareness about these issues is being raised.We have helped to place FGM at the forefront of the national news agenda, with our young people regularly called upon to comment upon ending the practice.Donate and help us get more young voices heard, today.
