Our vision is of a just world with no street children. Toybox started working in Guatemala City in 1992, and we are still there today, working with children who have been plunged into the chaos of living or working on the streets. From working in one country with one partner we are now working in El Salvador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Sierra Leone, Kenya, India and Nepal with multiple partners. Find out more about the efforts of Toybox and our partners at this time visit: https://toybox.org.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/toyboxcharity/ https://www.instagram.com/toyboxcharity/

Our aim is to end hunger and poverty in the UK. We support a nationwide network of food banks and together we provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty, and campaign for change to end the need for food banks in the UK. In the UK, more than 14 million people are living in poverty – including 4.5 million children. We support more than 1,200 food bank centres in the UK to provide a minimum of three days’ nutritionally-balanced emergency food to people who have been referred in crisis, as well as support to help people resolve the crises they face. Between April 2018 and March 2019, food banks in our network provided a record 1.6 million food supplies to people in crisis, a 19% increase on the previous year. We know it takes more than food to end hunger. That’s why we bring together the experiences of food banks in our network to challenge the structural economic issues that lock people in poverty, and campaign to end the need for food banks in the UK.

The Voice for Epilepsy’s mission is to spread awareness and be an advocate for those who do not have a voice or are afraid to speak out. The purpose of this charity is to raise awareness of epilepsy, building a community of shared experiences giving individuals a voice to connect and feel supported. The Voice for Epilepsy aims to help individuals with epilepsy to connect and fight; to ensure not another moment is lost to seizures. To offer education about seizure recognition, seizure first aid and increase understanding about epilepsy in general. To help combat the isolation often associated with epilepsy and to encourage individuals and families to start opening their windows to the world without feeling vulnerable. To establish a principle that epilepsy creates unity and builds strong bonds. We need to educate people what to do and what not to do when someone is having a seizure, to encourage concerned authorities to take action to improve the lives of people with epilepsy and to provide communities, schools and workplaces with sessions, courses, seminars and presentations to educate on the basics of epilepsy.
