FIND A CAUSE // CHILDREN AND YOUTH

Money raised will be used to maintain our hall, purchase new equipment and to subsidise events to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

Three years ago, a piece of land was purchased on the edge of Wigton to be used by Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts. It has proved hugely popular and we have done a large amount of work, including fencing it, for which we had to raise £14,000.

We would now like to build a log cabin, which will allow us to offer more activities to more children, as we currently have a waiting list for most sections.

Our current meeting place, a hall, in another village, is far too small, particularly for our Scout meetings, when we have over 50 Scouts and leaders together at the same time.

We hope with support from the local community and beyond, that we can bring 1st Wigton Scout Group back to Wigton, so Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts can be in the town of their name, with space to play and learn.

218 Rotherham Squadron has made a positive difference to the lives of young people in Rotherham since it was founded all those years ago.

It is part of the South and West Yorkshire Wing of the national Royal Air Force Air Cadet organisation and meets twice weekly at the Army Reserves Centre on Fitzwilliam Road. The motto of the squadron reads "Nulli Secundus" meaning "Second to None".

The squadron provides young people between the ages of 12 (Year 8) and 20 with a wide variety of challenges and opportunities which enable them to unlock their potential and make new friendships.

The squadron prides itself on its core strengths of commitment and discipline, always fostering a keen sense of team spirit and loyalty.

We at Break give vulnerable children and young people the time, support, and care they need to achieve their full potential. Our support stretches to children and young people on the edge of care, in care and leaving care.

Whatever a child’s start in life, we believe that with the right support there is no limit to what they can achieve. Through innovation, lifelong relationships, and keeping our young people at the heart of what we do, we are transforming futures and changing lives.

By choosing to support Break today, you are helping to transform the lives of disadvantaged young people, enabling us to walk alongside them when ever they need us, for as long as they need us, just like any good parent would.

Why is BulliesOut so important?

Over half of the UK’s children and young people and 1 in 3 adults report being bullied on a regular basis. Bullying creates a culture of fear and has a negative impact on everyone involved. Being bullied can seriously affect a person’s physical, emotional, academic and social well-being. Many sufferers of bullying lack confidence, feel bad about themselves, have few friends and spend a lot of time alone. Bullying is a very stressful ordeal, one that many people find it hard to speak about.

Those being bullied continually ask why me? They may feel ashamed and embarrassed that they are not standing up to the bully and deal with what is happening to them.

Bullying can have devastating effects on a person which can last into adulthood. At its worst, bullying has driven children and young people to selfharm and even suicide.

At BulliesOut, in addition to our e-mentoring support, we provide innovative, engaging and interactive anti-bullying workshops and training programmes that are developed to reduce bullying in schools and the workplace; change attitudes and behaviours, recognise and respect difference, understand impact and consequences and raise confidence and self-esteem.

Why does BulliesOut need your help?

As a charity, we do not receive any government funding and rely on donations and fundraising activities to continue our vital work. With the support from people like you we can continue to change attitudes and behaviours and help create a better future for those affected by bullying.

We were founded over 120 years ago by Scottish philanthropist, James Dixon. He built Blackburn Orphanage in Wilpshire,Blackburn and the building is still in use as the charity's headquarters.

We now look after children by recruiting, training and supporting a team of foster carers as well as providing a wide range of community based services based, entirely, on the needs of disadvantaged children and young people throughout the North West.

Every day in the UK, 111 children are bereaved of their mum or dad, and 21 babies, children and young people die, leaving families devastated by bereavement. The impact of bereavement on children, young people, parents and families cannot be underestimated.

At Child Bereavement UK our aim is for all families to have the support they need when a child grieves or when a child dies. Our Make A Difference Draw will raise vital funds to help make this vision a reality.

When you play, you’ll be helping to ensure that no one affected by child bereavement grieves alone. Thank you.

Unpaid Carers make an enormous contribution to society and our charity is proud to be able to support them through a wide range of practical services such as free, regular short breaks and 24/7 support during times of crisis. We help and support Carers of all ages, some as young as 5 years old, to enable them to continue in their caring role.

