FareShare is the UK's largest charity tackling the environmental problem of food waste to support social good. We use surplus food to power over 8,000 local charities to strengthen their communities.
Our work centres around redistributing nutritious and good-to-eat food to charities across the UK, from school breakfast clubs and older people's lunch clubs to homeless shelters and community cafes.
We believe that no good to eat food should go to waste.
" The variety of food delivered by FareShare allows our customers the dignity of choice and gives them access to fresh fruit and veg. Our closest supermarket is a round trip of 25 miles and we have a very limited public transport system, so our community larder is really a lifeline to many". FareShare charity partner and food recipient, 2024.

Every 20 minutes in the UK, a child will experience the death of a parent/carer. The darkest, most challenging days for children and young people following the death of someone close can be held by Grief Encounter, a vital national bereavement charity. We directly support over 1,300 children, young people, and their family members across England and Wales each year, online, by phone and face-to-face via our clinical hubs in London and Bristol.
Without receiving the help they need, how and when they need it most, grieving children and young people may go on to suffer repercussions that adversely affect healthy lifestyles and choices. This can lead to prolonged school absence, future unemployment and tragically sometimes, death by despair.
Grief Encounter help families navigate grief and provide a safe space for conversation and healing through a dedicated Bereavement Support team, 1-2-1 and group therapeutic support, weekend residential camps, family fun days and grief support resources including our Grief Relief Kit.

The Royal Society for Blind Children believe in a better life for blind children.
We are on a mission to make sure every single blind child in England and Wales has the self-belief and skills to fulfil the potential we know they’ve got.
Make no mistake – helping blind children to believe they can achieve will take time and money. But we’ll do it from the ground up, working with our wonderful donors and volunteers to deliver the five things we believe will transform the life chances of every blind child in England and Wales:
1. Helping parents first: To change the future for blind children and young people we need to change how parents cope with their child’s diagnosis. RSBC’s Families First service can be on hand from the moment parents hear the news to offer practical advice and emotional support so parents understand sight loss, adapt and build the self-belief that their family can live beyond it.
2. Excellent and inclusive education: It’s our aim to make every moment of a blind student’s education experience a positive one: helping them to achieve their full potential and to develop socially. Through this they’ll have a springboard to make the most of the next chapter of their life. We’ll do this by growing Dorton College, our popular specialist further education college and building a mainstream education programme focussed on inclusivity and digital fluency that acts as a beacon for other schools in the UK.
3. Build friendships and character: We’re going to help children and young people build the kinds of friendships that help them grow as a person. Together, through our social groups, sport and well-being clubs, and creative programmes they’ll learn new skills, make friends and experience moments that will give them the confidence to take on life on life’s terms.
4. Getting young people job ready: To solve the high levels of unemployment and poverty among blind young people we’ll ensure that the young people we work with have the practical job skills and self-belief that they will need to get a job through our work skills services.
5. Harnessing technology: We firmly believe that every day and emerging technology has the power to solve many of the challenges that blind children and young people experience. We work with tech experts to develop and build technology solutions to address those challenges.

1 in 2 people are diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime. For us, that’s 1 in 2 too many. Our solution? At Worldwide Cancer Research, we believe that bold research will cure cancer and the first step is the most important. That’s why we back the brightest research minds all around the world in their quest to find the cures for a disease that affects so many lives. Without taking that crucial first step with discovery research, scientists can’t find new preventions, treatments and cures for cancer.
Since we started in 1979, we have invested £200 million into cancer research in over 30 countries.Because cancer is a global problem.
One day cancer will no longer be feared – the more pioneering cancer research we can fund with your help, the sooner that day will come.
Welsh Women’s Aid is the national charity in Wales working to end domestic abuse and all forms of violence against women.

We have been at the forefront of shaping coordinated community responses and practice in Wales since we were established in 1978.

At Help for Heroes, we believe those who serve our country deserve support when they’re wounded.

We help them, and those still serving, to recover and get on with their lives. We give them physical, psychological, career, financial and welfare support when they need it. We also support their families, because they too can be affected by their loved one’s wounds.

