Friends of Woodlands
(UK, 1037022) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,167.95
(UK, 1037022) Woodlands School accommodates up to 76 children with physical and sensory difficulties between the ages of 2 and 19 years. Many pupils have additional medical and other difficulties that may affect their learning. The school is a resource which serves the whole of the South West peninsula; pupils come from Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall to learn and develop their skills. The school has a wide range of specialist facilities and therapies on site such as hydrotherapy, dark and white sensory rooms, a creative arts room and highly trained staff capable of meeting a wide range of needs. Friends of Woodlands is a registered charity, whose aim is to raise funds to enable the school to purchase items which it would otherwise not be able to afford through normal funding. Such items range from sensory equipment to arts and music equipment, in fact, anything which enhances the lives and learning skills of the pupils. The Charity also funds activity days in the school holidays to allow parents and siblings of disabled pupils time for themselves. In the last year, Friends have financed new blinds for the hydrotherapy pool to help with the visually impaired pupils experience, and a floor-based walking piano, enabling wheelchair bound children to make music for themselves.
Working Hands
(UK, 1150488) Browse events
YTD Raised: £3,167.60Leprosy is still endemic in many countries. It causes paralysis of hands and feet, weakening grip and impairing dexterity. Many afflicted are destitute, illiterate manual workers whose livelihood depends on what they can dig, carry, haul in a day. For these past 20 years a small team of hand surgeons from the UK has been travelling pro bono first to India and latterly to Nepal to repair and animate such hands. This restores grip, enabling these individuals to earn more, support and educate their families. Equally importantly, the local surgeons are being taught these same techniques and are supplied with instruments and kit to enable them to continue this work long into the future and to teach others. Working Hands Charity receives no regular support from any organisation and depends entirely on donations such as yours. Nobody in the Charity is paid for this work, expertise and time - there are NO overheads. Every penny of donation reaches the front line, funding these biannual trips, currently working in three Nepali hospitals and teaching numerous local surgeons.

YTD Raised: £3,165.89Communicare in Southampton is a registered charity based in Southampton. What is Communicare's purpose/mission? Our aim is to enrich the lives of those in need in our community by providing emotional and practical support. We do this through our wonderful team of volunteers, who express their care for those in the local community by offering their time for activities including visiting and befriending, taking people shopping, DIY, garden clearance, transport to hospital and doctors appointments etc. Why should I give to Communicare? We do not charge our clients a penny for the services they recieve, and therefore are dependent on donations and grants to meet our essential outgoings. Although we use volunteers wherever possible, expenses such as transport and office admin are unavoidable, so your support to help us meet these costs is greatly valued and appreciated. Please consider whether you could give a small amount per month to Communicare, as this helps us to plan for the future and ensure we can open up the service to as many people as possible. Where is Communicare based? We are a local charity operating in the City of Southampton. We have two offices - one in Woolston, and another in Shirley. These two offices serve the whole city, and are open Monday to Thursday. Want to know more? Visit www.communicareinsouthampton.org.uk for more information about us.
