Charitable Organisations in Guernsey
NAS Guernsey Branch - your autism charitable organisation - Championing the rights and interests of all people with autism in the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
It is good to have a Guernsey Branch of NAS who help and advise parents. They also arrange a lot of outings and activities to get parents and families together to share and learn from each other. I have found them to be all very friendly and approachable members. Highly recomend any parents of Autism children to join this group.
GSPCA is a charitable organisation that prevents cruelty and promotes animal welfare in Guernsey offering a range of services including boarding facilities, dog/cat adoption, corporate days, fundraising events and more.
The GSPCA is wonderful , friendly, animal loving centre. The staff I have dealt with have always been polite and helpful whenever I have phoned or taken up a poorly creature.
Without the GSPCA more animals would certainly not survive unfortunate accidents or lost ones be re-united with owners. The shelter needs constant financial support but without the caring staff it would not be the same.
The Tumaini Fund is a charity set up in in Guernsey to offer support to the estimated 200,000 Aids orphans in Kagera, the poorest province of Tanzania, and to support the surviving Aids widows and widowers in the area.
Guernsey Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) provides support and care to anyone affected by the death of a baby during pregnancy, at birth, or shortly afterwards in Guernsey.
Every parent needs a bit of help sometimes and Home-Start in Guernsey is a charity that offers confidential support, friendship and advice during those early years when children are young.
Home-Start is a great charity to have in Guernsey. The wonderful volunteers visit families in their own homes to offer support, friendship and practical assistance. I wish it had been around when I had my new born twins to cope with.
Hope for a Child is a UK based charitable organisation, with offices in Guernsey and Africa - supporting children, families and communities devastated by HIV and AIDS in Africa.
I was asked to take part in a Charity Challenge expedition within the Jungle of north west Thailand to raise money for Hope for a Child. After finding out exactly what they do I was more than happy to start raising money for this cause, and to experience the harsh but stunning Jungle life for 6 days. I was impressed with what Hope for a Child do and how they do it. Instead of just throwing money at people or purchasing items and then walking away, they actually help them create businesses so that they can support themselves and their children, providing a much more sustainable future in my opinion. The money we raised alone has changed the lives of 6000 children in Uganda, which has motivated myself to book on to another challenge later in the year for this cause.