So far, with your help, we've supported more than 22,000 people, but we know that many more still need us. We won’t stop until every wounded veteran gets the support they deserve.

Welcome to Rethink Mental Illness. We help millions of people affected by mental illness by challenging attitudes, changing lives. Here is just a selection about what we do, and what it means for you.
Who are we?
We believe a better life is possible for millions of people affected by mental illness.
Over 40 years ago, one man bravely spoke about his family's experiences of mental illness in a letter to the Times and in the process brought together hundreds to talk about their experiences of mental illness and support each other.
Today we directly support almost 60,000 people every year across England to get through crises, to live independently and to realise they are not alone. And we change attitudes and policy for millions.
Practical Action is an international development organisation that puts ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world.
Practical Action helps people find solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. Challenges made worse by climate change and gender inequality. It works with communities to develop ingenious, lasting and locally owned solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience and clean energy. And it shares what works with others, so answers that start small can grow big.
We believe that people with disabilities are equal participants in society and should have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. This is the vision we work towards and the reason we exist.
We support people with learning disabilities, mental health needs and physical disabilities to take live as independently as possible. Founded in 1973 with just one service in West Sussex, we now support around 2000 people in over 300 locations across England and Wales.
We provide everything from 24 hour care, to a few hours of support a week. We support some of the most vulnerable people in society to live happy and productive lives in their community. The key is that we work with each person to do the things they want to do, supporting them to communicate what they want and tell us how we are doing.
As well as providing support, we run campaigns on the latest social care issues, organise fundraising schemes and events, and provide guidance and information on a range of topics.

When you sponsor a child with Plan International UK, you're not just helping one child - you're making improvements that benefit everyone in their community and beyond. Projects include building schools, digging wells, training teachers and providing vaccinations. Sponsorship educates an entire community, it improves medical infrastructure, it provides water and sanitation and ensures that a community is prepared for disaster, should an emergency happen.

We believe that research holds the key to a better world for people affected by dementia. That’s why since 1989, we have invested £94 million pounds into innovative research projects. Excitingly, these investments are paying off. Last year, we made 2 incredible research breakthroughs with the discovery of Lecanemab and Donanemab. In studies, these disease-modifying drugs have been shown to slow down the decline of thinking and memory problems in people living with early Alzheimer’s disease. Though we have made some great advances, there is still so much that needs to be done. There are still over 250,000 people in the UK without a dementia diagnosis and struggling to cope….
Together, we are help and hope for everyone living with dementia.

The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is a conservation charity that saves wetlands, which are essential for life itself. Wetlands are the primary source of drinking water for people and wildlife. They also connect us with nature, and with ourselves, through beautiful landscapes and inspiring encounters with wildlife.
WWT's ethos starts with the simple act of feeding a duck. That innocent connection with nature is more special if you're feeding – say - the world's rarest goose, saved from extinction by our expert aviculturists. It's even more special if you're surrounded by some of the UK's top wildlife at one of our world class reserves, carefully designed and managed so wildlife will flourish.
We take this wetland expertise around the world. We rescue endangered species from the edge of extinction. We investigate what's damaging the wetlands on which people and wildlife depend. We protect, repair and actually create exciting new wetlands for people and wildlife.
We work with communities, businesses and governments to help people live sustainably alongside wetlands, benefitting from the water, food, materials, shelter, livelihoods and enjoyment a well-managed wetland can provide.
WWT is one of the world's leading science and conservation institutions in its field. But we're unique because we never forget it all starts with the simple pleasures, like feeding a duck. And maybe a nice cup of tea.

Spinal Research is the UK's leading charity funding medical research around the world to develop reliable treatments for paralysis caused by a broken back or neck.
Every year, 1,000 people in the UK and Ireland are paralysed following an injury to their spinal cord. Spinal Research raises money to fund research into clinical treatments as well as vital basic science research. Thanks to such pioneering research, paralysis can now be treated and we stand on the brink of applying therapies that will restore movement and feeling and transform the lives of paralysed people.
Our pioneering research relies on dynamic fundraising and the help of our tireless supporters. We have funded over 120 research projects which have achieved a number of groundbreaking changes in the field.
We believe that, with everybody's help, paralysis can be beaten.

