The Teesside Charity was established in March 2011 to provide social and economic opportunities that would not otherwise have existed in the area. Formerly the Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation, the charity's key function is to financially support community groups and charities based within Teesside, which promote social wellbeing and provide support to those who find themselves at a disadvantage in the society they live in. These include but are not exclusively the homeless, those recovering from an addiction, the long-term unemployed, those living in poverty or living with a disability and employment schemes. The Teesside Charity helps those on the margins of society be involved in society and not excluded from opportunities. Teesside is a deprived area of the UK. It has higher crime rates, more pupils eligible for free school meals and higher unemployment than the national average. However, it also has great resilience and motivation to excel in areas.

The Giving Hands Mission (TGHM), Registered Charity Number 1160134, operates in Brierley Hill Dudley, West Midlands. For the past ten (10) years, we have been helping the homeless and rough sleepers, the poor and needy, those with severe debt problems, those leaving hostels and rehab centres, those with health problems, the socially isolated, those fleeing domestic violence, those suffering from severe depression, the underprivileged and disadvantaged, and all those within our reach whose lives are a struggle due to the hardship that they face daily. As part of our core values, we are committed to improving the quality of life of people irrespective of religion, race, gender, age and sexual orientation. For 10 years now, we have remained committed to addressing severe need and deprivation faced by individuals and families in our local community. The rising cost of living, the rise in the prices of food and household items, rising energy bills and new unemployment has brought about a huge increase in severe hardship in the daily lives of people. Dudley remains one of the most deprived boroughs in England (Indices of Deprivation, 2015). Report shows that within the borough 31,646 people, representing about 10% of the population live in the 10% most deprived neighbourhoods in England.

The objects of the Charity are for the public benefit: (1) to advance the education of the public in the subject of Libyan culture and heritage; (2) to develop the capacity and skills of the socially disadvantaged members of the diaspora Libyan community within the United Kingdom in such a way that they are better able to: (i) identify, and help meet, their needs; and (ii) more fully participate in, and contribute positively to, British society; and (3) to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time. Libya in the UK (LYUK) is an independent non-governmental organisation led by Libyan youth living in the diaspora. We seek to be a hub for Libyans in the UK to foster a shared sense of community. We provide a platform for networking and knowledge sharing for all Libyans and implement initiatives to advance Libyan art, culture, young talent and entrepreneurship. Ultimately, LYUK aims to build a vibrant and diverse Libyan community in the UK. Our core values are independence and integrity and we strive for excellence in all areas of our work.

The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) is a community benefit society and cooperative working to develop healthy, happy communities living active and connected lives. Our vision is for a society where people have the autonomy, capacity, resources and skills to become the architects of their own destiny; where our individual wellbeing is recognised as being bound up in our collective responsibility to and dependency on each other; and where all of us feel empowered as agents of social change to make a difference - whether at an individual level or more widely. By working collaboratively with communities we aim to bring about sustainable change on an social, environmental and economic level; to do the social knitting required to create stronger and more resilient communities and to support communities to identify, mitigate and remove the barriers that prevent them from living active and connected lives.

We are committed to a fair and sustainable future for all life on earth. To this end, we support philanthropists and social investors who want to make a lasting difference in protecting the planet for future generations.

Hospices of Hope's mission is to improve the quality of life for patients in South East Europe who are suffering from a terminal or life-limiting illness through increasing access to palliative care services and palliative care education. Palliative care aims to address the physical, emotional, spirtual and social needs of the patient and give support and guidance to their family members. We fulfil our mission by working with our in-country partner organisations in Romania, Serbia, Albania, Moldova, Greece and Ukraine (which together make up the Hospices of Hope Network) and supporting the training of health care professionals throughout Central and Eastern Europe. All care is provided free of charge to patients and their families. The four main pillars of our work are: 1) advocacy, for example lobbying governments to provide more resources and funding for palliative care and changing legislation where necessary, 2) technical expertise, for example providing expert advice on all aspects of fundraising or hospice buildings, 3) training, for example providing volunteer expert trainers from the UK or USA to help train local staff and 4) providing funding to help grow and develop palliative care services and education. We always aim to provide models of care that can be replicated in other cities or countries in the region, for example in Romania, our hospice was the only one for 10 years, but through our educational initiatives, there are now more than 100 functioning palliative care organisations in the country.
