Knitters urgently required for Charity Clowns
Hope and Aid Direct need lots more knitted clowns to take on their regular convoys of aid to Kosovo. These are distributed to the poor children who have often never had a cuddly toy to love

Founded in 1999 Hope and Aid Direct is a 100% voluntary, humanitarian aid charity whose team members raise their own funds, obtain donations of aid, transport that aid in convoys of lorries twice a year, and give it out directly into the hands of the people who need it the most. The donations are made by the public, churches, clubs, schools and companies. The convoys often carry out humanitarian work whilst they are away. Hope and Aid Direct has been involved in projects such as rebuilding bombed schools, renovating orphanages, and delivering aid for third parties who would not be as welcome in some areas.

Volunteers come from every corner of the UK and from all walks of life. Whilst in recent years most of our work has been carried out in Kosovo, we have also distributed humanitarian aid in Romania, Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.

Communication Workers Union Humanitarian Aid  (Registered Charity Number 1078312)

Our Charity is a direct response to the plight of vulnerable children in other countries. We have sent 30 convoys delivering nearly 2,000 tonnes of much needed aid to hundreds of orphanages, foster & adoption centres and direct to vulnerable families in Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Transnistria, Albania and Lithuania.

We pay no wage, all of the convoy drivers are volunteers. Our volunteers actually deliver the aid direct to the places where it is needed most. This way, Donors can therefore be confident that their generosity will be translated in to aid at the point of need!
The CWUHA office is also run at virtually no cost because thanks to the CWU and BT, we pay no rent, and no phone/email bills.

The 10 lorries and fuel cards are loaned to us free of charge by Royal Mail & BT, along with special leave for the drivers. Our local site for the West Sussex and Hampshire area is www.theaidconvoy.org.

Our next convoy of 10 lorries will be to Panagyurishte Orphanage, Bulgaria, in September 2008.

Growing Care is a charity specifically promoting self sufficiency. This is being achieved by teaching deprived and poor youngsters the skills required to run a small holding. This knowledge can then be passed onto others who will be able to cultivate the land and care for livestock in their own small holding.
Hopefully, they will become completely self sufficient with excess goods to sell at market to help pay for other items they require. The first training centre is currently being set up at Siminoc in Romania.

Disabled and frail older people have a brilliant day out at a gallery or museum with Access to Art, a London based charity. We collect our members from their home in an accessible minibus and our volunteers provide one to one assistance at the gallery. "I didn't believe there would be an organisation the provides this service" said our 99 year old member "I thought it was too good to be true"! Over the year we support over 1000 visits to the galleries such as the Tate, Royal Academy of Arts or the National Gallery. For many isolated and housebound people this has been a real lifeline.
