Candlelighters supports children with cancer and their families. We fund research, family holidays, grants, essential additional services within the hospital and vital support for families battling children's cancer. On the Wards... we fund essential additional services from funding posts, to purchasing IT equipment, to building a state of the art Pavilion for families to take a break from the sounds and smells of the hospital. Family Support... whether we are supporting families financially, sending them on a much needed break or welcoming them to our brand new family support centre, The Square, we are there for families both practically and emotionally. Through Research... each year we plough hundreds of thousands of pounds into the research and study of children's cancer. We are proud this is funded by the people of Yorkshire with the potential for international impact. Although we are over 40 years into our journey, our aim today is the same as it has always been - to bring light and hope to ordinary families who are facing extraordinary circumstances.

Every day in the UK another 240 people wake up to the catastrophic impact of a stroke, which can leave survivors unable to move, see, speak, or even swallow. With strength, determination and the right support, recovery is possible. Surviving a stroke is just the start of a long and gruelling recovery journey. We support stroke survivors and their families to find the strength they need to find their way back to life. The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. We listen to and learn about what matters most to each stroke survivor, and to people who care for them. We know that we can only continue to provide the best stroke support with scientific progress and with changes to public policy. That’s why we also fund critical research and campaign to improve the lives of all stroke survivors. It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support. If you’d like to discover the different ways you can give your time to help stroke survivors, please get in touch by emailing regional.fundraising@stroke.org.uk

The Lullaby Trust is a charity that saves babies’ lives and supports bereaved families. Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and we are committed to bringing that number down to zero. Through educating parents on how they can reduce the risk of SIDS and investing over £12 million in research, we have played a key role in reducing the number of babies who die from SIDS by 82%, saving the lives of more than 29,000 babies. Each year we train thousands of health professionals to support parents in sleeping their baby safely. We campaign tirelessly to raise awareness of SIDS and ensure our life saving advice reaches all parents. The Lullaby Trust supports bereaved families, through our helpline and befriending scheme. Our work with the NHS to provide a Care of Next Infant Programme (CONI) offers a lifeline to bereaved families expecting a new baby.
