(UK, EW00195) Browse eventsPromise to Amalia was set up in January 2013 by Amalia's parents, after she was born asleep in December 2012. They wanted to keep their promise to make her imprint on the world a positive one, by helping those less fortunate than she would have been. Promise to Amalia is currently helping a local underprivileged school in Sri Lanka and hopes to use this as a platform to further support children and their families in need. Our website www.promisetoamalia.org.uk will be available soon with more details. As a new charity, regular support would not only ensure the sustainability of Promise to Amalia, but it would also allow us to plan ahead and take on larger projects to help those in need. We would deeply appreciate any donation, however small. Even £2 per month could make a huge difference. There is so much we want to do and can do, but only with your help. We are aware that the monthly donation options on Virgin Money Giving start at £10. This is a standard template, which is unfortunately beyond our control. There is of course an 'other' option, for any alternative amounts you may wish to donate. Thank you for your support and generosity.

The immediate aim is to raise £10,000 to rescue an excellent Kenyan school from facing administration and the consequential abandonment of orphans. Climbing Mt. Kenya to support Kitengela Academy, Kenya In August, 2010, six of us from the UK and 4 Kenyan teachers will be come together as a group to undertake the arduous task of climbing Mount Kenya in order to raise funds for Kitengela Academy, Kitengela, Nairobi. We aim to raise £10,000 of sponsorship in order to rescue an excellent Kenyan school from facing administration and the abandonment of the orphans that they currently provide free education to, clearing the bank loans that they have on existing buildings and the associated annual interest. It is a private fee paying school, but they currently accommodate 20 pupils free of charge, as they are orphans and have no relatives to take care of their education. Facebook Group - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=239011618310 Mt. Kenya Mt Kenya stands at 5,199m/17,057ft. It is a stratovolcano with very steep, eroded slopes. The lower levels are covered with forest, then the landscape changes to a desert-like environment whilst there are currently 11 small glaciers towards the peak. It will take approximately seven days to both ascend and descend the mountain and the combination of uneven slopes, dramatically changing landscapes and climates and high altitude (hopefully without the associated altitude sickness) will present significant challenge on what will be the first major hiking/climbing experiences for the majority of the group. Kitengela Academy Kitengela Academy is an independent school in Kenya, where, for a small fee, pupils from the ages to 4 to 14 are able to access an excellent Kenyan education. Sarah developed links with this school in 2005 as an educational partnership with Edward Wilson School, in Paddington. Sarah and several former colleagues have taught in Kitengela Academy and maintained personal relationships with the school and the teachers ever since. The school has excellent values and aims to prepare pupils for the Global 21st Century whilst continuing to highlight the importance of local values and customs. The school is owned and managed by Mrs Pamela Juma who currently provides free education, food and board for 20 local, orphaned children. It costs approximately £600 per year to provide each child with board, food, educational fees, exam costs, books, pencils and other school requirements. Whilst it is more expensive to send a child to an independent school than to a government school, the benefits to the child are immense. Whilst in Kenya, Sarah has also visited many government schools, with classes of over 100 pupils. Currently, it is the independent sector that offers children, especially orphaned children, the greatest future prospects of a University education, a job/profession and economic stability. Charity Information Sarah has recently become a Director on the governing board of Kitengela Academy and we intend to register this school as a UK charity. Through our climbing endeavours, we aim to clear the debts of the school to ensure that it can be self-sufficient whilst supporting orphaned children. We also intend to provide ongoing support in terms of expertise and additional resources and hope to find donors to sponsor individual children. The Cullis Charitable Trust (registered charity no 266375) enables us to collect donations in a tax efficient way. All monies raised will go directly to the school and we will be closely involved in directing how the money is used. The cost of flights, accommodation, etc, will be paid individually by each climber. Other direct ways to donate: Your support can save a school and directly change the lives of hundreds of children in Africa, giving them the opportunity to educate themselves and achieve great things for their community. Thank you for making this possible. Alex, Sarah, David, Karen, Adam & Josie

Powerchair Football is a unique sport that provides opportunities for people with a high level of impairment to access football. This means it is the only active team participation sport for Powerchair users. The sport is fast paced, dynamic and enjoyable to watch. Due to the unique nature of the Powerchair Football it allows all ages, disabilities and both genders to compete together. We do not just provide sporting opportunity, powerchair football also provides a great social opportunity for the players and their families as they experience the highs and lows of participating in the nation’s favourite sport. With 45 Powerchair Football clubs across England and a competition pathway from recreational activity, into a National League, up to representing England on the world stage, the sport continues to grow rapidly. The WFA are currently delivering a three year Inclusive Sport project, funded by Sport England. We have three regional development officers who are out running Powerchair Football festivals, delivering coaching sessions, recruiting new players and helping to set up new clubs. We could talk about Powerchair Football all day, but here is what some of the players say: Niamh O’Reilly, Sevenoaks PFC: I realised that through Powerchair football not only did I benefit from the joys of physically participating in sport again but during that time I had become far more sociable and had made many new relationships with fellow players. I had also blossomed into a far more sociable and happy character and found myself feeling more confident in both who I am and in my body, something I had never previously felt. Jon Bolding, England Captain: “I have been lucky to play the sport for a number of years. I have dreamt that one day I would be able to lead my Country and to pit my wits against the best of the Powerchair footballing world. The sport has given me so much and you just can’t beat the feeling of scoring goals!” Your donations will be used to change the lives of people who would not have been able to play the sport they love without your assistance. The WFA would like to thank you on behalf of all the players, coaches, fans and staff for your support for Powerchair Football. Thank you, you are amazing!

This may involve daily return journeys five days a week for up to six weeks at a time when patients are recovering from surgery and often also from chemotherapy treatment. The Friends of Basingstoke & North Hampshire Radiotherapy Cancer Service began fundraising in 2009 and the charity RadCan was registered in 2011. Since 2009 the group have lobbied local healthcare representatives on the need for a local facility and it has now been confirmed that a dedicated cancer centre will be built in the north of Hampshire. The Centre will provide chemotherapy, radiotherapy, palliative care, core therapies and complementary therapies.

(UK, 244075) Browse eventsHighway Projects is an organisation committed to supporting, befriending and working for disadvantaged people across the Middle East Highway Projects was set up in 1997 as a response to invitations from the Church in the Middle East to involve Christians in practical mission work. The focus of its work is amongst disadvantaged people from across the religious divide, especially within the Arab community. Over the years the work has taken us along the roads and into the towns and cities of the Holy Lands in which Jesus once walked, taught, healed, preached, died and came back to life. Our aim, ‘Sharing God’s love in Christ through word and deed’, is all about following in those footsteps and offering a genuine, creative, radical model of Christianity that shares our faith by giving others an opportunity to see it in friendship and action, and allows them to ask the questions about what we believe and why we do what we do. Our projects range from work with the elderly, the disabled, children, young people, practical work and reconciliation projects. Whether you are here to make a donation to support the work, or set up a fundraising page, we thank you for your support.
