Barnardo's
Barnardo’s Child Sponsorship is the only programme of its kind in the UK (we think!). It is a wonderful chance for sponsors to make a special commitment to helping vulnerable children and young people, close to home.

In return, the sponsors can follow the progress of their sponsored child or young person on their own personalised website. They’ll get updates from the child and their project worker, giving them a real, and unique, insight into how their gifts are making a difference.

Cancer Research
Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. We have discovered new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer that together have saved millions of lives across the world.

We have been at the heart of the progress that has already seen survival rates double in the last thirty years. But one in three of us will still get cancer at some point. Our groundbreaking work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that millions more people will survive. We work in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer.