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only UK charity wholly dedicated to beating lung cancer. We support patients and their families with our nurse led helpline and national support groups. We fund various research projects aiming to detect lung cancer earlier and at a time in which curative treatment becomes a reality.
Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. Man, woman, young, old, smoker and non-smoker, lung cancer does not discriminate, but sadly people do. Lung cancer claims far more lives than any other cancer type in the UK, yet shockingly it receives the least funding. Sadly outcomes for patients are extremely poor with the average survival rate just under 6 months.
Together we have the potential to revolutionise the future of lung cancer, giving patients and their families the attention and support they deserve. Through raising awareness, challenging the stigma, campaigning for improved treatments and funding more research, with your help we hope to support all those living with lung cancer.
Every day, we match incredible individuals willing to donate their blood stem cells or bone marrow to people with blood cancer and blood disorders who desperately need lifesaving transplants.
We also conduct world-class research into stem cell matching and transplants, so we can make sure every person in need gets the best possible treatment.
There are hundreds of thousands of children in the UK whose lives are devastated by disease and disability.
It's too many. Far too many. Research can put a stop to this.
For more than 60 years Action Medical Research has helped pioneer treatments and ways to prevent disease that have benefited millions of people in the UK and across the world. Our research has helped to beat polio in the UK, develop ultrasound in pregnancy, fight meningitis and prevent stillbirths.
But we urgently need to develop more new treatments and cures for sick babies and children and we can't do it without you. Medical research for children is underfunded in the UK. For every project Action funds there's another one we have to turn away – simply because of a lack of funds.
Join our fight for little lives today and help save and change children's lives.

People are being pushed to the brink and into homelessness. By setting up a Payroll Gift for Crisis today, you can help end homelessness in Great Britain.
All of us need a decent home – to be healthy and to thrive. Currently though, this basic human need isn’t being met for so many people across the UK. This is unacceptable. At Crisis we work side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness.
Our vision is to end homelessness for good.
How do we help?
We work directly with people experiencing or at risk of homelessness in 9 areas across England, Scotland and Wales, providing practical one-to-one support to help people access benefits, healthcare services, employment opportunities, and more. Our main aim is to relieve the huge pressure of homelessness, by helping people find safe and affordable homes as quickly as possible.
As well as helping to end homelessness for individuals, we work to address the root causes that push people into homelessness in the first place. We campaign on the political changes needed to end homelessness for good and conduct research to understand and highlight the scale, causes and consequences of homelessness.
Our impact and mission
Find out more about our impact.
Why is Payroll Giving Important at Crisis?
When you become a Payroll Giver for Crisis, you’re providing us with a regular and reliable source of income, allowing us to continue our year-round services, plan for the future and help people on their journey out of homelessness.
Payroll Giving is a vital source of income for Crisis and is one of the most straight-forward and tax-efficient ways our supporters can give.
Become a Payroll Giver for Crisis today and help end homelessness for good.

