Supporting children alone and at risk on the streets, we currently work in India, East Africa and the UK. Our focus is Early Intervention, getting to the street kids before the streets gets to them. Last year we contacted over 27,000 children reuniting 2820 in India with their families.

Rainforest Foundation UK is committed to both human rights and environmental protection when it comes to tackling deforestation. Locally, we support forest communities to gain land rights, challenge destructive industries, manage their forests and protect their environment. Globally, we campaign to influence national and international laws and policies that protect rainforests and their inhabitants. Instead of conserving forests purely for their biodiversity or carbon values, RFUK promotes the establishment of community rights over rainforest lands, tackling the root causes of deforestation and paving the way for local people to benefit fairly from the use and protection of forest resources. We deliver our work through long-term partnerships with local and indigenous peoples’ organisations so that capacity is sustained in rainforest countries. Since our founding in 1989, the Rainforest Foundations of the UK, US and Norway have supported communities to secure and protect more than 84 million hectares of tropical rainforest — an area roughly the size of Scandinavia.
The Ramblers Association is Britain's largest walking charity - dedicated to protecting Britain's unique network of public paths, safeguarding the natural beauty of the countryside, expanding rights of responsible access for everyone and educating the public about the health and environmental benefits of walking.
