We are partnered with a school in
Wellingara
in Gambia.
We raise money to help and support their development.
Malaria and Mosquito Nets
Malaria kills 1500 children annually in the Gambia and it indirectly contributes to the death of hundreds more. It may also result in some physical and mental disabilities (sometimes permanent) to children under five as well as the adult population. About 85% of cases reported at health facilities are children under five years, followed by ante-natal patients (about 12%).
We have raised funds for mosquito nets and for resources used in their school to teach English.
We send Harvest parcels to local senior Citizens and to the
"
Glebe Centre"
an initiative by local Christian Churches in order to help the homeless, unemployed and generally disadvantaged people of Walsall .
 Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of
people affected by
cancer. We provide practical, medical and financial support and push for better cancer care.
We have had several Coffee Mornings to support this oragisation.
Operation Christmas Child is the world's largest children's Christmas project. Last year over 1.5 million shoe boxes from the UK were sent to childrens hospitals, orphanages, Internally Displaced Persons camps, homeless shelters and impoverished neighbourhoods around the world.
Every year the children and parents of Blue Coat Infants decorate and fill shoeboxes with a selection of tous, educational supplies, hygiene items, and items such as hats, gloves and sweets.
For some of the world's most disadvantaged children, the shoe box could be the first Christmas present they have ever recieved in their lives.
 Caring for young children with cancer and their families- in hospital and in the community.
Changing lives
We focus on achieving four core rights for children: health, freedom from hunger, education and protection.
Emergencies -"Support our work rebuilding lives shattered by disasters, such as the Haiti Earthquake and Afghanistan Emergency"
Campaigning -"We fight to End Child Poverty and give children the voice they deserve." 
Work with children and young people
We want children to belong, it’s that simple. We work with families in many ways including: fostering and adoption, disibilty fostering and adoption and coping with domestic violence.
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
"The NSPCC is inspired by a belief that we can make a difference for all children – by standing up for their rights, by listening to them, by helping them when they need us and by making them safe.
Our vision is ending cruelty to children in the UK. We believe cruelty is preventable and that through having an inspirational vision we will achieve much greater success for children."
"We take action to prevent, rescue and support children facing life trapped in a vicious circle of fear and harm; a vicious circle driven by violence, neglect, poverty and discrimination."
