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.

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.