Our Young Carers are encouraged to access our holiday activities and groups, as well as attending regular club nights to make sure they have the time and opportunity to enjoy their childhood and to be with other Young Carers, who understand what it is like to be a Carer.

No child or young person wants to be in hospital, but for those who have to be, Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity (ECHC) is there to make the experience as positive as possible.

The reality is that every day young lives are held on a knife edge as children, families and staff fight devastating and complex illnesses. And every day we support their emotional wellbeing and mental health as they face some of the toughest times of their lives.

We fund ground-breaking medical research and equipment so our NHS colleagues can do the best possible job. And we make the hospital building as welcoming and non-clinical as it can possibly be, transforming bedsides into art galleries, waiting areas into discos and courtyards into concerts. All so that children feel less afraid, less isolated, and more supported.

No matter the illness, condition, injury or length of hospital stay, we are determined to ensure that a child or young person's life does not go on hold and nothing gets in the way of them being a child.

We simply couldn’t do this without you, so please sign up today!

Family Gateway is an award-winning North East charity that is committed to using local people to deliver enterprising community-led solutions to families, children, young people and communities.

We work with disadvantaged communities to identify gaps in service and build capacity, developing new family-led services and designing enterprising solutions to local issues.

Family Holiday Charity helps families get time away together, often for the first time ever. We're here for children who have never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a pair of school shoes. For young carers, grandparent carers. For families facing illness, isolation, or bereavment.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There's time enough to share a laugh, watch the tide come in, and make happier memories.

When frontline care proffessionals make a referal, we help each family choose the UK holiday they need. It could be a caravan on the coast, a woodland adventure, or a day out at a theme park. 

Whatever the weather, if it means time spent together, even a day's holiday helps build relationships, confidence, a stronger sense of community, and hope for the future. 

More than 2.2m families in the UK can't get away on holiday. By playing our lottery, you're creating the time and space for mums, dads, carers and children to make lasting memories that make a lifetime of difference for families facing really tough times.

The Family Holiday Charity - for holidays that make a lifetime of difference

Our work revolves around five main themes, homelessness, older people, disability, refugees and children and families. All of our services and projects reflect at least one of these key themes.

Our work takes place throughout the Archdiocese of Birmingham and is there to support, advise and care for individuals and families, who are experiencing a difficult time in their lives.

Hertfordshire Scouts delivers the scout national co-educational programme in Hertfordshire for boys and girls aged between 6 and 25. We do this through our network of 170 Scout Groups and 18 Scout Districts.

A key part of providing our programme of age appropriate challenge for an increasing number of members is seen through our seven activity centres around the UK. These centres are available to all, and manage a range of challenging activities for all ages and abilities.

These facilities introduce the young people to different programmes and skills under trained instructors and leaders. They learn about the outdoors and often camp out, cooking for themselves and having fun in the open air. They develop teamwork and personal skills, living in small groups with their peers. They discover nature and the natural world as well as skills in any number of exciting things.

Your support through the Hertfordshire Scouts Unity Lottery is important to our members and to the other youth organisations which use our facilities because the money we earn from the lottery will go towards keeping these centres up to date and with the latest facilities.

My name is Capt Marc Pether RMR and I am the Commanding Officer of the Unit here in Kettering supported by a dedicated and hard working team of training staff and parent supporters.

Our Unit's Training Ship name is 800 Naval Air Squadron SCC. We proudly took our name from the fleet air arms 800 NAS, the last fixed wing squadron in the Royal Navy when they were decommissioned in 2011.

The aim of our Unit is to ensure cadets enjoy attending and participating in various activities acquiring life long practical skills to take forward in life with a sense of self discipline and pride.

We are very proud of our Unit and work hard to make it a place where young people can achieve their full potential but, most of all, to have fun in a safe and friendly environment.

Your support will give us a life stream of funding for as long as you and other members support us. Every penny we receive will go towards running the Unit, from buying boats, band equipment, stores, running the mini bus, paying for electric bills and the Unit's maintenance. Effectively everything we need to deliver that life-changing experience for all of our cadets.

