Young Carers Together
(UK, 1159224) Browse events
YTD Raised: £10.00
(UK, 1159224) Young Carers are the unsung heroes in our communities. This wonderful group of children grow up too fast, often missing out on the basics we take for granted. By providing activities and fun days we aim to give Young Carers a chance to have a break from their caring role and have some fun. They also have the opportunity to spend time and talk with other Young Carers which allows them to discuss their caring role knowing they won't be judged and that there are other Young Carers in a similar situation to them. We hope the activities and fun breaks we provide can be the beginning of a passion we have, to provide regular support, over the coming months and years and to have a lasting effect by building resilience and creating memories for Young Carers. The service Young Carers provide to society is often underestimated or taken for granted. We are here to try to make sure they have the time and opportunity to be children. We support Young Carers between the ages of 8 and 24.

Yarl's Wood Befrienders
(UK, 1111454) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Yarls Wood is an Immigration Removal Centre in North Bedfordshire, which detains women and families. The Befrienders, as an independent charity based in Bedford, provides much-needed support to anyone held in Yarls Wood who requests it. Through the simple act of visiting and listening, we try to restore self-esteem and reaffirm a basic sense of human dignity. Being held at Yarl’s Wood can be a traumatic experience, especially as detainees do not know how long they are likely to stay there, or whether they will be eventually released or returned to their country of origin. As well as offering emotional support, we also try to give practical help where we can. Many of those leaving Yarl’s Wood will be returning to places where they face immediate danger, or countries they left long ago. They often return to great uncertainty, sometimes with little more than the clothes on their backs. We have a small destitution fund to support people leaving Yarl’s Wood and the money raised through your donations will be used to help replenish this vital source of help. If you know of anyone in Yarls Wood who is in need of befriending support, please do contact us. Thank you very much for your generosity.

YTD Raised: £0.00The Guatemalan Families Association (GFA) is a charity for families living in Britain who have adopted or are in the process of adopting children from Guatemala. Our primary goal is to support internationally adopted Guatemalan children to connect with their Guatemalan roots. We also support two Guatemalan NGO's. The history of violence against indigenous populations, natural disasters, poverty, and illiteracy can best be dealt with in partnership with Guatemalans. Behrhorst projects promote self-sufficiency, foster community development, and enhance the education and health of people working to make a better life for their children and communities. Pueblo a Pueblo projects respond to the devastating poverty and deprivation in targeted indigenous villages. Projects work to build the community’s ability to thrive on its own while achieving health, food security, and education for local families. Many GFA families have visited the villages where these two charities are working. They have seen the difference our contributions make. Together, we will make the struggle to survive and be productive a little easier. Charity No: 1105241 Find out more Website http://www.gfa-uk.org/drupal/
