Howard League Scotland
(UK, SC0172434) Browse events
YTD Raised: £200.00The Howard League in ScotlandAlthough based in London, the original League had several Scottish members who over 40 years ago formed an active branch. This branch focused on problems of the Scottish courts and legal system, liaising with and influencing Scottish MPs, civil servants, the Judiciary and of course the prisons themselves. It was evident that if it were to respond effectively to the unique needs of the Scottish penal system then a separate Scottish organisation was needed. In consequence, the Howard League for Penal Reform in Scotland was formed in 1979. It has continued to flourish as an independent body ever since, and of course, took on a new relevance and enhanced role with the re-establishment of the Scottish Parliament.We are a fully independent body, representing an enormous amount of experience and active engagement with members and Committee members at all stages of careers. We depend largely on contributions from our membership to continue with our work. THE HISTORY OF THE HOWARD LEAGUEThe Howard League is named after John Howard, the founder of the penal reform movement. Between 1775 and 1790 John Howard made seven journeys across Europe in search of a humane prison system for English jails to follow. He conducted these investigations on his own and financed them himself.In 1866, the Howard Association was formed. The founders felt that there was a need to campaign for reform in the independent style practised by its namesake. The aim of Howard Association was the “promotion of the most efficient means of penal treatment and crime prevention” and to promote “a reformatory and radically preventive treatment of offenders”.The Penal Reform League was founded in 1907. In 1918, Margery Fry became Honorary Secretary and it was under her guidance that the Howard Association and the Penal Reform League merged in 1921 to form the Howard League for Penal Reform.

SCOTTISH BURNED CHILDRENS CLUB
(UK, SC032376) Browse events
YTD Raised: £200.00
(UK, SC032376) The Scottish Burned Children's Club provides support to burn survivor children, age 8-18 years, and their families dealing with lifelong scars of burn and scald injuries. Unlike any other injury, burns and scalds leave a life long scar, which no matter how small or big act as a reminder to the family as well as the child of the trauma they have been through. The child must also grow up knowing their body image is different, knocking their confidence at a time when normal processes of growing up are stressful enough. When a child is injured the whole family can be affected by: - Physical and psychological trauma - A different body image - A Lack of confidence. With continued support, positive encouragement and the courage and determination that has helped them so far we hope to see each child realise their dreams and goals. As well as providing positive support for families of burned children. The Scottish Burned Children’s Club is solely funded by fund raising events, sponsorship and donations and is run and organised by volunteers. The SBCC strives to help each child realise their goals and dreams. We are also dedicated to reducing the number of burn and scald injuries by raising awareness of the problems and promoting safe practice. It is important for burns survivors to feel that they are not alone in facing day-to-day difficulties. We organise Day trips & special events. The highlight is an annual week long summer rehabilitation camp for the children aged 8-18 years old. The camp enables the children to share experiences, make new friends and build their self confidence and self esteem, but above all have fun. All of this takes commitment and money in order for the work of the charity to continue.