Tommy's funds research into pregnancy problems and provides information to parents. We believe it is unacceptable that one in four women lose a baby during pregnancy and birth.
When a pregnancy fails or a baby dies, it causes devastation. Twenty three years ago, frustrated at the lack of research that meant they could rarely tell families why their babies were dying, two obstetricians in St Thomas' Hospital in London were inspired to start a campaign for more research into pregnancy problems.
Soon, their cause was taken up by others and a charity known as 'Tommy's' (after St Thomas' Hospital) was born.Maternal and fetal research image
That was 1992.
Today, we lead the way in maternal and fetal research in the UK.
What we do
We're the UK's leading bowel cancer charity. We're determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. Our vision is a future where nobody dies of the disease.
We support
We provide expert information and support for everyone affected by bowel cancer. Our online forum is a place for people to share their experience and support each other. Our website has lots of high-quality information about bowel cancer and we publish a range of helpful materials.
We campaign
We campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care. We're leading change for younger bowel cancer patients, campaigning to improve survival and quality of life for those with advanced bowel cancer and working to improve early diagnosis by ensuring people are getting the right test at the right time.
We fund research
Our research strategy puts patients and their families at the heart of our research programme. We're committed to funding research that improves the prevention, early detection and treatment of the disease.
We educate
We run training, workshops, and study days for healthcare professionals. We also have a dedicated team of volunteers who give free awareness talks to workplaces and community groups across the UK, spreading the word about symptoms, risk factors and bowel cancer screening.
Early diagnosis
We’re campaigning to improve early diagnosis by ensuring people have access to the right test at the right time. Around 16,000 people die from bowel cancer each year, making it the UK’s second biggest cancer killer. However, this shouldn’t be the case as the disease is treatable and curable, especially if diagnosed early. An estimated 9 in 10 people will survive bowel cancer if diagnosed at the earliest stage.
Hope stops when you become homeless.
Last year, over 122,000 young people, aged 16-25, approached their local council because they were homeless or at risk of homelessness. Many of whom have suffered violence, abuse, and neglect in their young lives and have never been given the opportunity to thrive.
Centrepoint is the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, supporting over 14,000 young people every year. Our first objective has always been to provide a safe and secure place to call home for vulnerable young people. But Centrepoint's support extends far beyond a bed.

Once ready, young people are encouraged to access Centrepoint’s education and employment programmes; helping them to look forward to their futures. This holistic approach has resulted in 94% of young people who leave Centrepoint moving on positively.
Since 1969, we have transformed the lives of over 150,000 young people. At Centrepoint, we can be a turning point for young people. With your support, we can continue to give thousands of homeless young people across the country a second chance. Become a payroll giver today and help Centrepoint’s mission to end youth homelessness by 2037, so that we can end homelessness for the next generation.
Our vision is that everyone has a place to call home and can fulfil their hopes and ambitions.

When a child is fighting a life-threatening condition, it has a huge impact on them and their whole family. The children Make-A-Wish support are often enduring things most of us could never imagine. They’re going through gruelling treatment, endless medical appointments and spending time in hospital away from their home, friends and family. A far cry from the childhood they should be enjoying.
Granting their wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition. They’re given quality time away from the daily realities of living with their condition and have the chance to make magical memories they can treasure forever – whatever their future may hold.
Over more than 30 years, Make-A-Wish has transformed the lives of more than 11,000 desperately ill children by granting their wishes. By giving a regular donation you can help grant these life-changing wishes. Thank you.

WaterAid is an international not-for-profit, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation.
Since we started in 1981, we’ve remained resolutely focused on tackling these three essentials that transform people’s lives. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can unlock their potential, break free from poverty, and change their lives for good. Children grow up healthy and strong, women and men get to earn a living, whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be.
By inspiring people and sparking chain reactions we help deliver lasting change in what’s normal. By working closely with partners internationally and on the ground in some of the toughest places in the world, we help achieve widespread change. Millions of people have already taken control of their lives and built better futures.
Now we are working with our supporters and partners to get clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to everyone, everywhere by 2030. It’s about more than installing taps, toilets, boreholes and wells. To make lasting change happen on a massive scale, we:
• convince governments to change laws;
• link policy makers with people on the ground;
• change attitudes and behaviours;
• pool knowledge and resources; and
• rally support from people and organisations around the world.
• Together, we will change millions of lives for the better – and change normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation.

