(UK, 1171885) Browse eventsRaffingers Foundation was formed in 2016 by colleagues at Raffingers. The charity was created in memory of Jason Kew, a dear husband and friend, who sadly lost his life to pancreatic cancer, as well as to honour those family members of the firm who have been lost to ovarian cancer. Approximately, 4% of pancreatic cancer survivors will live for up to five years after being diagnosed; this figure is 46% for those affected by ovarian cancer. The heartache these cancers cause and the bleak statistics, stirred the colleagues at Raffingers into action. Now, this volunteer lead charity donates every single penny it raises towards helping those affected by these cancers. This is done in two ways:· · 1. Money donated directly to Pancreatic Cancer Research UK and Ovarian Cancer Action to help fund scientific research, specialist staff and equipment· 2. A proportion of the money is given directly to families affected by these cancers and experiencing financial difficulties. This money is used to help with costs, such as private counselling for any family members, training and equipment (email [email protected] to find out more)We greatly appreciate all donations and hope you will check this page often to see what events we have coming up.

Our vision is that vulnerable and isolated people in Ryedale, across the North York Moors to the coast at Lythe can lead a healthy and fulfilling life in control of their lifestyle choices. Older people have specific vulnerability because of loss of friends, mobility and income. The activities and volunteer support provided by Ryedale Carers Support identifies new and innovative ways of addressing these problems. Social isolation is proven to be a major factor in the lack of well-being of people leading to depression, lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. In addition to 1:1 volunteer friendships we would like to develop 2 flagship activities: 1. Lythe Farmers Breakfast is already in existence and provides a monthly group to enable those who are less able to interact and find themselves isolated, to meet for a chat and refreshments and listen to a rural or locally inspire 2.We want to start a quarterly musical event in Ryedale with professional good quality professional musicians. We would provide free transport to both events as this is often a barrier to participation in a very rural area. Both events would be free as lack of income can also be a barrier. By keeping people connected we hope that those who have become isolated in these very rural communities will be able to find friendship and regular social activities on their doorstep, and so provide the right type of support at the right time, which is crucial to the maintenance of health and well-being
Many Dental professionals are unaware of the huge potential that the combined value of removed restorations represents. We believe patients, professionals and the public are united in the belief that this money is best used for the greater good - to help the many children’s charities across the country in their vital work. That’s why we make it possible for value driven dental practice to make a big difference - collecting and turning restorations and old donated jewellery, into cash - which becomes income for children’s charities. Why Gold For Kids? As dentists ourselves, we know that there is value in the restorations and precious metals we recover from patients. Traditionally, due to the relatively low value of a single restoration, that value was retained. But what if that value could be multiplied and used to benefit some of the most vulnerable children in the UK? This is why Gold For Kids was created. Where does the money go? Gold For Kids currently partners with Barnardos and NSPCC, with a view to expand our support to other childrens’ charities as our partnerships grow. Currently resourced entirely by volunteers, our registered charity status means that in the future, the costs of operating the charity will be covered by the gift aid recovered on donations, so the value of your donation is what is transferred to the charity. How can you help? By showing your support through a cash donation, old jewellery or discarded dental restorations.

The Church Hall and the Old Boys School in Braughing, owned by the Church of England have served the local community for generations, diversifying its offering over the years to keep up with local need. However, in recent years, due to dwindling income at St Mary’s Church, they are no longer able to maintain these precious community buildings and faced the prospect of closure and sale in 2022. Following significant resistance from the local community, a small group of local residents was formed to explore the options available, and the church agreed to work together to save these buildings for future generations to come. In July 2023, the Charity Commission approved an application for a new charity called Braughing Old Boys School Community Trust. Trustees are now in negotiations with the church about options for future ownership of these buildings. The trust aims to enhance, preserve, maintain and invigorate these historic buildings for the wider benefit of the community, which will serve as a gathering place for the local community and visitors to the village. Funding is required by the trust to secure the future ownership of these buildings and enable significant investment in the buildings and improve the facilities, reflecting the needs of modern day Braughing.
