The aim: empowering homeless people and those facing adversity to achieve their full potential. We helped over 850 young people in need from Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey Borders last year. <br /><br />Providing accommodation, training and support services to help halt the downward spiral our clients are often on upon arrival. Last year we helped an incredible 78% of our young people progress or stabilise, meaning re-entering education, training or employment and/or a home of their own. A fantastic outcome not just for the young person themselves but for the entire community.<br /><br />We'd love your support;<br />www.stepbystep.org.uk<br /><br />For more information please contact the fundraising team; 01252 346107, fundraising@stepbystep.org.ukLeanne Grubbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772499907076825081.post-3245616949934355052012-03-19T08:58:08.340-07:002012-03-19T08:58:08.340-07:00Oxfam has been fighting poverty for over 65 years....Oxfam has been fighting poverty for over 65 years. This makes us one of the most experienced development agencies in the world, which we think puts us in a strong position to help bring about lasting change for some of the poorest people on the planet. <br /><br />In suggesting Oxfam, we're actually suggesting the people we work to help. The best people to help poor communities are community members themselves; that's because no-one understands their problems better than they do. In fact, Oxfam mostly works in partnership with local organisations – supporting initiatives that are their own. From small businesses in Sri Lanka, education for girls in Pakistan, or increasing farming outputs in Bangladesh, our projects help people to lift themselves out of poverty - for the long term. <br /><br />You can see more details for some of our projects here: http://www.oxfam.org.uk/oxfam_in_action/direct/pgs_projects/projects.htm<br /><br />For more information please call Kate on 01865 472126 or email kkewley@oxfam.org.ukLittle Froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06540576541797812838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772499907076825081.post-66198556879723995402012-03-14T02:57:07.558-07:002012-03-14T02:57:07.558-07:00Amber provides a temporary home to young people.
...Amber provides a temporary home to young people.<br /><br />It is a project that provides a programme of activities, education, training and support to unemployed people aged 17 to 30 who are marginalised as a result of being homeless, having a history of substance misuse, having been involved in crime and in many cases are ex-offenders. The programme is individually tailored to the needs of the young person to help them gain the motivation, confidence, self-esteem and skills to become employable and get a job or place at college and sustainable accommodation. <br /><br />Our residential centre in Ockley, Surrey, opened in April 2010 and is one of three now in the country. The Surrey centre accommodates up to 28 young people all of whom are referred to us by various organisations including the prison service, probation, Youth Offending Teams, social services, local authorities, hostels, addiction treatment agencies, other voluntary organisations as well as family and friends and self referrals.<br /><br />Our residential settings are crucial to our success; however Amber is much more than just a temporary home. It provides Amberteers with a challenging and engaging process to help them overcome each of the obstacles that have previously stood between them and independent living, filling the void left by addiction and/or other difficult circumstances. <br /><br />The length of stay is about six months but it depends on the individuals’ needs and progression. For some it can take a long time to transform them into forward looking positive individuals because their past lives have been so chaotic. Previous interventions have been unsuccessful and for many young people, Amber’s approach works. <br /><br />Music can often be a great way to focus and channel emotions. So many of our young people enjoy involvement with music in such a diverse way as part of their programme here and so to further develop and sustain this interest, we would love to be able to create a music room here at Farm Place with your kind support.<br /><br />Please take a look at our website for further information: www.amberweb.org.<br /><br />To find out more about Amber, please contact Rachel Bartlett on 07879 415716 or email: Rachel.bartlett@amberweb.orgThe Amber Foundationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772499907076825081.post-20208412069540247952012-03-07T04:35:04.747-08:002012-03-07T04:35:04.747-08:00Hello!

We're FoodCycle - a new and innovative charity that works with young volunteers to empower them to run their own community projects across the UK. <br /><br />Across the UK millions of tonnes of food is thrown out each year with at least 400,000 tonnes being thrown out by supermarkets that could be eaten! At the same time 4 million people are affected by food poverty. At FoodCycle we think this is ridiculous! So we're doing something about it - and you can too!<br /><br />We combine surplus food that is being thrown out by supermarkets, spare kitchen spaces and the power volunteers to create tasty and nutritious three course meals for people who need them. <br /><br />We work with all different kinds of people, young people looking for work, students, people with mental health issues, refugees, older people, homeless people and many more! We think everyone deserves to be able to enjoy a nice meal in good company. If you love food, and helping your community, then this is the charity for you so please come support us! www.foodcycle.org.ukLouise Mousseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10381117557667055746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772499907076825081.post-48549335138102642032012-02-01T12:55:54.021-08:002012-02-01T12:55:54.021-08:00The Friends of PICU is a charity covering the Cent...The Friends of PICU is a charity covering the Central South of the UK from Surrey across to Oxford and down to West Sussex and over to Salisbury. <br /><br />We support the regional centre of excellence for Children's Intensive Care at Southampton Hospital.

We care for seriously ill people and their families both at the Hospice and out in our local community. Our philosophy is about living, not dying, and understanding that the modern use of the word ‘hospice’ is about a specialist system of care across many professions in the community. <br />The NHS covers less than 12% of our costs, which is under half the national average for hospices. This means we have to fundraise 88p in every pound the Hospice needs to spend. For that reason, we rely heavily on the support and generosity of the local community. All our services are free of charge, but we need to fundraise over £15,000 a day to offer such an exceptional standard of clinical care and support so income from legacies, sales from our thirteen shops, fundraising events, general donations and corporate support are all essential.The NHS covers less than 12% of our costs, which is under half the national average for hospices.