Project Youth Cancer supports teenagers and young adults with cancer, throughout their treatment and beyond.
Our teenage years are unique to every other stage of our lives. It’s the bridge between childhood and adulthood. At a time when these young people are tasting independence and looking forward to adult life, a cancer diagnosis is its most cruel.
Around 2,300 young people aged 13-24 are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK. Imagine being a teenager or young adult and having to juggle the unique challenges that this time brings – on top of dealing with a cancer diagnosis and the huge impact of treatment.
The far-reaching impact of cancer does not end when treatment ends. The impact of a cancer diagnosis can continue for many years, especially with the impact on mental health. Project Youth Cancer pledges to be there to support teenagers and young adults with cancer, throughout their treatment and beyond.
The charity provides bespoke care for young people with cancer, which includes a new one-to-one counselling service for young patients, so they have somewhere to talk freely when they are protecting loved ones from the harsh reality of their illness and treatment. They may benefit from having some special holistic therapies as a treat or as a distraction which we offer as a charity. They may be eligible for scalp cooling, which is a process used during chemotherapy to prevent hair loss, which is now being made available to our age through our partnership with Paxman.
Like so many things in life, cancer care is not a one size fits all and as we evolve as an organisation, we are ensuring that young patients are treated as individuals and are treated as a whole – body and mind.
Every four hours, a person’s life is changed when they sustain a spinal cord injury (SCI). Their world – and that of their family – is turned upside-down.
Our NHS helps put newly injured people on the road to rebuilding their lives; we guide them throughout the rest of the journey.
Our holistic approach to supporting SCI people and their loved ones means we provide the time, expertise and connections essential to making pathways towards a fulfilled life.
Spinal cord injury can be caused by accidents, illnesses and health conditions.
Our aim is to be the go-to place for everyone affected by spinal cord injury (SCI), so that we can quickly connect them to the vast network of people, organisations and services they need.
We won’t stop until we live in a world where every spinal cord injured person gets the chance to lead a fulfilled life.
Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world, and currently there is no cure.

Dogs Trust is the UK's largest dog welfare charity. The charity rehabilitates and finds new homes for dogs which have been abandoned or given up by their owners. They have a network of Rehoming Centres across the UK and Ireland. People are encouraged to sponsor a dog for at least £1 a week, even if they are not able to rehome the dog.
For the dogs that have had a particularly bad start in life and would not be happy living in a normal home environment, the charity takes care of these dogs with funds from the dog sponsorship. They have also created a sanctuary where selected dogs can live together free from excessive human contact.
It also runs microchipping and neutering schemes in the United Kingdom and abroad, in order to reduce the number of unwanted litters of puppies and stray dogs put to sleep by other organisations.
The charity is best known for its slogan "A Dog is for Life, not just for Christmas", which is used either in full or shortened to "A Dog is for Life" in advertising. The phrase was created to reduce the number of dogs which are abandoned as unwanted.
Dogs Trust also also actively campaign to protect dogs from cruelty including: docking of tails and unecessary euthanasia

Education has the power to transform childrens futures. We are helping millions of children go to school and improve their skills for a brighter tomorrow.
Living on the streets or in refugee camps, or shut away in institutions – wherever children are vulnerable, they need protection from abuse, exploitation and neglect.
Save the Children started in Britain in 1919 and started working with children here soon after. Today we continue, through our UK programmes and campaigning, to tackle child poverty here at home, so children, whatever their background, have the chance to fulfil their potential

- Children with an intellectual disability are socially excluded and 8 out of 10 are bullied.
- 1 in 2 families with an intellectually disabled child live in poverty.
- 1 in 3 people with an intellectual disability are obese.
- Many experience emotional/health problems associated with inactivity, as well as a shockingly lower life expectancy.
Donations help us reach new athletes, offer more training and competition and transform more lives through sport.

We aim to inspire the development of a society free from stigma and discrimination, where everyone can achieve their potential to flourish and thrive.

About Cancer Research UK
Almost 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetimes, and all of us will be affected by it.
The challenge is only growing, but so is the opportunity.
Cancer Research’s manifesto sets out the measures and commitments the next government can make to help prevent 20,000 cancer deaths every year by 2040.
A national commitment to reduce the cancer mortality rate by 15% by 2040 – preventing 20,000 cancer deaths every year.
In the last decade, cancer mortality rates have fallen by 10% 3, and are projected to fall by a further 6% by 2040. This is all thanks to the power of groundbreaking research, improvements in healthcare and the tireless efforts of NHS staff.
£5 per month
Giving £5 a month buys 100 plastic test tubes, which are the understated tools of any experiment
£10 per month
This would buy a box of microscope slides, which enables our scientists to study the inner workings of cells
£20 per month
£20 buys a digital PCR assay, which scans a piece of genetic material to find cancer-causing mutations. Finding out what causes cancer could help our scientists beat it.

