The need for our services is huge:

One in seven children in Britain lives in overcrowded, dilapidated or temporary accommodation.
Children living in bad housing are almost twice as likely to suffer from poor health.
They are also more likely to miss school, be unhappy and run away from home.

When these children grow up, they are more likely to develop long term illnesses, to be out of work or on low pay, and to suffer from depression. 1.9 million households in Britain are on the waiting list for a council home. Nearly 75,000 homeless households in England are stuck in temporary accommodation

Thats why Shelter have launched this campaign to raise funds for our wide range of services and projects. We are hoping that this online advertising initiative will provide a long-term source of support, by educating and inspiring members of the public and showing them that a few pounds a month can make huge differences to the lives of families who are facing homelessness or enduring bad housing.

WWF is one of the largest independent global conservation organisations. WWF is best known for its programmes to protect endangered species and their habitats, and much of WWF’s work is in areas where the most critically endangered wildlife and the least protected habitats are found. However, this is only part of what they do.

WWF also works to address global threats to people and nature such as climate change and the unsustainable consumption of the world’s natural resources. They do this by influencing how governments, businesses and people think, learn and act in relation to the world around us, and by working with local communities to improve their livelihoods and the environment upon which we all depend.

WWF uses its practical experience, knowledge and credibility to create long-term solutions for the planet’s environment.

WWF Mission
WWF’s mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. WWF do this by:
• conserving the world’s biological diversity
• ensuring that the use of renewable resources is sustainable
• promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption

Becoming a Sponsor with Barnardos is probably one of the most heart warming experiences you can actually enjoy. As you read this now, a Child somewhere needs your help. one in three Children in the UK must make do without basic essentials.

Sponsoring a child with Barnardos really does do what it says, helping a real vulnerable child or young person who is desperate for your help.

In most cases, Children have no where to turn, except Barnardos and hopefully today, with you. If you believe in all Children no matter who they are or what they have been through then maybe and hopefully, you can become a sponsor.

The feeling you get from helping Barnardos is one that’s hard to explain, but it’s pretty much like being a Parent, knowing you are providing the money needed to help them, knowing they can enjoy a future and not just another problem.

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (“Guide Dogs“) is one of the UK’s best-known, and best-loved, charities. Guide dogs have been bringing independence and mobility to blind and partially-sighted people for over 75 years, and today there are more than 4,700 guide dog partnerships in the UK.

Each year Guide Dogs breeds around 1,000 puppies, which spend their first year in the homes of volunteers, before working with specialist trainers who teach them the skills needed to guide a visually-impaired person. This takes about six months, including several weeks’ training with the new owner. A guide dog has a working life of around six-and-a-half years, and it’s not unusual for someone to have five or more dogs over their lifetime.

While the guide dog service is at the core of our activities, there are two other key aspects to our work:

- Campaigning on issues that affect the quality of life of visually-impaired people and restrict their freedom and independence – such as access, mobility and the availability of rehabilitation services.

- Educating the public about protecting their eyes, and funding research into different eye diseases with the aim of