We aim to reverse and reduce the cycle of domestic abuse by providing four key services: a 24 hour emergency helpline (the only one available throughout Surrey); two refuges for women and their children fleeing domestic abuse; a Children's and a Community Outreach Service in the boroughs of Woking, Runnymede and Surrey Heath; and an education and prevention programme. <br /><br />Research shows that 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse in their lifetimes; in Surrey this figure is 1 in 3. Each year 750,000 children in the UK witness domestic abuse causing immediate and long term cognitive, behavioural and emotional effects, and 25% of 13-17 year olds who are dating report experiencing physical violence or verbal, emotional or sexual abuse in their relationships. With your help we can reach more people who are affected by domestic abuse before it’s too late, by running awareness raising sessions in local schools, companies, and groups; and expanding our life-saving services.

With so many local services being cut, elderly people are relying more and more on the services offered by charities to make sure that they are not forgotten.<br />We currently run a Visiting and Befriending Service, providing regular volunteer visitors to elderly people who may be housebound or receive few visitors. <br />We also run a Tea Room in Camberley Town centre which provides refreshments for the over 50’s, and is a great place for people to meet new friends. <br />We offer a local Information and Signposting Support Service and would like to be able to reopen the Lunch and Activities Club which we were forced to close earlier this year due to lack of funding. <br />If you would like more information about us or our services please telephone 01276 707585 or contact us by email on ageconcern-fandc@hotmail.co.ukfandc@hotmail.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772499907076825081.post-81287615206527778292011-08-31T06:34:35.904-07:002011-08-31T06:34:35.904-07:00Link Leisure is a local charity covering the areas...Link Leisure is a local charity covering the areas of Woking and Surrey Heath.

This event attracts over 250 disabled adults from across the county and our oldest attendee is 75 years old!<br />Our resident DJ and some of the support staff also having learning disabilities. The aim of this event is to give these people the same opportunities as other people their own age whilst being in a safe and controlled environment.<br />The main aim of the charity is to create independence and alleviate social isolation for these disabled people and above all enabling them to have fun in a safe and stimulating environment.<br />We are always looking to expand and increase our services for our service users so your support would be vital in enabling us to reach more disabled people living across Woking and Surrey Heath.<br />For further information about Link Leisure and the work that we do you can visit our website www.linkleisure.org.uk or call us on 01483 770037 <br /><br />Please email kristina.lastow@linkleisure.org.uk<br /><br /><br />thankyou :)Link Leisurenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772499907076825081.post-42368654121782755892011-08-30T09:05:37.365-07:002011-08-30T09:05:37.365-07:00The NSPCC helps children across the UK through Chi...The NSPCC helps children across the UK through Childline, the NSPCC helpline for adults worried about a child and many local services which aim to show the best way to protect children and help them get over the effects of abuse.<br /><br />ChildLine is the UK’s free, confidential helpline dedicated to children and young people. Whenever and wherever children need us, ChildLine will be there for them.<br /><br />ChildLine is a service that can help every child in the UK. At ChildLine bases around the country, trained volunteers are on hand to provide advice and support 24 hours a day. And children can get in touch by phone or email- whichever way makes them feel most in control. <br /><br />In the last year in South London & the South East, ChildLine received 30,190 calls from landlines, and of this total at least 4,645 calls came from Surrey.<br /><br />The NSPCC needs support to keep up this important work.

A young person with hemiplegia will suffer from lack of control and weakness on the side of the body affected. As a result of this brain damage other medical and psychological problems can occur. We have 520 members in Surrey and we believe that nationally we reach at least half of the 12,000 families affected in the UK thanks to our membership service, free helpline and comprehensive website. <br /><br />HemiHelp was founded in 1990 by a group of parents who saw a need for an organisation dedicated to supporting people like them- families affected by hemiplegia. Their commitment to reaching as many people remains central to our work. <br /><br />HemiHelp aims to complement the work of medical professionals with emotional and practical advice. HemiHelp is there for families when things get hard. We are there for them when their child is diagnosed, when they start school, when they need information and extra support. We put families in touch so they can get support from others who understand what they are going through. <br /><br />£20,000 would help us to run our Home Visiting service for the next 1 and a half years. In May we ran out of funds to continue our valuable Home Visiting service and as a result it has been suspended. Since 2007 the Home Visiting service has provided the hardest hit families with one-to-one practical and emotional support at times of crisis. The home visitors are professionally trained and have personal experience of disability or supporting a disabled person. Without your support we cannot continue to provide this valuable service. <br /><br />Be inspired at http://www.youtube.com/user/hemihelp, check us out at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001976603450 , follow us on http://twitter.com/#!/HemiHelp/ and learn more about us at www.hemihelp.org.uk <br /><br />For more info please contact Nikki@hemihelp.org.ukHemiHelphttp://www.hemihelp.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772499907076825081.post-65829991009248430792011-08-25T08:00:17.794-07:002011-08-25T08:00:17.794-07:00On average 2100 people go missing in Surrey each y...<b>On average 2100 people go missing in Surrey each year.

They work closely<br />with the emergency services to locate missing people searching on foot<br />and with specially trained dogs.<br /><br />So far this year they have been called out 37 times to help<br />locate the most vulnerable people in our community such as children<br />and the elderly. All of their team members are volunteers who give their<br />time and their knowledge for free.<br /><br />Although they work closely with the Police and other emergency services,<br />all their work is funded by contributions from individuals,<br />organisations and grants like this one.
