The Ebola outbreak is killing thousands of people across West Africa and leaving tens of thousands of children orphaned, stigmatised and destitute. British charity, Street Child, has been working exclusively in the region for the past 6 years and is currently working with 2000 children who have been left orphaned. It is estimated that by the end of November there will be 10,000 Ebola orphans. As the leading organisation in this field, Street Child has the capacity and the expertise to help these children but we need more money to keep up with the growing need.

It costs just £500 or £20 per month for to help a child orphaned by Ebola – Donate now

Sudbury Newstalk, an independent charity, was formed 28 years ago with help from Sudbury Leos (a youth charity associated with Lions International). Part of a nationwide network of Newstalk organizations, it records a fortnightly newspaper and a bi-monthly magazine for the visually impaired, which are distributed within a radius of around 10 miles from the town. All the people who contribute – readers, editors and technicians – are unpaid volunteers and, by keeping the individual cells local, Newstalk is able to deliver relevant information to recipients, such as walking hazards and chemists’ opening hours. The digital revolution is demanding an upgrade of the equipment used, which will be part funded by the donation gratefully received.

Brathay Trust has been inspiring young people since 1946. Some of those we work with today may be experiencing difficulties in their lives.

By engaging with them we inspire them and help in developing their personal and social skills. We also increase their critical awareness and raise their aspirations, which enhance their life chances.

Our aim is to become a leading charity that inspires children and young people to engage positively in their communities.

We recognise that children and young people face many challenges in their day-to-day lives, and we work with some of the most vulnerable, disengaged and ‘hard-to-reach’, helping them to develop the confidence, motivation, and skills they need to unlock their potential and make positive changes in their lives.

We deliver integrated community and residential programmes, at our Ambleside training HQ, that help young people to re-engage with education, have a voice in their community, become peer mentors and young leaders, and avoid or move away from criminal activity.

Programmes can be delivered in communities via our regional offices across the country. We have undertaken work in London, the Northwest, Yorkshire and Humberside, the Midlands and Cumbria.

We help:

• Young people excluded from school
• Young people not in education, employment or training
• Young offenders and those at risk of offending
• Looked after young people
• Young carers
