BTE Christmas Fundraising Effort

Our vision is clear. To ensure children grow into adults, for adults to live longer and for families to stay together, as bereavement through trauma becomes rare.

Heart Link was founded in 1981 as a support organisation for parents and families who had a child with a heart condition. We have also been more committed over time to enhancing facilities for our young patients and their families, as well as giving much-needed quality medical equipment. Our goal has always been to do our utmost to deliver the best service possible.

Hope Against Cancer was founded in 2003. Since then, we have been supporting research which directly benefits local people, families and communities. This knowledge is shared with the wider scientific community to help national and international efforts to overcome cancer which also increases the reputation of Leicestershire and Rutland as a centre for cutting edge research and care.

The Lighthouse Charity provides 24/7 holistic support to our UK and Ireland construction community on all aspects of emotional, physical and financial wellbeing.

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

Armley Helping Hands is supports older people in deprived inner-city Leeds. We were set up in 1995, by a group of local people and community activists. They were concerned about the welfare of local older people by providing a range of services, advice, support and varied social and healthy living activities, enabling older people to live independently and to pro-actively participate.
