Ignite Life is a youth charity that has been in operation since 2019. We provide frontline, tailored services to disadvantaged young people and families impacted by poverty, adversity, mental health challenges, food poverty, and more. We strive to deliver lasting impact and build resilience among young people through our three core services: youth 1:1 mentoring, mental health services (1:1 counselling, family counselling, talking therapy and trauma-informed parenting workshops) and food provision. We are dedicated to tackling inequality and ensuring that no disadvantaged young person slips through the net.

Exeter Leukaemia Fund (ELF)’s vision is that every family affected by blood cancer and blood disorders across Devon receives compassionate, tailored support. Blood cancer can affect anybody of any age and over 3,000 people will be diagnosed with a haematological cancer this year in the Southwest. Treatment for blood cancer often requires lengthy procedures meaning days, weeks, or months at a time in and out of hospital and, in a lot of cases, years of follow up appointments. ELF led the fundraising efforts to create the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital’s Haematology Centre, which opened in 2003, and continues to support the centre and the hundreds of patients who attend it each week. ELF supports families from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond, with services including transport, accommodation, counselling, aromatherapy, equipment, financial and legal services.

Derby Kids' Camp are an entirely volunteer-run charity providing free holidays for over 300 young children every year. The kids are nominated for a holiday by their schools, and are in real need of a break from challenges including bereavement, financial difficulties, social interaction challenges, being a young carer and more.

Consultation was carried out with our visually impaired service users about what was important to them. One of the issues identified was loss of identity and self-worth after developing sight loss. Women with a vision impairment often said that they lost confidence and struggled with their self-esteem. It was apparent that feeling good with oneself is centred around one’s appearance.
