We undertake change at three levels:
Firstly, our work involves meeting the immediate needs of the child. This is where we are working directly with the child at grass roots level.
Secondly, we have to create change in the local context. This means sensitising the local community where we work. It is crucial that the children who live or arrive on the streets are not seen by society as a commodity to sell, or abuse – but as children, children in need of care and protection.
Thirdly, we work tirelessly to influence key policy decision makers in government to create safeguarding provisions within their policies and budgets for street children. This is extremely time consuming but vital if we are to achieve long term, sustainable change.

Every year in the UK over 1,000 people experience a spinal cord injury. There are an estimated 40,000 spinal cord injured people in the UK alone.
Most spinal cord injuries result in paralysis, and the impact of an injury can turn lives upside down. Spinal Cord injured people and their families are faced with the challenge of coming to terms with their injury, and rebuilding their lives with a disability.
But with the right support and information, people can still enjoy a full and independent life after injury. At the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA), we:
• Support spinal cord injured individuals and their families from the moment their injury occurs for the rest of their lives.
• Provide services and publications that enable and encourage paralysed people to lead independent lives.
• Campaign for improved medical and social care for spinal cord injury; and work to create awareness of the causes and consequences of injuries.
St Catherine’s Hospice
St Catherine’s Hospice is a charity dedicated to providing specialised end of life care and support to local people, their families, friends and carers.
For over 25 years we have been providing high quality hospice care, free of charge, to people living in Crawley, Horsham, Mid Sussex and East Surrey. Hospice care is based on a belief that each person is more than their illness, and each of us has unique physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. St Catherine’s responds to the needs of each individual. We are committed to relieving pain and anxiety, and to helping people achieve the best possible quality of life.
Providing this highly personal, holistic approach to care requires time, skill and experience from a multi-professional team. We care for people in the hospice, in their homes and in nursing homes. We also offer training, advice and support to other health professionals. St Catherine’s Hospice critically relies on voluntary donations and legacies. Our care is only made possible thanks to the generosity of supporters and volunteers. Each year we need to raise over £4.7 million of voluntary income to fund our work
