BBC Children in Need
BBC Children in Need funds trusted projects in communities across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, tackling urgent issues affecting children and young people. We’ve been here for them every day - all year round - for 45 years.
Royal Society for Blind Children, The
The Royal Society for Blind Children is the UK’s leading national charity supporting blind and partially sighted children, young people and their families. We help them build confidence, independence and emotional resilience, so they can live a full life without limits. A gift in your will to RSBC is a powerful way to ensure that no blind child grows up feeling isolated or left behind.
The Sick Children's Trust
The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that provides ‘Homes from Home’ near major paediatric hospitals in England, giving families from across the UK a place to stay close to their seriously ill child’s bedside. For any parent, there’s nothing more important than being there when your child is sick, to help them get better.
Toybox
Toybox is a UK charity with a mission to end the injustice of street children, one of the world’s most vulnerable groups. Toybox works in urban environments, with local partners, across Latin America, Africa and Asia. Our programmes include outreach and emergency care, birth registration, formal and informal education, vocational skills training, income-generation and sustainable livelihoods.
Abby’s Heroes
Abby’s Heroes supports children, teenagers and young adults from across the South of England when diagnosed with cancer, together with their families. We follow a family’s journey from diagnosis, through their therapy regime, completing their treatment plan, relapse and sadly if their child needs palliative care. Offering emergency grants for either financial or practical reasons, we are able to give families breathing space to concentrate on their children, when the financial impact of childhood cancer affects a family.
Barnardo’s
We’re here to help make sure children and young people feel safer, happier, healthier and more hopeful. Last year, we reached almost 360,000 children, young people, parents and carers through 669 services and partnerships across the UK. We change lives in so many ways, whether it’s supporting young people in and leaving care, providing counselling for children who’ve experienced abuse, or campaigning to change the way the system works for the better, we’re here every step of the way.
Coram
At Coram we champion children’s rights and wellbeing, making lives better through legal support, advocacy, adoption, and our range of therapeutic, educational and cultural programmes. Through our work we understand better what works for children and young people, and we use that insight and experience to engage with government, local authorities, social workers, teachers, carers, and families – all those in a position to make a difference - to help deliver better practice, systems, and laws.
Credo Care Foundation, The
For 25 years, Credo Care Fostering Ltd has supported disabled children with complex medical needs, giving them safe, loving homes and dramatically improving their quality of life. The carers who open their doors to these children often face huge personal costs. Essential home adaptations—wet rooms, hoists, specialist beds, wheelchair accessible spaces—are expensive, and Government Disabled Facilities Grants rarely cover everything. Many carers, especially respite carers, are left to fund thousands of pounds themselves.
Haven House Children’s Hospice
Haven House Children’s Hospice has been in your local community for more than 20 years, and everything we do is thanks to the generosity of supporters that feel a connection to the work that we do for seriously ill children and their families.
Kidney Research UK (incorporating Kids Kidney Research)
As the leading kidney research charity in the UK, nothing is going to stop us in our urgent mission to end kidney disease. We’re here to be heard, to make a difference, to change the future. This is a disease that ruins and destroys lives. It must be stopped. Over the past 60 years, our research has made an impact.
