Accompanied by a team of medical and non-medical volunteers, they head for the theme parks in Florida for 10 days of fun! Parents are left behind so that the children can experience independence - many for the first time - and give the families a much-deserved break. The trip can be life-changing and gives young people an opportunity to do something that medicine can't: discover independence, confidence and a new outlook on life. Often for the first time, they realise that they are not the odd one out. They gain perspective and experience things that they never thought possible. We are the only charity that takes deserving children from across the UK to Orlando as a peer group, with no parents. Instead the children are accompanied by a team of volunteers from all walks of life, who support the children 24/7. We believe the 10-day experience helps build independence, confidence and friendships – and is huge fun! |

We strive to provide the highest standards of nursing and medical care, to sustain quality of life and dignity and to provide patients with relief from pain when they need it most. To the families, friends and carers of our patients we extend the same loving support, help and counselling, as such illnesses affect whole families. The Hospice operates as a 12 bedded adult in-patient unit as well as a day hospice. The Hospice helps its patients enjoy a better quality of life, often enabling them to do things which they thought had gone forever. It is a special place which is full of life, not just a place where people go to die: many benefit from day hospice care and others return home following a period as an in-patient or attend our out-patients clinics. Adult in-patient services are available to individuals with complex problems associated with a life limiting illness. Our specialist services are delivered by a multi professional team including doctors, nurses, counsellors, social workers, chaplains and therapists.

Spiritual Care is provided to give compassionate companionship to patients and families and to be a support in whatever way they may be asked.

You start moving toward your unique physical, mental, and spiritual balance, and your body's own healing mechanisms begin to function more effectively. By its very nature the care and support the Hospice provides is expensive. Raising the ongoing funds to sustain the service is a huge challenge given the geographic/catchment area of the Hospice and population from whom we have to draw funds. The Hospice employs either full or part time around 120 staff. In addition to this the Hospice benefits from the help of around 440 active volunteers who are involved in every aspect of the hospices operation. We estimate that we save approximately £400,000 yearly by having volunteers supporting our staff based on full time equivalent roles, but this figure can’t represent the level of commitment, empathy and dedication that we are gifted by each volunteer for the thousands of hours that they offer us year on year. |

| Nith Inshore Rescue | SC022223 | Nith Inshore Rescue began in the winter of 1981/82. A man was trapped alone on a sandbank in the River Nith just to the south of Glencaple.

They looked on helplessly as the man shouted for help, but inevitably the rising water overcame him and the Nith claimed yet another life. That year, local people took matters into their own hands and decided the Glencaple area needed its own rescue boat, to be based in the village. And so Nith Inshore Rescue was born. A massive fundraising effort swung into action, with private individuals and local businesses donating generously.. Since then, Nith Inshore Rescue has grown tremendously and is a vital part of the emergency services for Dumfries and Galloway and also northern Cumbria.

| North Cumbria Search and Rescue | 1182703 | The team was officially formed in November 2018 to serve the City of Carlisle and the communities of North Cumbria following the aftermath of Storm Desmond, and became a registered charity in March 2019.

As time moved on however, we found that the need for a search and rescue capability in region became ever more apparent with the impacts of the Pandemic and the Cost-of-Living crisis on peoples wellbeing and mental health. The trustees of the charity were keen from the organisations inception to also work on a preventative basis rather than purely reactively. To this end the charity provides training to community groups upon request in subjects such as Water Awareness, First Aid and Mental Health First Aid on a free of charge or at cost basis wherever possible. Our aim is to enhance the resilience of local communities during any unforeseen flooding events, help reduce the potential loss of life and property and to reduce the impacts of mental health problems or be able to signpost people to professional help. The charity seeks to continue its work over the upcoming years, expanding its support to the community by providing bank patrols on the Eden during hot weather weekends and further honing our ability to provide specialist support to our Blue Light colleagues in the area. We hope to secure ongoing sponsorship from local businesses to ensure our core costs are always covered and to eventually find a permanent home base for the team to operate from. |

| OWEN Open Water Education Network | 11687682 | OWEN Open Water Education Network was founded in 2018 in memory of 12 year old Owen Jenkins. 10.07.2017 Owen saved a friend from drowning in the River trent at Beeston Weir Nottingham, after he saved the first girl he went back in for the 2nd girl, the current and the power of the hydro plant pulled Owen under the water and he drowned. As Owens mum I wanted to warn others about the dangers of open water, my boy saved his friends but lost his own life in doing so. I now visit schools and community groups and teach them how to use throw aids like throw lines or reach poles, we look at different bodies of open water and spot visible and hidden dangers and discuss ways to help ourselves to self rescue so our friends don't have to risk their own lives. We fundraise to allow me to buy equipment to take into schools, I try to leave a few throw lines at the school so they can practice life saving techniques, I am always available to visit schools and talk about Owens story and had he known there are other options other than to save his friends he may still be here today, to maintain the website so that advice is readily available, update the website so it becomes a tool for people to use or a starting point for discussion around open water safety. My son gave his life to save others and I hope with OWEN Open Water Education Network I can save lives of many more. |

There are currently 12 Ronald McDonald Houses across the UK, all just moments away from their respective children's wards, with plans for further developments well under-way.

The Birchall Trust has been working in the local community for the last 28 years and has established an excellent reputation for its specialist knowledge and expertise. It operates from a set of shared values that ensure service users are treated with respect, understanding and compassion. The charity was founded by Christine Birchall in 1991 and was initially called the South Cumbria Rape and Abuse Service. Christine was inspired to set up the service after she watched a BBC documentary highlighting the lack of support for victims of rape and sexual abuse. Christine set about gaining qualifications in counselling and set up a local support service, running from an attic room in Kendal with £300 and a telephone contributed by British Telecom. The service was initially run by Christine supported by two volunteers. From these humble beginnings the charity has developed significantly over the years. After initially having its main base in Kendal, the charity moved to 60, Hartington Street in Barrow in 2000 where it has had its main offices and counselling rooms for the last 19 years. Following Christine’s death in 2006, the organisation decided to change its name to the Birchall Trust. This was not only to recognise Christine’s work but also to give the charity a more palatable and dignified name which was well received. In 2010 the charity expanded into North Lancashire and now has 5 counselling/therapy rooms in Barrow, 2 counselling/therapy rooms in Kendal, 1 counselling room in Lancaster and 7 counselling/therapy rooms and an office space at a Community Hub in Morecambe. |

So we treat every one of our beneficiaries as individuals, taking time to fully understand your health and wellbeing needs, whatever the primary reason for your reaching out for support. By gaining this full picture, we can personalise and create a package of support that can help you in the short, medium and long term. Whether you are injured, recovering from an illness, feeling stressed or anxious, our approach is always the same; understand, personalise, deliver. This personalised support can involve one or more possible pathways, delivered in a number of different ways – over the phone, online using digital technology, out in your local community or at one of our centres: Harcombe House in Devon, Jubilee House in the Lake District or Marine Court in West Sussex. |
