Gurkhas are Nepalese troops who have stood beside Australian troops in almost every conflict since Gallipoli. “The Bravest of the Brave, the Most Generous of the Generous”. Gurkhas Australia supports Gurkha veterans, widows and communities in Nepal through the ‘Gurkha Welfare Trust’. Although current Gurkhas receive full pensions, previous generations do not and so many rely on GWT simply to survive. Your help is needed to rebuild veterans’ homes and communities destroyed in the recent earthquakes. Serving Gurkhas have volunteered to visit Sydney and race in the Half Marathon to help raise funds – please support Team Gurkha. Thank you.

Respected is a charity set up by a local GP to deliver Relationships and Sex Education free of charge to secondary schools in Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding area. Its underlying premise is that each student is a unique and valuable individual, capable of making wise decisions when adequately informed and supported. The programme assists young people in the development of life skills, enabling them to make healthy and well informed decisions in the area of sex and relationships. It aims to boost self-esteem and empower young people to delay sexual experience until a long term loving committed relationship, ideally marriage. For local GP Dr Louise Parkin, setting up Respected was a response to her daily work. "I see patients suffering from the consequences of past decisions made in the area of sex and relationships: emotional problems, sexually transmitted infections, unplanned pregnancy etc. I feel that teenagers need to understand that choices made now in this area can have significant long term consequences. There are so many unhelpful influences out there." According to research, pornography is becoming the most prominent sex educator amongst young people. Many teenagers regard sexting as a normal part of a romantic relationship. The message of so much media and social media is to look good and to experiment sexually. With increasing pressure on academic targets and school budgets, local schools no longer have the resources to tackle this increasingly complex area. Respected aims to tackle these issues head on, encouraging young people to develop a healthy respect for themselves and others and supporting them in making informed choices in this vital area of their lives. It is committed to partnering with schools in the provision of excellent Relationships and Sex Education to local young people. Charity No: 1160057
