The International Association for Human Values (IAHV) offers programs to reduce stress and develop leaders so that human values can flourish in people and communities. We foster the daily practice of human values - a sense of connectedness and respect for all people and the natural environment, an attitude of non-violence, and an ethic of social service. Our programs enhance clarity of mind, shift attitudes and behaviours, and develop leaders and communities that are resilient, responsible, and inspired.

An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.

The Minus18 Foundation is Australia's youth driven charity for LGBTIQ youth. For over 20 years, Minus18 has been running high impact LGBTIQ events, education and consultation programs to create peer-support, safe spaces and inclusive environments, across Australia. Every year: Deliver more than 100 workshops, keynotes and presentations More than 10,000 people attend Minus18 events and workshops Distribute more than 50,000 Rainbow Pride merchandise across Australia More than 500,000 people engage with education and resources online. You might know us from our events, such as the Queer Formal which we take across the country, where young people aged 13-19 can bring a same-sex partner, express their gender identity and meet link-minded young people. We work together with local community groups to engage queer youth with their services, engage with opportunities and have an unforgettable evening of celebrating their identity. In 2018, we also ran the first-of-its kind Queer Ideas Festival, where we consulted with 120 LGBTIQ young people around what they want to see from the Government, Community and Organisations, which was then captured in our Young & Queer Report. Minus18 also delivers LGBTIQ Inclusion Workshops which develop empathy and understanding of LGBTIQ people, and equip participants with the tools they need to develop a culture of inclusion, acceptance and allyship within schools, organisations and communities. We've taken these across the country, with a focus across 2019-2020 to deliver subsidized opportunities to Regional and Rural areas. Our Events and Workshops wouldn't exist through the donations and support received through our campaigns such as IDAHOBIT, Wear it Purple Day and Trans Week of Awareness. These help us educate, create visibility and build opportunities, allowing Minus18 to work with communities and organisations to help drive our work - with 100% of proceeds from donations and all our Rainbow Pride resources going to LGBTIQ youth programs.

Hands Across the Water initially supported 32 kids who had lost their parents and were living in a tent at Baan Tharn Namchai in Phang-Nga, a town on Thailand's northern Andaman coast. The kids were left without food, shelter or support. Hands, along with a number of equally committed supporters pooled their resources to build the first orphanage at Baan Tharn Namchai. Today, Baan Tharn Namchai is home to over 100 children and Hands now supports over 250 at-risk children across seven homes throughout Thailand. Hands has a policy of 100% of all donations going to the children and their communities.
