Emmie’s Kitchen supports parents and carers of seriously ill children at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. Founded from lived experience, the charity provides free meals, snack bags, and wellbeing sessions to families facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. With around 100 meals and 80 snack bags delivered every week, Emmie’s Kitchen ensures parents feel seen, nourished, and cared for, because a child’s recovery depends on their parents too.
Billy & Beyond CIC delivers free drug education workshops in schools, youth groups, and community settings. Founded after the tragic loss of Billy Mullin in 2020, the organisation educates young people about the real risks of recreational drug use. Through interactive sessions, real-life stories, and a powerful animated film, Billy & Beyond helps young people make safer, more informed choices, and gives families the tools to have honest conversations that could save lives.
Kinship Carers is a national charity supporting families where children are raised by relatives or close family friends instead of their parents. Operating UK-wide, the charity provides practical advice, emotional support, advocacy and peer connection to kinship carers navigating complex legal, financial and social care systems. Kinship care is the most common form of alternative care in the UK, yet carers often receive little recognition or support. Kinship Carers UK is working to change that.
Wild Plant Paper CIC is a Wales-based social enterprise making handmade paper. Founded by botanist Dr Bryan Collis, they turn invasive weeds and waste materials into beautiful handmade paper, while creating flexible, inclusive work and volunteering opportunities for people excluded from traditional employment. From their converted shipping container studio to their outdoor Himalayan Balsam clearances, their work connects creativity, conservation, and community in equal measure.
Lorry drivers and transport workers keep the country moving, yet for many the road is hard and lonely, and too often they reach crisis point before asking for help. Breaker Breaker is a mental health charity in Northern Ireland dedicated to the haulage industry, founded after Leanne Lyons lost her husband David to suicide. It provides a 24/7 confidential helpline, face-to-face wellbeing support, and a mobile welfare hub visiting truck shows, depots, and rest stops across the UK and Ireland. Since March 2024, it has funded over 200 counselling sessions, and demand is still growing.
Gussies Pantry, part of Gussies Community in Chesterfield, supports local residents experiencing food insecurity while fostering connections and community engagement. Through its pantry shop, jumble shop, and community events, the project reaches households in need, providing access to affordable food, social spaces, and practical resources. Volunteers drive much of this work, ensuring that support is both consistent and personal.
Pathways is Chesterfield’s primary centre for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their home. The service provides housing advice and support, access to essential services, mentoring, and activities to support wellbeing. Each year, Pathways helps around 880 people in need, including around 280 individuals who secure housing, leaving a lasting impact on the local community. The centre combines practical support with empowerment, ensuring people get the help they need while building confidence and independence.
Wildlings is a nature-focused early years setting that combines indoor and outdoor learning to support children’s development. Set across a bright hall and ancient woodland, it provides a safe space where children can explore, play, and grow at their own pace. The setting’s ethos encourages curiosity, resilience, and care for the natural world, creating a collaborative community that benefits children and the planet alike.
Domestic abuse affects 1.7 million women in the UK each year, leaving long-lasting emotional, psychological, and physical scars. For many survivors, traditional therapy alone isn’t enough to rebuild confidence, reconnect with their bodies, or overcome trauma-related anxiety, disassociation, and isolation. Fight Forward was founded to change that. Created by GB Boxer and Gold Medallist Lesley Sackey, the organisation uses the healing power of boxing to support survivors in reclaiming strength, autonomy, and hope.
The Civet Project is a UK-based conservation charity protecting civets, a small cat-like carnivore found in Asia, their habitats, and the people who share these environments. They tackle the cruel and risky trade driven by “civet coffee,” a luxury drink made from civets’ droppings. Through research, education, and community engagement, they reduce exploitation, protect communities from health risks, and work toward sustainable futures for people, wildlife, and the planet.
