These remarkable charities are out there doing the kind of work that truly changes people’s futures — creating opportunities, offering support, and bringing hope where it’s needed most. We feel lucky to support them and to shine a little extra light on the impact they’re making in the world.
Helping communities access clean water and create opportunities for a better future. Sand Dams Worldwide supports the construction of sand dams - simple, cost-effective structures that capture and store millions of litres of safe water each year. These restore land and give communities the time and resources to farm, send children to school and thrive.
Supporting youth in rural Kenya to access education and build brighter futures, Amara strengthens schools in underserved communities through improved infrastructure, scholarship opportunities, and mentorship programs. Additional projects include providing libraries, learning materials, and agricultural initiatives. Amara believes that education is the right of every child.
Providing support for people experiencing homelessness in Manchester, the charity offers crisis intervention, life skills, training, and employment support. Through street outreach, a support centre, and resettlement housing, they help individuals overcome trauma and complex needs, giving over 1,000 people each year the chance to rebuild their lives and move into stable, independent homes.
Offering a lifeline in one of the UK’s most deprived areas, the centre supports people facing homelessness, poverty, addiction, mental health challenges, and isolation. Through free meals, crisis support, education, job clubs, and volunteering, it helps individuals gain stability, confidence, and employment, serving thousands of people each year and creating a true sense of community.
