• ActionAid

  

  ActionAid is one of the UK's largest international development charities working in over 45 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. ActionAid tackles the effects of poverty. We also change what keeps people poor. ActionAid improves people’s lives every day. But we know that’s not enough. So we work relentlessly to change whatever is keeping them trapped in poverty. This means we have a better chance of ending poverty for good.

• Age UK

  

  We believe that age needs respect. It needs kindness. Sometimes it needs help. Because there is strength in numbers, Age Concern and Help the Aged have joined forces to become Age UK – so that we can be here for everyone in later life. Age UK also works with HelpAge International to support more than 300 overseas partners in 41 developing countries. We work together to help create a world in which older people flourish.

  We are a movement of ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights, our purpose is to protect individuals wherever justice, fairness, freedom and truth are denied.

• Mildmay International

  

  Mildmay has been a pioneer in HIV since 1988. We opened Europe’s first AIDS hospice, where Princess Diana famously shook hands with an AIDS patient.

  Our hospital in the UK is now Europe’s only dedicated rehabilitation centre for HIV, dealing with the most complex cases of HIV. Mildmay also cares for thousands and thousands of people living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe, supporting marginalised and unreached people.

• Oxfam

  

  Oxfam is a development, relief, and campaigning organisation that works with others to find lasting solutions to poverty and suffering around the world. Oxfam believes that in a world rich in resources, poverty isn't a fact of life but an injustice that must be overcome. We believe that everyone is entitled to a life of dignity and opportunity; and we work with poor communities, local partner organisations, volunteers, and supporters to make this a reality.

• Save The Children

  

  We’re the world’s independent children’s charity. We’re outraged that millions of children are still denied proper healthcare, food, education and protection. We’re working flat out to get every child their rights and we’re determined to make further, faster changes. How many? How fast? It’s up to you.

• UNICEF

  

  UNICEF works with families, communities and governments in more than 190 countries to transform children’s lives by protecting and promoting their rights to education, health, childhood, to be treated fairly and to be heard. UNICEF has more than 60 years’ experience working for children. On the ground we distribute life-saving supplies such as water kits and mosquito nets, and provide support and training. We create opportunities for young people to participate and make their voices heard. We use our influence at the highest levels of government to ensure that laws and policies work in the best interests of children. UNICEF receives no funding from the UN budget. We are funded entirely by voluntary contributions and are only able to carry out our vital work thanks to the contributions of our supporters.

• WaterAid

  

  WaterAid enables the world’s poorest people to gain access to safe water and sanitation. Together with improved hygiene, these basic human rights underpin health, education and livelihoods, forming the first essential step in overcoming poverty. WaterAid and its partners use practical solutions to provide safe water, effective sanitation and hygiene education to the world’s poorest people. We also seek to influence policy at national and international levels.

• WWF

  

  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. We do this by conserving the world’s biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.
