Charity FeatureStallfinder's Charity Feature section is a chance for charities to give an overview of their organisation and current work. If you would like details of your charity to be included please contact Gail at info@stallfinder.com  St John Ambulance - GloucestershireThis charity makes a difference by: Ensuring that everyone who needs it should receive first aid from those around them. No one should suffer for the lack of trained first aiders. SJA Gloucestershire equips people in the county of any age, culture and background with the necessary skills in first aid through the provision of top class training and assessment. This in turn gives the community of Gloucestershire trained first aiders whenever and wherever they are needed, be that at a public event whilst they are on duty, or in ones own home or work place. It provides adult volunteers with a chance to improve their skills whilst directly putting something very valuable back into their own communities. Whether that is as a first aider on duty at public events, as a Community First Responder on duty in their own locality or in assisting The Great Western Ambulance Service in time of strain and crisis. It provides our children and young people within the county the chance to learn fundamental life skills such as first aid, leadership and communication in a professional yet vibrant environment. Promoting first aid, citizenship, team working and an active and healthy lifestyle. Many people take us for granted, with the attitude that because we have history and are a visible brand we do not need support. This is not the case. We receive no government funding and rely on donations from individuals and organisations to ensure that we can continue to provide the vital service that has become an essential part of our local community. If you require any more information on the work that we do or would like to donate please either visit www.sja.org.uk or contact Chloe Moorhead chloe.moorhead@glos.sja.org.uk or 01452 858220  DEMAND DEMAND Design & Manufacture for Disability are based in Hertfordshire and have a branch in Yorkshire. We were established in 1980 to create bespoke items of equipment for children and adults with disabilities, where no other solution exists regardless of their ability to pay. What does DEMAND do? DEMAND is an independent charity that supplies as many disabled people as possible with one-off pieces of equipment where no off the shelf solution exists.

We are wholly funded by independent donations, we are not part of social services and do not receive any government funding. Help us to help more disabled people by making a donation, however small so that we can continue to help our present and future clients.

Help us raise £10 million by 2010 to make this facility in Leeds a world class force in the fight against cancer. The research that brought about many of today's new and successful cancer treatments started over ten years ago. We're planning for the next ten years, aiming even higher, developing research and treatments to ensure more people survive cancer.

She died in June 2004, at 34 years old, of childbed fever caused by Group A streptococcus, six days after the uncomplicated birth of her second child. Jessica's story could save another Mum's life and prevent another family's heartache and pain. Childbed Fever Childbed fever is an infection of the womb in new mothers which can lead to septicaemia. If you think it is a disease of the past, you're wrong. Childbed fever infections are rare, but they can happen to anybody, and can be fatal: 14% of maternal deaths in the UK are due to septicaemia. The symptoms of infection are usually easy to recognise and, if caught at an early stage, generally respond well to antibiotics. But if left untreated infection will cause organ failure and death - even in young, fit mothers. What's the Aim? We would like every parent and every midwife and doctor to know that childbed fever is still a very real threat to a mother's life. We believe that parents should be told about sepsis and childbed fever in ante natal classes and at the point of post natal discharge. If a mother complains of feeling unwell or shows a temperature (in particular over 38°C) she should be assumed to have contracted childbed fever until it can be proved otherwise. There is no need, particularly in modern Western medicine, for anybody to die just because they had a baby. Please help us, by spreading the message.

It has to be a parent’s worst nightmare. But every day in the UK, 10 mums and dads are given this devastating news. CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading children’s cancer charity, is there for every single one of them, at the time when they need us most. As their children start treatment they will need nurses, doctors and play specialists. The family will need social and family care and sometimes a place to stay near the hospital. In some cases they will need financial grants and bereavement support. CLIC Sargent provides all this. CLIC Sargent provides a vital service to Southampton General Hospital which is a Regional Children Cancer Centre. In Southampton General Hospital, we fund: Social worker team leader, social worker, admin assistant (PT), youth development worker, young persons social worker, young persons nurse, CLIC Haven (Southampton’s Home from Home) and financial grants.

LINC doesn’t just help people who have been diagnosed with Cancer. Of course patients undergoing treatment are a huge priority for us but so are their families and friends. We know that the services we offer can help in lots of different ways, both practical and physical. But our help has a much wider reach. Our research post is looking into causes, cures and innovative outcomes and hopefully many people will unknowingly benefit from this. Recently we have been delighted to be able to refurbish the patients’ day room on Rendcomb Ward and replace the old fashioned televisions with brand new flat screen ones. These kinds of improvements would not be possible without the support of local people.

When Rufus died in 1990, his family asked that no flowers should be sent to his funeral, and instead opened a fund to provide much needed breaks for people with learning difficulties who would otherwise be unable to afford them. All requests are referred to the Fund by either Warwickshire Social Services or Special Schools. While it is not large, Rufus’ Friends’ Fund quickly reached a useful figure, and thanks to continued support from a number of dedicated people, has been able to help eight to ten families each year since Rufus died. The Fund is a registered charity, pays no taxes and bears no administrative costs. For further details please contact Rufus' Friends Fund on 01926 613543. Registered Charity No. 1006484 |
