These
days there are thousands of charities around the world and it is possible to
donate money to help people, animals and places.
Mencap
is a charity which is dedicated to fighting against discrimination towards
those people who suffer from any kind of learning disabilities. Most of Mencap's
work is campaigning. People with learning disabilities are disadvantaged
because of discrimination and lack of funding for community care. Mencap raises
awareness by working at local, national and European levels to deal with those
issues that affect people with disabilities. It also provides services of
education, housing and employment as well as support and advice for families
and carers of sufferers.
EveryChild
is a relatively new charity which was created in 1983. EveryChild identifies
the needs of a particular community and then sets up projects to ensure that
children in these communities have basic rights such as healthcare, education,
social services and community development. EveryChild sets up the projects so
that they are self running. The organization then moves on to new projects,
leaving things in the hands of locals.
The
RSPCA (Royal Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is the first organization dedicated to the
well-being of animals anywhere in the world. The RSPCA was set up in London in
1824. At this time it was considered strange that people should care about
cruelty to animals. In 1840 Queen Victoria gave the organization permission to
be called a royal society: The RSPCA. These days there are almost two hundred
branches in the UK.
The
TBG (Tidy Britain Group) is an
independent national charity fighting to improve the quality of the local
environment. They aim to get everyone involved in doing their bit to keep
Britain clean. The work of the TBG is done mainly through campaigning.
Volunteers work closely with governments and businesses to organize educational
programmes designed to raise awareness of the problems. The TBG's sister
organization, Going for Green, concentrates on pollution issues. The two groups
have the same chief executive.
