Kent Deaf Childrens Society
(UK, 1015013) Browse events
YTD Raised: £610.00Welcome to the Kent Deaf Childrens Society CHARITY GIVING PAGE We are a growing, self funded, volunteer led and managed, registered charity, servicing the needs and providing support to deaf children, their families and friend in kent! What we do best: What we would like to do: In order to keep doing what we do well and to ensure we manage what we would like to do, we need to raise funds! We know our members are grateful for our services, but we really do need to do more! We understand that due to communication and the lack of deaf awareness in main stream community, it can be quite isolating being a deaf child. We try to over come this by developing our community, raising deaf awareness and providing relevant information so that the children may grow and socialise together regarly, growing their self confidence, esteem and abilities! Our volunteers are either parents of deaf children, professionals working with deaf children in Kent or deaf adults themselves. Our deaf volunteers are fantastic role models to our deaf children and members of our youth section KDYG (Kent Deaf Youth Group, working with young people between the ages of 12 and 19). They are happy to answer questions from members parents about deafness and their experiences as a child. We have a tall order.......Kent is said to have over 1,000 deaf children (of all levels of loss) living in the county. We would like to ensure all those children, their families and friends are able to access us but obviously this costs. Please help us to help many others. Apart from a small admin charge (for every £1 you donate via Virgin Giving the charity will recieve 96.5 pence) and if you complete the gift aid section we will also recieve gift aid from the HMRC at the same rate as the base tax rate at the time boosting your donation even further. Thank you for choosing to support the Kent Deaf Childrens Society, a local charity for local people, run by local people.
Liberty Children's Home
(UK, 1136713) Browse events
YTD Raised: £610.00In India the only inheritance that poor children have is poverty, children from poor families grow up to be poor parents. We believe that the only way to break this cycle is through education, leading to better job opportunities for both men and women. At Liberty Children's Home and Student Hostel we believe that every child is a gift from God into whom He has placed a potential. We strive to enable children to discover that potential, to dream big dreams about their future and give them the opportunity to shape their own lives. We do that at Liberty Children's by providing a safe living environment, where the children are given food, clothing, medical care and educational equipment to enable them to attend the village schools, college and even university. Liberty Children's Home is only a small charity, providing for 50 children in purpose built dormitories, in its own secure compound. Some of the children are orphans and for them it is an orphanage, others have a parent or parents with short or long term sickness, who cannot work, and for them it is a large foster home. The number of children at the Home is limited by the funds available and it cannot accomodate all the needy children in the village. But each year it also helps more than 100 of the poorest children in the village, by providing them with all their notebooks, so that they can also attend the village schools. Together with this, it is working with the schools to provide plates so that there are sufficient for the mid day meal. Realising that the Home cannot alway be dependent upon overseas donations, we are currently working with it to develop a buffalo dairy farm, which, although in its early stages, will eventually provide the income to support the children.

Cotswold Riding for the Disabled
(UK, 1160676) Browse events
YTD Raised: £560.00Our purpose is to promote a culture of learning, development, achievement and enjoyment for our riders that allows each and every one to reach their full potential. With over 180 riders each week, supported by 120 volunteers, we want to ensure that Cotswold RDA is “where aspirations become a reality” for everyone. Everyone of our riders all have a disability whether physical, mental or a learning difficulty, but we help them achieve the best they can whatever the disability or age. Riders like Kai who is 5, a wheelchair user with complex emotional issues and in long term fostering. At first he was apprehensive of riding but built a rapport with volunteers. Riding became a focus for him. The continuity and routine had a huge impact on his learning, behaviour and emotional state. His confidence grew as did his core strength and now he can walk independently to his horse and mount confidently. At school he gets out of his wheelchair and sits at a desk. His teachers report a real step change in confidence and how he engages with education. And as Kai says “riding is fun!” We hope you find the brief outline of our work as inspiring as we do; your generosity will ensure we can continue to provide this amazing service in the years to come.Thankyou for your support.

The other two trustees are committed to supporting I.T, sports and music programmes, providing educational and recreational support for children around the world.
