The Brotherhood Legion CIC is an award-winning men's mental health movement in Leicester, redefining community support. With over 65 events and collaborations with nearly 100 businesses, we've built a hub of movement, conversation, and inclusion. Our initiatives go beyond just weekend session support, embracing hiking, art workshops, therapy sessions, and even offering counselling, Christmas dinner for the lonely, house renovations & homeless outreach.

We provide respite and end-of-life care to more than 400 babies, children and young people across the North West. The care we provide is free for families, but services cost £6 million to run every year. Our help extends right across the family to brothers, sisters, parents and grandparents.

Alex's Wish is a charity dedicated to conquering Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A progressive, life-limiting muscle-wasting disease that affects 1 in every 3,500 boys born. We are a family-run charity, set-up by Alex's parents 13 years ago after discovering there is not enough funding going into medical research to find treatments and a cure for those living with Duchenne in the UK.

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.

Ignite Life is a youth charity that has been in operation since 2019.

We are dedicated to tackling inequality and ensuring that no disadvantaged young person slips through the net.
