The Windmill Trust

LMK (Let Me Know)
Relationship abuse is an urgent problem impacting millions of people in the UK every year.
Its prevalence continues to be on the rise. And young people barely out of full time education, between the ages of 16 to 19, are the most at risk of experiencing it; an early experience that can impact nearly every aspect of the rest of their lives.

Meningitis Now
At Meningitis Now, 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.
Fighting meningitis has been our driving force for over 35 years; but our work is far from over. 22 people every day are still affected by this terrible and devastating disease. They will continue to need our aftercare and support, both now and in the future; and until meningitis is eliminated from the UK, it's vital that we continue to raise awareness and fight back against the disease.

Cerebral Palsy Plus is delighted to receive a generous donation of £8000 from The Pixel Fund. This will help us to provide a range of activities for children and young people with Cerebral Palsy in Bristol and surrounding areas. The activities will help to improve the wellbeing of children who are living with a complex disability, helping them to have fun and experience new things in a safe and supported environment.
