The Door Youth Project
(UK, 1131919) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,135.00At The Door, we believe in the potential of every young person. Yes, when we first meet them, they might be angry, rebellious and in all kinds of trouble, but over the months we see them change. The Door is a Christian-based youth project, established in 1991 for the benefit of all young people aged 11 to 25. We do mentoring & personal support so young people can learn to express their anger in more positive ways. We offer a safe place for them to hang out off the streets and fun and challenging activities and trips to channel their energy. And we offer education- practical vocational training such as carpentry, so that troubled young people can go on to lead positive and fulfilled futures. We turn lives around. We have been a positive influence in the lives of so many seriously disaffected young people. We have worked with a 15 year old armed robber, 14 year olds addicted to Cocaine and 12 year olds that use sex as a substitute for love. When asked what difference do we make, Brendan, Project Co-ordinator, always says “There are young people alive today that might otherwise have been dead if it wasn’t for the work we do.” This is the greatest outcome we could achieve, a life with a future where there was despair, hope where there was sadness. Our work is challenging but the rewards are great. We now see over 300 young people every year and over 150 very month. We provide 1,123 hours of drop-in general youth work time. We engage with 40 disadvantaged young people through over 2,000 hours of training workshops. We help over 50 disengaging young people through over 1,000 hours of one to one support. We see growth in confidence and motivation in over 50 young people as they participate in performance arts. We do have a huge impact, but still need to do more to address unmet needs. We work with those with suicidal thoughts on a weekly basis. Please help us to help them. Your gift will bring HOPE!
Kaira Konko Scout Fellowship
(UK, XR80596) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,130.00Kaira Konko Scout Lodge in Soma, The Gambia was built by local people using funds raised in Hampshire UK. After much hard work a hall and 5 bedrooms for visitors were opened by the British High Commissioner in 1998. Since then the project has gone from strength to strength. Its aim is to be a self-sufficient, not for profit, social enterprise whereby rooms are hired to Scout expeditions, tourists, local government stall, NGOs and business people wanting overnight accommodation in Soma. The money raised maintains the buildings and provides Scouting facilities for around 200 young people aged from 2 to 20. Until the Lodge became self supporting in 2009, Kaira Konko Scout Active Support, a group of friends and supporters of KK in the UK, raised funds to help run and develop the centre. The Lodge now has 6 bedrooms, a bantaba, kitchen and store all set within a lovely garden and safe environment. We continue to raise funds so that the work at KK can continue - to sponsor Scouts through education, employ staff to run the centre, and advise Scouts about further skills, training and employment. A rice fund is administered by the project manager to ensure no Scout’s family goes hungry. Any young person can become a Scout, all that is asked is that they attend the weekly Scout meeting (and over 200 do just that) and are kind, friendly, honest and helpful. Kaira Konko offers opportunities that children can, through their own endeavours, learn the skills to give them a chance for a better life. The more funds we have the more opportunities we can offer. We are a small charity and all money raised goes directly to help the aims of the project.

Callum Smith Trust
(UK, EW15367) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,006.00Callum's Adventure's 2016 Young Callum Smith is like any other 9 year old boy, full of fun, life and adventure. He has such a cheeky and extremely loveable nature that you cannot help but fall in love with. His passion and absolute determination to achieve what he sets out to do is truly inspirational. Callum and his family give hope that despite the horror that they live they never give up the fight for a full and fun life. What makes Callum different is that he sadly suffers with an extremely rare and severe form of Muscular Dystrophy, Duchennes. This is a serious progressive muscle weakness that will eventually weaken his lungs and heart muscles and cause premature death by his mid to late twenties. Callum has continual assessment health checks and physiotherapy but eventually will become locked in his own body. I cannot stress to you how deeply upsetting this is to watch Callum deteriorate, the reality of what this young boy faces is soul destroying. Callum's passion is for outdoor sports, he attends all cub scout camps and literally throws himself in to all of the activities. He has fought against the need for a wheelchair for some time but eventually everyday things that we take for granted have become too much for him. The wheelchair that Callum currently uses provides basic support for general day to day living. It is our intention to raise £15000 to provide Callum with an all terrain wheelchair that will enable him to not only use daily but to continue with his passion for the outdoors. This chair will ensure that Callum is able to keep up with some of the normality of life, inclusion in school sports day activities, not just be able to attend Cub Scout camps but to also partake in the activities like his friends. This will enhance Callum's life, enable him to continue a full life and bring happiness and smiles to a family that are facing a very daunting path.