Lia's Wings is the UK’s only charity that flies babies and critically ill children to hospital by aeroplane to receive specialist treatment and care.

We believe that safe, long-distance air transfers within the UK should be available for any child needing one, regardless of distance or cost. As part of the air ambulance network, we are the only charity in the UK that offers transfers by aeroplane which means that:
• We can cover the whole of the UK to transfer children over long-distances and across regions.
• We can fly in a wider range of weather conditions meaning that our flights are less likely to be postponed.
• Our pressurized cabins can support children with breathing difficulties.
• We can fly at sea level to ensure less pressure on a child’s brain.
• Our aircraft can provide an infection-free environment for children post-surgery.
• Aeroplanes are also less subject to noise and vibration and therefore over longer distances are often a safer and more comfortable environment for children, especially premature babies.
• There is always space for parents to accompany their child which we know is so important during such a difficult time for families.

We are also the only UK charity who has our own intensive care flight-ready incubator which enables babies to be moved long distances to neonatal intensive care units – no other charity offers this service.

On average each transfer costs Lia's Wings £9,300. With your help we can reach every child that needs us. Thank you for your kind support.

The MCA Trust supports cancer patients under the age of 22 across East London and Essex. We aim to bring hope and happiness to these vibrant young people and their families during some of the most challenging times they’ll ever face.

The scope of our work is varied. We provide financial and emotional support inside and outside of hospital environments.

Working in partnership with local NHS Trusts, we identify and fund projects that will make a real difference to children who are battling cancer. Completed projects include purchasing sophisticated medical equipment and refurbishing dedicated children’s oncology areas to create a better experience for all users.

Respite between treatments is a fundamental aspect of every child’s recovery. We also recognise that the cancer journey is hard on the whole family, so one of the ways we provide support comes from arranging experiences and holidays to sought-after locations that many children might wish for.

Every penny from the lottery is going towards our MCA Trust Education and Careers scheme - funding private tuition for children that have lost out on education due to strenuous cancer treatments.

We support families living in the East of England to be safe, healthy and resilient. All our services help people to build stronger networks, learn from experience and feel in control of their own well-being.

Perth Autism Support SCIO is the only autism specific charity supporting autistic children and young people up to the age of 18 in Perth and Kinross and Dundee City.

We offer a range of support, training, therapeutic interventions, and social activities. We work with local schools, colleges, employers, families and carers offering training and support to provide a better understanding of autism and raise awareness within the wider community.

Our activities combine social fun as well as educational groups, sports activities and work around independent travel, problem solving and money management which helps towards independent living. This allows our young people the best opportunities to reach their full potential.

The Royal Air Force Charitable Trust's mission is to promote the Royal Air Force, to support its people now and into the future and to encourage air-mindedness and the aviation-related education of youth.

This will be achieved, primarily, through:

The staging of the Royal International Air Tattoo, the Royal Air Force Concerts and other similar activities, and the giving of grants to satisfy the Trust's objectives.

Despite being the youngest member of the Royal Air Force family, the Charitable Trust has had a significant impact on the lives of many people.

Its strength lies in its ability to support such a wide range of projects and initiatives benefitting RAF serving personnel, young people and veterans.

The Trustees award grants to those people and projects that they assess to be most worthy of financial support and most closely aligned to their charitable objectives.

We're Scouts and everyone's welcome here. Every week we give almost half a million people across the UK aged 4-25 the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview, the important speech, the tricky challenge and the big dreams: the skills they need for life.

Scouts is needed today more than ever:

-At a time when communities are becoming more divided, we bring people together.

-When many young people are looking for connection, Scouts helps them make friends, and build confidence and a sense of belonging.

-We inspire positive futures and help young people find their place in the world by developing the character and practical skills they need to succeed.

Scouts exist to actively engage and support young people aged 6-25 in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society. Each week, young people take part in sessions and residential experiences, enjoying a wide variety of activities as diverse as camping, coding, kayaking and community action.

And evidence shows it works. Scouts spend on average more days a week being physically active, are more likely to value the outdoors, more likely to try new things and more likely to have the courage and try challenging activities. Compared to other young people, Scouts score higher on problem solving skills, are more likely to show leadership by taking initiative, and feel warmer towards people from different cultures and religions.