Changing Childhoods. Changing Lives
For over 150 years, Barnardo’s has been here for children and young people who need us most – bringing love, care and hope into their lives and giving them a place where they feel they belong. Barnardo’s is here because too many children and young people across the UK are missing out on a good childhood, and on the opportunity to thrive when they become adults. Some children, families and communities face more challenges on top of this because of structural inequalities and discrimination in society. This can mean they’re more likely to have poor health and fewer chances in life.
We simply don’t think that’s fair.
And in one of the largest economies in the world, we know we can do better and we’re committed to driving positive change. And as a charity we’ll continue to be here for as long as we’re needed – working with children and young people to be safe, happy, healthy and hopeful. We will never, ever give up on the things that matter to them - and we’ll do everything we can to give them a place where they feel like they belong.
Regular gifts help us provide essential ongoing support to thousands of children and young people. An ongoing gift from your pay could help us do the following:
£5 a month could help to pay for energy costs.
£8 a month could help pay for activities to improve mental wellbeing.
£10 a month could help provide long-term specialist counselling for a child.
£15 a month could help to feed a family.

We are Leukaemia UK. We believe research has the power to stop leukaemia devastating lives.
Leukaemia doesn’t discriminate. It affects people of all ages – from babies to grandparents. More people are living longer with leukaemia but, despite decades of progress only half of leukaemia patients live longer than five years after their diagnosis*. We won’t stop until we change this.
What if through research, we could accelerate progress and improve the lives of people affected by leukaemia today and in the future? By bringing together the experience and expertise of people who are living and working with leukaemia, we will do everything we can to make sure that the next person diagnosed has the best possible experience.
We are building a research programme based on evidence and our insight from patients and from the scientific and healthcare community. Our research work will tackle needs and fill gaps to ensure we meet what matters most to the leukaemia community.
We will be guided by our supporters, researchers, healthcare professionals and people living with leukaemia to fund and prioritise the leukaemia research that matters most, helping improve the patient experience, from diagnosis to treatment and care.
The County Air Ambulance Trust is an independent air ambulance charity founded in 1993.
They launched the Helicopter Emergency Landing Pads (HELP) Appeal in 2009. It was borne out of recognition that the biggest single deficiency in the helicopter emergency medical services network was the lack of suitable and available helipads at our Major Trauma and key A&E hospitals:
In an emergency, when time is of the essence, every second is vital in getting patients to the lifesaving treatment they require. Helipads are vital in saving valuable minutes for critical patients in major trauma situations. For many patients, a helipad could represent the difference between life and death. We are the only charity raising funds for these vital emergency helicopter landing pads and are committed to supporting a number of helipad projects across the country.

At Oxfam, we believe a kinder and radically better world is possible. And to achieve it, we must work together to fight the injustices and inequalities that fuel poverty.
That's what Oxfam is about. A global movement of millions of people, united by a sense of compassion and justice, determined to help build a better world.
It started in 1942, when a small group of like-minded people came together to do something simple but radical. To challenge the UK government to lift the wartime blockade and send food parcels that people desperately needed in occupied Greece.
The vital work that began that night, continues today, in so many different forms. Providing essential supplies to families hit by the world's worst conflicts and natural disasters. Working with communities to get clean water running. Fighting for long-lasting change such as helping people earn a fair wage. And campaigning against climate change. We act in solidarity with communities, partners, and activists across 67 countries, driving their own change for a more equal future.
Every action, big or small, fuels the work that the world needs, to end the injustice of poverty.
That's why payroll giving is so powerful: it's a simple step you can take, and it means you'll be part of that change, around the world, every month.
Please sign up to donate to Oxfam through your payroll today, and be part of the movement to end poverty with every payslip.

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world (and their family’s) can feel like it’s falling apart.

Young Lives vs Cancer is there to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.
We’re the only charity in the UK with social workers who dedicate their time to provide tailored psychosocial support to children and young people with cancer and their families.
Please help us to be there for more children and young people facing cancer by setting up a tax-free regular gift direct from your salary.

