Rotary Children's Hospice Holidays is a charitable organisation run by the Rotary Club of Medway to provide holidays for children's Hospice guests and their families. Each year since 2009, self-funding Rotarians take 6 families chosen by Demelza and Chyps Children's Hospices to EuroDisney Paris. Together with a sponsored medical support team and the self-funding Rotarians the holiday 'makes dreams real and provides family memories of a lifetime together'. Your donations to the Rotary Club of Medway Trust Fund will help us to continue the valuable work that is necessary to add real and lasting pleasure to the lives of families who otherwise would not be able to enjoy this shared experience. The holidays often come at a time when the family is going through a difficult patch, without any certainty of their future life together. We know from experience that the holiday adds real hope to their time together and the 'magic of Disney' works wonders for the special little guest around whom the trip is centred.

NOAH works with the whole person to find permanent and individually tailored pathways out of homelessness and we continue to provide this support long after permanent accommodation has been found.

Our 5,800 users face a multiplicity of problems which can be any combination of being homeless, addicted, mentally-ill, an ex-offender, victims of crime and abuse, or elderly and the neglected and vulnerable children of our users. We operate 2 centres in 2 of the 4 most deprived neighbourhoods in the London Borough of Lewisham, namely Deptford and Downham. Lewisham is itself in the top 16% of most deprived boroughs in England. Our centres provide day time respite from life on the streets to the homeless. They are fed, given clothing and provided with a laundry service. Where possible we try to find accommodation in hostels and night shelters and assist in finding more permanent housing. We help them access benefits such as deposit schemes and, once they have a home, housing benefit. For our rough sleepers we provide sleeping bags and, if we cannot find them shelter, advice on the safest places to sleep. We open a temporary night shelter every winter with beds for up to 25 people.

Art Refuge; the place for spirits to soar! The Art Refuge Programme provides Tibetan refugee children with a protected time and space in which to play and make art. After making the arduous journey across the Himalaya's in search of an education and a brighter future, the children arrive at a reception centre in Nepal. These centres provide a safe and nuturing space in which they can simply be children again. Within the Art Refuge programme they are supported by adult facilitators who have undertaken the same journey into exile and therefore can understand and relate to the children’s fears, anxieties and need for comfort. For these children, whose lives have been disrupted, playing and making art is an essential therapeutic activity which can help to reduce stress and establish normalcy. Clearly, play and art activities of and in themselves, cannot change stressful circumstances. What such activities can do, however, is enable the children to engage in meaningful interactions, thereby helping them to cope with stressful experiences through shifting the balance of social, environmental and psychological factors in a positive direction. Art Refuge is the only organization officially working with the children in the reception centres in this way, and we therefore have a unique role to play in their transition from Tibet. Currently, we depend entirely on donations. All of the contributions recieved go towards ensuring the centres and the local tutors are enabled to support the Tibetan refugees. This means providing the required supplies for the activities, maintaining the classrooms and most importantly paying for the local tutors to work with the children.
