Charities
Acorns provides care for babies, children and young people, who have life limiting or life threatening conditions. We offer a network of specialist palliative nursing care and support for local families. Caring for a child with complex medical needs can place unimaginable demands on a family, both physically and emotionally. When time is short every moment is precious which is why, as well as providing specialist care, we help families to make lasting memories. Quite simply, we’re here to support families on their journeys, in any way we can. Our package of care is tailored for each individual child to meet their medical, emotional, cultural, religious and spiritual needs.
At Action for Children, our vision is a world where all children have a sense of belonging and are loved and valued. We work with around 200,000 of the UK's most vulnerable and neglected children, young people and their families, and we'll be there for as long as it takes to make a difference in their lives. To find out about the work we do - and how we're committed to tackling child neglect - visit us at, http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk, or, http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/get-involved.
Our mission is empowering people with M.E. to fulfil their potential and secure the care and support they need, while working towards a greater understanding of the illness and ultimately a cure.
Action Medical Research is dedicated to creating a future without disease and disability. Our work is not restricted to any single part of medicine. For over fifty years, we have been funding medical breakthroughs helped by the most forward thinking people in the country: our researchers, our fundraisers and our donors.
Disabled people are often poor. Poor people are more likely to become disabled. This is especially true in Africa and Asia, but they don't want hand-outs. They want to be able to earn a living and support themselves. ADD is a charity, which helps them do that.
Action on Elder Abuse (AEA) is a UK-wide specialist organisation working to protect, and prevent the abuse of, vulnerable older adults. We focus exclusively on the issue of elder abuse, not as one issue among many, but as a single focus to our work. For this reason we have extensive expertise that is not available from any other charity or agency. Our freephone UK helpline, (0808) 808 8141, is open Monday-Friday, 9am - 5pm. Should you have any further enquiries in future, please call our main office on, (0208) 835 9280.
