We are an Oxfordshire charity that supports people with mental health problems to do things that they want to do. We provide training, encouragement, a supportive environment, the chance to achieve, and one to one support. We believe that everyone has talents and abilities, and the capacity to make a valuable contribution to the community. We believe that people with mental health problems have the right to work and the right to the support they need to become and remain employed. We believe that the stigma associated with mental health problems damages the whole community and we work to challenge this discrimination. We run four services. These cover a range of opportunities. Three of these services are therapeutic work rehabilitation services. They are Elder Stubbs Garden Group (based in Oxford), the Beehive (based in Oxford), and RESTORE at Fleet Meadow (based in Didcot). These are land and craft based groups which provide a safe, supportive and work like environment that encourages positive change.

Rhino Fund Uganda
UgandaAnimals/Wildlife
Our sanctuary was created to reintroduce rhinoceros to Uganda which have been extinct since 1982. Our 70 square kilometer sanctuary in pristine bush country is currently home to the only wild rhinos in Uganda. Our long term goal is to build a sustainable rhino population and relocate rhinos back to their original habitat in Uganda's protected areas. In addition to the rhino breeding program, Rhino Fund Uganda also runs community upliftment and education programs in the surrounding villages. Rhino Fund Uganda helps with both the animals inside the sanctuary and in the community at large. Due to poaching for bush meat, which is very common in our area, there are many abandoned young animals. Some of the young that are found by local people are brought to the sanctuary. We provide expert care, rehabilitate, and release these animals at our sanctuary. Some of our recent patients have been duikers, reedbucks, bushbucks, and vervet monkeys.

RIPPLE Africa
United KingdomResearch/Dev
Geoff and Liz Furber started RIPPLE Africa in 2003. They have a passion for Africa, and in particular the area and the people around Mwaya, Malawi, where the charity is based. Geoff brings a wealth of commercial experience to RIPPLE Africa, having run his own business for over 25 years, and Liz has a sound administrative background. The combination of their skills has meant that the charity has developed into an effective, fun and well run organisation. They are realists, not idealists, and believe in giving a hand up, not a hand out. RIPPLE Africa is very different to most charities working in Africa. Normally, so much money is wasted on administration, monitoring, report writing, inefficient systems, etc., that very little money actually finds its way to the people who the donors wish to help. RIPPLE Africa is based at Mwaya Beach and has minimal local overheads. The charity deals directly with the local communities, and it is made clear that RIPPLE Africa helps people who help themselves.
