The aim of Ellas Memory is to provide practical help to parents who have suffered the loss of a still born baby. Our charitable organisation was started in 2010 in memory of our daughter Ella. In May 2011 we completed the renovation of the Daisy Suite at Treliske Hospital in Truro, this is a special facility set aside from the busy ward where parents can come to terms with their loss in private and comfortable surroundings. Ellas Memory now maintain and look after the suite for the Hospital and we also supply the fantastic staff with memory equipment such as a camera, fleece blankets, small teddy bears, special inkless wipes and bedding so that the parents can compile special memories of their precious babies. Our new project for 2012 is to renovate a second side room on the ward which is currently used as a second suite for parents. The on going support is greatly appreciated by everyone at Ellas Memory and Treliske Hospital. Thank you

Education is one of the greatest gifts that can be granted to an individual. It gives opportunity: the opportunity to develop personally and academically; the opportunity to make choices that would otherwise not be available; above all the opportunity to help others, whether socially, practically or by the sharing of knowledge and expertise. At the University of Bradford we are proud of our commitment to education across geographical, social and cultural boundaries and to the celebration of the diversity of the people who are educated here. We recruit the highest proportion of students from comparatively poor backgrounds and BME origins of any UK university, and more than 100 nationalities are represented amongst our 12,000 students. Our spirit is truly inclusive and internationalist. Our emphasis is, and has always been, not only on the fundamental values of a university education and equipping our students for the world of work, reflected in our motto Making Knowledge Work, but also on creating a powerful and transformative environment which demonstrates that it is possible to make a difference in the world. We work hard to help address some of society's biggest challenges. Our Institute of Cancer Therapeutics is discovering and developing new treatments for cancer, and the Bradford Dementia Group has created specialist tools and techniques to improve the care of people suffering from dementia. We were the first university to offer a degree in Peace Studies and are home to one of Europe's top 25, full-service business schools, as ranked by The Financial Times. We are proud that our alumni, staff and students are making real and tangible improvements to the world, both now and for the future. During the last Research Assessment Exercise, two-thirds of Bradford's academics were entered, of which 80% were deemed to be producing research of "international" and "world-leading" quality. Your generosity could be life-changing; funding scholarships, hardship support, learning, teaching and research facilities and ensuring that we continue to attract the very brightest students and essential research funding in today's highly competitive environment. Your contributions to The Braduate Fund will directly enhance the Bradford university experience for thousands of students and so shape the minds of the future.

The Friends of Westfield School (FOWS) is a registered charity set up to fundraise for Westfield Arts College which is a special school catering for the needs of 180 pupils aged 5 - 19 with moderate/complex learning difficulties situated in Weymouth. Nearly half of the students also have a diagnosis of Autism. Westfield is in an area that has significant social and economic deprivation with 34% of the pupils being entitled to Free School Meals. FOWS is currently raising funds for stage two of the playground improvements. FOWS is run by a group of parents, staff and interested stakeholders of the school. All funds raised are used to buy (or contribute towards) equipment, minibuses, building projects etc. as requested by the school for the enrichment of the school experience for the pupils. Stage one of the playground improvements was completed in October 2013 and has been a huge success with the children. This included creating the structure for further developments as well new climbing equipment, swings, cone climber and monkey bars as well as a Multi use games area (MUGA). Stage two will see the inclusion of road tracks for bikes and scooters, shaded areas and seating to name but a few. Many of the children had found it very difficult to cope with being in such a large unstructured area causing them high levels of anxiety which translates into unacceptable behaviour. Stage one has dealt with many of these issues. The school now wants to build on this success to produce an exciting, stimulating, safe play area that meets the diverse needs of all the pupils. This will continue to develop and improve the childrens self confidence, increase their ablity to learn through play, improve their social skills, their fitness and their sense of well-being. A team of staff from Westfield will be taking part in the Rock solid Race in Exeter and are seeking your sponsorship for this challenge. The event consist of a 10km race with 27 obstacles. The team will be pushed to ther max. Against the clock they will be running, jumping, crawling, pulling and climbing all the way from start to finish. It will be wet, muddy and very challenging!!

Sacred Heart is a wonderfully nurturing environment for a diverse community of children. It is an environment like no other due in part to the school motto 'Service Before Self' being truly alive in every child from 3 through 16. It has a unique approach thanks to the Sisters and staff members working together to foster a safe space for all learners and all abilities. Over the years the school has moved from being a predominantly fee-paying school to one where many families and students would have been unable to benefit from our wonderful school and facilities without the aid of bursaries. The Sisters who help run the school (many of whom featured in Bad Habits, Holy Orders first broadcast on Channel 5 in 2017) have subsidised the school over the past few years as the social and economic landscape around us has changed, by selling off assets such as properties in order for the school to continue. Sacred Heart School believed the way forwards was to convert to a Free School under professional advise, and put great energies and time in to doing so. Sadly however, this was not possible as the Free School criteria was changed after the snap election in summer 2017 and Sacred Heart no longer met the requirements. Sacred Heart is now in the position where if nothing else changes the entire school will close it's doors in July 2019. We desperately wish to continue this offering, and greatly appreciate all donations made to help save our school.
