Little Angels
Little Angels is a Kent based Angelman Syndrome charity which has been set up to achieve support and education to those families who are currently being affected by this rare genetic condition.
Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and causes severe physical and intellectual disability.
The typical characteristics of Angelman syndrome aren't usually apparent at birth. A child with Angelman syndrome will begin to show signs of delayed development at around 6-12 months, such as being unable to sit unsupported or make babbling noises.
Later, they may not speak at all or may only be able to say a few words. However, most children with Angelman syndrome will be able to communicate using gestures, signs or other systems.
The movement of a child with Angelman syndrome will also be affected. They may have difficulty walking because of problems with balance and co-ordination (ataxia). Their arms may tremble or move jerkily, and their legs may be stiffer than normal.

Steel Warriors
Steel Warriors was established in 2017. Our founders, Ben Wintour and Pia Fontes were driven by a desire to challenge conventional approaches to knife crime. They wanted to use the tonne of knife steel collected each month by the police to help young people develop more confidence to walk the streets unarmed, provide a healthy and affordable way to build physical strength, and support individuals in achieving their goals and earning a living. With the launch of the first gym in Tower Hamlets, our journey began. Today, we take pride in operating a growing number of gyms and showing young people that lives should be built on steel, not destroyed by it.
The Children's Book Project
STOP BOOK WASTE AND CHANGE LIVES
Thousands of children grow up in homes with very few books of their own, sometimes none at all. They have fewer opportunities to lose themselves in a story, for shared reading with a parent and to discover the world. Donate your new or pre-loved books to us and we will ensure that they are put straight into the hands of the children that need them most.
