Ice Cool Kids (UK, 1114782) Browse events

Ice Cool Kids is a local charity raising money to teach groups of local special needs children skiing, both in this country and abroad. These children have a variety of conditions some of which are life limiting. Our aim is to allow these very special children the opportunity to experience an activity from which they would normally be excluded. Participating in this therapeutic activity not only allows them to fulfil a dream but also brings a huge sense of fun, enjoyment and achievement. Skiing helps promote co-ordination, balance, movement control and general health and well being. It enables the children to develop their functional abilities and to reach their full potential, so improving their independence and quality of life. All of these children have special needs and sadly there is no cure for many of the conditions they have, but all will benefit from this chance to develop themselves, it will give them the opportunity to reach for their dreams http://icecoolkids.homestead.com/index.html

FD-UK Familial Dysautonomia formally known as DSGB (UK, 285399) Browse events

FDUK is a UK based charity to help support sufferers of Familial Dysautonomia and their families. One of the charitys main aims is to raise awareness in the community of FD as well as educate and help those with the condition. However, the condition is very rare and the charity is small and based in North London meaning many people around the country are unaware of it. The fear that the charity has is that there maybe people with the condition that are being diagnosed incorrectly and not receiving the correct treatment. The condition Familial dysautonomia (FD, used to be known as Riley Day syndrome) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system which affects the sensory, sympathetic and some parasympathetic neurons in the autonomic and sensory nervous system resulting in variable symptoms including: insensitivity to pain, inability to produce tears, development delay, frequent lung infection caused by reflux or poor swallowing and labile blood pressure (episodic hypertension and postural hypotension). The charity Familial Dysautonomia United Kingdom (FDUK) is a charity set up to help support sufferers of FD and their families. Formally known as DSGB, the charity strives to raise awareness of the condition in the community. Its aim is also to raise money to fund individual medical needs and requirements, as well as to pay for specialised doctors in the condition to come to London to hold clinics to assess the FD sufferers and guide UK doctors in their specialised expertise. The charity is always looking for ways to spread awareness or raise money to support the sufferers. If you are able to help with either of these, please contact the group admin and they will be able to direct you.

Medical Assistance Sierra Leone (UK, 1105330) Browse events

  Medical Assistance Sierra Leone was established in 2003 with the aim of supporting access to health care and urgent medical treatment for communities and individuals in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is the poorest country in the world (UNDP 2004), with high infant mortality and globally the worst maternal mortality rates. Sierra Leone's health infrastructure clearly requires support at all levels. However there are specific strategic areas where an input of resources can be expected to begin to save lives, improve health and well-being and better enable individuals to meet the vast development challenges facing their families and communities. MASL focuses on three areas of work longterm: Reducing maternal mortality. About 2% of women die in childbirth, largely due to lack of services to manage emergency obstetric care, harmful traditional practices, inadequately trained staff, a weak referral system and high hospital-patient costs. Reducing child mortality. A study by the government and UNICEF revealed that 1 out of 4 children die before their fifth birthday. Children are dying from easily treatable illnesses like malaria, which accounts for up to 65% of such deaths, diarrohea, measles and complications associated with malnutrition. Low cost, well-targeted interventions can save lives. Facilitating access to treatment for those with rare and specialist medical conditions, who face no prospect of getting treatment in Sierra Leone. Currently this includes support to spinal surgery patients, developing the first epilepsy service in Sierra Leone with UK consultants and plastic surgery support to burns patients. MASL works with others to raise awareness of the key health and development issues facing communities in Sierra Leone - and to generate interest and support in meeting the health needs of the country. We have virtually no UK overheads and employ one Coordinator in Sierra Leone, who liaises with and supports local partners and carries out a monitoring and evaluation function.
