Whilst continuing to translate and distribute Bibles worldwide, Bible Society is also working to make the bible heard in our own culture in England and Wales, where the bible has virtually disappeared from the day-to-day reality of people's lives. We work with global alliance of supporters, churches and over 130 Bible Societies around the world.

Big Issue North is a weekly magazine that is sold by people who have limited other ways of earning an income in the North West and Yorkshire and the Humber. Vendors buy magazines for £1.50 before selling them on the streets for £3, keeping the £1.50 profit they make from each sale. As well as selling the magazine, our vendors are supported by staff with anything from developing their skills or accessing English language courses, to securing housing or new employment, to support with their finances or health and wellbeing, including addiction support.
The Bighearted Scotland Charitable Trust was formed in 1994 when a group of charities decided to work together to raise vital funds for their individual causes. A donation to Bighearted Scotland works harder by helping a wide range of good causes for children, adults and animals with a range of issues including epilepsy, special needs, exclusion, animal protection, disability, cancer and mental health problems.

Bipolar UK is the national charity dedicated to supporting individuals with the much misunderstood and devastating condition of bipolar, their families and carers. We provide a range of services to enable people affected by bipolar and associated illnesses to take control of their lives. Each year we reach out and support over 65,000 individuals through our services and information/advice publications. We also work in partnership with research organisations and campaign for new developments to tackle key issues. Our services encompass a national network of self help groups, self management training courses, a mentoring scheme working with hospitals and psychiatric units, members services incorporating a dedicated Helpline, a youth service, workplace training and our vibrant e community, a web-based discussion forum for individuals affected by bipolar to share their views and experiences.
Birmingham PHAB Camps is a small, totally voluntary, organisation whose aim is to encourage the integration of disabled and able-bodied children and young people.

We also arrange holidays for groups of children who have severe multiple disabilities. Volunteer helpers staff the holidays.