We have more girls and young women than ever. Since 2014 we've opened 1,280 sections in areas of deprivation, with 20,480 more young people from the most deprived communities. We've also launched a brand new section for 4 and 5 year-olds called Squirrels.

Scouts are thriving, but we want to do more. We want to ensure that every young person, whatever their background, has the chance to experience the fun, friendship and skills that Scouting offers. We need to raise funds to launch more groups and grow the ones we have by recruiting more volunteers. Join our Scouts Lottery today and help us reach more young people.

We are the largest mixed volunteer-led movement for young people in Scotland.

We want children and young people to love challenges, to be intrigued by mistakes, to enjoy effort and to love learning. We believe adventure provides the perfect vehicle for this. We want to equip our young people with skills for life.

The Billington Foundation offers support to vulnerable young people who are struggling to engage at school and may have lost focus, confidence and self-belief. We unlock the potential of young people by providing real life experiences, practical help, and developing the skills needed to access further education and career opportunities.

Collaborating with partners to remove barriers to learning and employment. We have a programme of interventions, activities and resources that break down the barriers to learning and employment leading to improved educational attainment, enhanced employability, social mobility and reduced inequality.

Our story started back in 1985, when CAFT founder Tim Grundy was inspired to create a special place where terminally ill, disabled and socially disadvantaged children could have a break away from their circumstances. Tim was inspired whilst donating toys to a local centre supporting young children, he asked “Is there anything else these children need?” The response: “What these kids really need is a holiday, but they’ll never get the opportunity.” In 1992, after years of hard work fundraising and renovating, The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust was ready to receive the first children for a holiday at the Farm.

CAFT helps children of all abilities aged 17 and under, children who through no fault of their own miss out on the normalities of childhood. Children with complex and severe physical or learning disabilities, sensory impairments and terminal illnesses. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds, children who have witnessed or faced abuse. Children who act as young carers and sadly, children who have already faced bereavement. For these children, a break at The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust provides a fantastic and much needed opportunity to escape the traumas of their everyday life and for a few days they can simply be children again.

Whether the children are here for just a day or a few days, there is an amazing array of things to see and do. Our 10 acre site is the perfect place for children to create, explore and play. From swings and roundabouts to alpacas and donkeys. Messy play in the art room and bouncing down the inflatable slide. Pirates on the galleon and rock-stars in the music room. What we provide goes so much further than just a holiday or a fun day; it is the memories that will last a lifetime.

Our work is not possible without the kind generosity of our supporters. It costs in excess of £1million per year to fund the Farm and we receive no statutory funding. We rely solely on voluntary contributions. The donations we receive provide children with a safe space, fun and games and most importantly, respite from the pain, illness, deprivation and bereavement faced in their everyday lives. A visit to CAFT gives brave children memories to cherish in the hard times, memories that bring joy in sorrow, memories to last a lifetime. To find out more about what we do and how you can get involved, please visit www.caft.co.uk or call 01565 830053.

And from all at The Children's Adventure Farm Trust, thank you for your support.

The Fostering Network is the UK’s leading fostering charity. We bring together everyone involved in fostering to improve life for the tens of thousands of children living with foster families today.

We support foster carers to transform children’s lives and we work with fostering services and the wider sector to develop and share best practice. By listening to and working with our members we create vital change. We influence fostering policy and practice at every level and campaign to ensure that foster care is the very best it can be.

Every 20 minutes another child comes into care needing a foster family. Children come into care for many reasons, but many have suffered abuse or neglect. For many, fostering is often their first positive experience of family life.

It is more vital than ever that fostering is properly supported, recognised and valued. All our work is focussed on making sure foster care is the very best it can be. That means improving stability for children, making sure they can maintain important relationships and have every opportunity to fulfil their potential.

By playing the lottery, you are helping us make all the difference for fostered children and foster families, now and into the future.

All the funds to do this have to be raised by the association and our supporters whose continued help is much appreciated.

Thank You