The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea, they provide on call a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service around the UK and Ireland, and a seasonal lifeguard service. With their lifeboats, lifeguards, safety advice and flood rescue, we are committed to saving lives.
At the RNLI, we are committed to using robust evidence to support all of our lifesaving activity.
We use this evidence in a number of ways: from using cutting-edge science to engineer and design our boats to applying innovative social research methods to ensure that we understand our supporters. The diversity of the RNLIs research, insight and analysis reflects the wide range of work we undertake to save lives at sea.
RNLI researchers and analysts produce in-house analysis, as well as working with experts from academia and the private sector.
In addition they work internationaly to provide communities with knowledge, equipment and skills to reduce the number of water related deaths.
We believe that a home is a fundamental right - it’s the foundation on which our lives are built, it opens the door to employment, health, education, and it’s the basis of strong communities.
Yet millions of people in Britain are denied the right to a safe home. Shelter exists to defend that right, and every day, we stand alongside those most at risk from the housing emergency through our campaigns for change, emergency support and specialist legal advice.
Because home is everything.
Wildlife needs you
Our wildlife is amazing – but it’s in crisis. In the last 50 years over 38 million birds have vanished from our skies and the UK is now one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries. But we know that we can turn this around, if we all act now. Thanks to people like you, we have helped bring species back from the brink, including birds such as Avocets, Bitterns, Red Kites and White-tailed Eagles.
Here are some of the ways we’re helping birds and wildlife:
Saving threatened species
The UK coastline supports internationally important populations of seabirds. But many are struggling. Back in 2000, Puffins were close to being wiped out on Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel due to predation by non-native rats. To tackle this, we joined forces with Natural England, the Landmark Trust and the National Trust, and in 2006 Lundy was declared rat-free. In 2023, we celebrated a nine-decade high for seabirds breeding on the island, with Puffins having increased from just 13 in 2000 to 1,335.
Restoring habitats
We are determined to protect and restore wild spaces, to give birds and other wildlife the habitat they need to survive and thrive. Bitterns are a wetland bird that in 1997 were down to just 11 booming males in the UK. But through dedicated RSPB work and conservation measures, they’ve been brought back from the brink. Thanks to improvements to their reedbed habitat, numbers have boomed and, in 2023, a survey recorded 234 male Bitterns across the UK.
Speaking up for nature
Turtle Doves are globally threatened birds, whose numbers in the UK have plummeted by 99% since the 1960s. These migratory birds have been hit hard by changes in UK farming practices, as well as unsustainable hunting in southwest Europe. Through Operation Turtle Dove, we’re working with farmers, landowners and volunteers to improve breeding habitat and food availability in the UK. And, thanks to continued efforts, a ban on hunting in France, Spain and Portugal was extended for a third year in 2023, saving an estimated one million birds annually.

Hospice care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying. Letting people focus on living, right until the end.
But too many people miss out on this essential care. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.
As the national champion for hospices, we fight to make sure hospice care is there for everyone, from every background. We fight to make sure hospices are able to deliver the best, personalised care. We fight to make sure hospices can thrive – today and into the future.
We represent the community of more than 200 hospices across the UK. They do everything they can for children and adults living with long-term illnesses or approaching the end of their lives. We do everything we can to support hospices’ invaluable work.
Right now, the UK’s hospices care for about 300,000 people each year. That number is going to get even bigger in the coming years. But hospices are underfunded, undervalued and under more pressure than ever.
Our mission is to promote and protect hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.
Our vision is a future where no-one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Since founder Steve Dayman lost his son, Spencer, to meningitis and septicaemia and started the meningitis movement in the early 1980s, we have funded more than £12million of vital research through the Spencer Dayman Research Fund. Our Search for a Vaccine campaign has supported the development of 4 vaccines against forms of meningitis & meningococcal disease. Three of these vaccines have already saved thousands of lives and soon we have now seen the introduction of the fourth, the Men B vaccine, which we fought so hard to get introduced into the national immunisation programme.
