YTD Raised: £939.00
(UK, 1164620) A brain injury is life changing. For that reason alone, there needs to be more support for people affected. That is why I have registered my own charity, PAUL For Brain Recovery, to help fill the gap in the community. The vision of the charity is: - To educate and inspire people affected by brain recovery - To make life easier after brain injury - To promote brain wellbeing for everyone PAUL For Brain Recovery will endeavour to offer a quality peer-to-peer support service in the community. I have thankfully lived through brain recovery so I know what’s needed. I have recovered well enough to try and help others and make a difference. With your support, we can achieve more. You can help with our ambition to raise awareness and help others by: - Getting involved in our events by taking part - Organising your own event and fundraise for the charity - Volunteering your time to the charity - Donating to or sponsoring the charity The PAUL For Brain Recovery Centre - Hull Once you leave hospital you find your biggest challenge is only just starting. A new and completely different life is in front of you. The centre will provide support to those who need it, the brain injured and their families, and the centre will offer guidance through inspirational and motivational talks and educational sessions on topics from coping strategies to healthy nutrition, fitness, recovery and well being. Associates of the PAUL charity, including leading brain injury specialists, will also provide support. Visitors will be able to take part in a number of specifically designed physical and mental activities to help stimulate and progress their minds and memories, with all regular visitors having their progress tracked each month to highlight steps forward in their recovery portfolio.

Stroud and District Citizens Advice Bureau Limited
(UK, 1096398) Browse events
YTD Raised: £911.02Welcome! Our Citizens Advice Bureau provides advice in the Stroud District in Gloucestershire. In our last financial year we helped 3,350 individuals who raised a total of 9,200 issues with us. For many of these people, I feel we are the real fourth emergency service. But we are a charity and funding limits what we can do. And our funding has been hit by the cuts. So if you want to make a real difference to lives in the Stroud District, please give generously! Every pound helps. If you would like to help in other ways - for example organising a coffee morning, undertaking a sponsored challenge or other event to support the bureau please let me know. Peter Rowe (Trustee) Tel: 01452 813228 The Citizens Advice service provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities.

Blackthorn Garden exists to assist individuals (known as co-workers) with a range of mental and physical health conditions, to build or gain confidence and self-esteem and to develop life and work skills. A varied and healthy work community is formed alongside staff and volunteers. The work undertaken in various workshops contributes to recovery and generates income to help sustain the work here. Standards are high, so many customers from the local community value the fruits of this labour. Working the land, living by the seasons, growing plants, preparing good food and serving others in a simple and light-filled environment or expressing their creativity through craft work, offer the conditions that encourage recovery. A respect for all that lives helps cultivate the healthy and responsive side of each person, however ill he or she might be.
