YTD Raised: £1,070.00
(UK, 209617) The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of blind and partially sighted people never leave home alone. Guide Dogs empowers visually impaired people to do that and relies totally on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service. We breed and train guide dogs which provide life changing mobility and there are currently 4,500 working guide dog partnerships in the UK. The full lifetime cost of a guide dog from birth to retirement is £48,500. We will not rest until blind and partially sighted people can enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else.

The OHMI Trust
(UK, 1143623) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,060.00A charity breaking down barriers to music making for physically disabled people. Orchestral instruments that can be played without two fully functioning hands are extremely rare. This denies unlimited participation in musical life, at the highest level, to millions, including people with congenital disabilities and amputees as well as those who may have been injured, suffered a stroke or developed arthritis. The primary obstacle is the absence of suitable instruments. Finding instruments... The OHMI Trust was formed in 2011 and is doing ground breaking work by solving this problem through an annual competition. Through the competition we now have instruments of an exceptionally high standard that are playable without the use of one hand/arm. With these instruments, the OHMI Trust is launching a pioneering music teaching project in Birmingham, where 15 children aged between 7 and 11 years of age with an upper limb disability have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. The children will work with world class musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and get the best quality teaching from specially selected teachers from Services for Education in Birmingham. This is an extroardinary opportunity for children with upper limb disabilities to learn alongside their peers, without any limitations imposed by their instrument. Teaching instruments... The OHMI Trust is currently raising funds to roll this pilot scheme out to Bristol and Surrey in the near future and aims eventually for this provision to become part of core music education, so having a disability is not a barrier to music-making at the highest level. Raising awareness of the current inequality... We also do what we can to raise awareness with governments, musical instrument makers and others so that together we can work towards practical solutions that will allow those with physical disabilities have completely equal access to musical participation at whatever level they choose. All donations will help OHMI to continue our extroardinary work in breaking down barriers to music participation for those with disabilities.
