Our aim is to provide help and support to all fellow foster carers and their families, including respite or kinship carers by way of practical help; telephone support, regular members meetings and where necessary offer to represent foster carers either individually or collectively with a particular issue involving the day to day challenges of todays foster care. How Your Money Helps Promoting and publicising We are telling the world about the amazing job that foster carers do, and persuading more people to think about becoming foster carers themselves.

Our publications team produces a range of resources, guiding foster carers through every aspect of the fostering process, while our training programme provides professional development opportunities for all those involved in foster care.

During 2010 Treats Children’s Charity celebrated its 25th Anniversary year, and to mark the occasion we launched ‘25 Treats for 25 years’. The charity’s aim is to raise money to benefit the Children of Derbyshire and the surrounding region. Over the years we have helped to buy a variety of items, from helping finance a new building for St. Benedict’s School Enhanced Resource Base, mini buses, medical equipment, specially developed bikes, wheelchairs to dream holidays. We are always open to requests for help and will look at anything that can benefit the lives of these special children. We have donated funds to many needy causes, to many to mention. Thanks to all of you, Treats were able to make numerous donations last year to a variety of Children & Families who just need that extra bit of help. It is with the generous support we receive from people like you that Treats Children’s Charity is able to continue to give to all the good causes who approach us for support. I hope that this gives you a quick insight as to what we are about and hopefully will help you, help us, make a difference to the lives of these special CHILDREN.
The John Smith Trust was formed in 1996 to provide a permanent memorial to one of Britains best-loved politicians, the Rt Hon John Smith MP, who died suddenly in May 1994. Less than two years into the leadership of the Labour Party when he died, John Smith was held in high affection by many within and outside the Labour Party, not least because of the obvious sincerity with which he promoted the ideals of social justice and good governance. The aim of the Trust is to honour him by promoting the ideals that he held dear. Via the John Smith Fellowship Programme, the Trust unites young leaders across the globe who wish to promote those values. The Fellowship Programme is aimed at the next generation of leaders in a number of countries from the former Soviet Union and the Middle East - young leaders of proven ability and real attainments, regardless of their political background. The Programme is designed to introduce young leaders to the institutions and practices of democracy as they have evolved over time in the UK. It seeks to show how a mature democracy supports and develops good governance, the rule of law and the vindication of human and legal rights. It also shows how our form of democracy fosters and supports voluntary and other non-governmental organisations that seek to secure the relief of poverty, to empower disadvantaged groups and to give a voice to those who currently lack political influence. We do not attempt to indoctrinate the Fellows: we seek only to help them to choose the models that will work in their own societies. The Trust is a registered charity, not a party-political organisation; we have active support from all the major parties in the UK, and from many people and groups who are not active in politics.
