Army Cadet Force
The ACF is a national, voluntary youth organisation that is sponsored by the British Army but not part of it. Typically adult volunteers volunteer for one or two evenings a week at a local detachment and attend occasional weekends. Beyond that it is up to each volunteer how much time they want to give. Help is always welcomed on the annual camps (one or two weeks during the school summer holidays) and many consider this the highlight of the ACF year.

Little Village
Little Village makes a big difference to families with babies and young children living in poverty across London. Via our network of a baby banks, we pass on great quality loved baby goods from one family to another: clothes, shoes and coats so that children are clean and dry; toys and books to support play and development; beds for a safe and cosy night’s sleep. Families either visit a Little Village hub in Camden, Tooting or Brent, or items are packed with care and delivered to their home. But it doesn’t stop there. We also connect families into a wider network of support, helping them to build and extend their own ‘village’. Thanks to the generous donations of loved items, precious time and money, in 2023 Little Village was able to support more than 8,500 children. But the demand for help still outstripped our capacity to respond week on week. Essentials are becoming unaffordable for more and more families with babies and young children, and many are facing complete destitution. Your support will mean that Little Village can help families directly with a bundle of essentials packed for their individual children’s needs: from newborn to weaning and toddling, to play and pre-school. If you’re a business and share our dream that no child in the capital grows up without essential items for daily life and would like to discuss donating some of your products or profit share to our work, please contact us at fundraising@littlevillagehq.org.

Living Streets
We are Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking. We want to create a walking nation, free from congested roads and pollution, reducing the risk of preventable illness and social isolation and making walking the natural choice. We believe that a walking nation means progress for everyone. Our ambition is to get people of all generations to enjoy the benefits that this simple act brings and to ensure all our streets are fit for walking. For more than 90 years we’ve been a beacon for walking. In our early days our campaigning led to the UK’s first zebra crossings and speed limits. Now, our campaigns and local projects deliver real change to overcome barriers to walking and our ground breaking initiatives such as the world’s biggest Walk to School campaign encourage millions of people to walk. Progress starts here: one street, one school, one step at a time.

St John's Foundation
For 851 years, St John’s Foundation has been changing people’s lives, for good. As one of the UK’s oldest charities, we are proud to serve Bath and the surrounding area. But we’re still facing many of the same problems today as we have been throughout the centuries. It’s a dilemma that prompted us to launch our Best Start in Life initiative (formally known as the Foundation Fund) in 2020. This work focuses on making sure every child under 12 has the chance to grow up as a healthy, happy, and educated member of our community; that they have the support they need to lead fulfilling, independent lives beyond school and into older age. We are determined to narrow the primary school educational attainment gap, which is particularly acute in our area. Alongside this, we continue our long-standing work of helping older adults age well through the provision of housing and outreach services. With older adults now outnumbering younger people in our region, it’s more important than ever that we foster an age-friendly community, promoting independent living for longer. By addressing the needs of under-served young people, we believe we can change the direction of their lives, so that when they’re older, they won’t need us. Our city and the neighbourhoods around it are beautiful and age-old. However, divisions and inequalities are concealed behind the veneer of Bath stone and rural beauty. This is why we provide crucial support for those who have reached a crisis point in their lives, helping them with the most essential needs. We work to address these modern challenges, forging connections with like-minded charities and donors to boost our impact. It’s a long-term strategy, but we’re unwavering. After all, we’ve been around for 851 years.

Buttle Uk
Do you remember a time in your life when somebody helped you – when the smallest intervention made the biggest impact on your life? This is what we do here at Buttle UK. We provide small but effective interventions to help children in crisis unlock their potential. These are tough times for many families and we are now seeing a rising number of disadvantaged and vulnerable young people across the UK. Last year alone we provided £4.8m in grants to nearly children and young people, preventing them from falling further into crisis and helping them transform their lives. Whether we give a bed to a child who has become used to sleeping on the floor, counselling to a young boy who has fled an abusive home with his mother or a laptop to support a teenage runaway enrolling on a graphic design course, our direct, efficient and intelligent grants are always focused on the needs of the child. Our work proves that a relatively small amount of money can make a huge difference. Find out how and support us at

Hello World
Hello World provides educational resources and Internet connectivity to isolated and vulnerable communities. We do this by building solar-powered, outdoor Internet kiosks— so that underprivileged children and adults can educate themselves, communicate with others, and have a voice in the global community. ABOUT HELLO WORLD WHAT WE DO: Hello World provides educational resources and Internet connectivity to isolated and vulnerable communities. We do this by building solar-powered, outdoor Internet kiosks— so that underprivileged children and adults can educate themselves, communicate with others, and have a voice in the global community. HOW WE DO IT: Hello World mobilises communities to build Hello Hubs, solar-powered outdoor Internet kiosks, with state-of the art technology including high quality solar panels, satellite connectivity, rugged, waterproof touch-screen screens, camera and audio equipment. Hello Hubs are designed to withstand extreme outdoor weather and are energy autonomous, which means that they can bring connectivity and education to even the most isolated communities. WHY WE DO IT: 262 million children have NO access to education. Even if we combined the entire global budget for education it wouldn't come close to reaching every child. The traditional approach to tackling the education deficit is not working. There are 69 million too few teachers to hit current education targets, that’s just targets. We need an affordable, scalable and world-class solution for ALL children, no matter where they were born. With Hello World, children can learn, and explore the world’s body of knowledge, right in the center of their community. And; we’re challenging the standard approach to development work - because we don't build Hello Hubs, we teach communities how to build them for themselves.
