Freedom from Torture is a UK-based charity that provides treatment and help for people who have been tortured and have fled to seek safety and sanctuary in the UK. Our services to help survivors of torture include: psychological therapy, activity-based therapy groups such as art therapy, creative writing and bread-making, specialist therapy for children, young people and families who have been affected by torture and pain management.

Strategic intervention to substantially increase access to mental health support for children and young people living with muscle-wasting conditions

Strategic intervention to substantially increase access to mental health support for children and young people living with muscle-wasting conditions

In recent years, The Pixel Fund has generously supported the work of Muscular Dystrophy UK. Most recently they granted £10,000 in total towards a four year research project, which advanced a promising potential genetic therapy for the childhood muscle-wasting condition: spinal muscular atrophy. We are delighted and extremely grateful to receive the support of The Pixel Fund once again…

Delivering improvements to My CAMHS Choices - Update

The generous grant awarded to the Centre from The Pixel Fund has enabled us to develop this website from an idea into a reality. The website – On My Mind – has an emphasis on reaching those who are thinking about looking for support, who may already be receiving or waiting to receive support or those who require help and information about self-managing their own wellbeing, perhaps because ‘traditional’ offers either do not appeal or have not previously worked.

The Pixel Fund has kindly donated £5,000 towards the ongoing support of suicidal people in London. This should enable us to deliver our programme of support for 20 suicidal individuals (who we call Visitors) – at a cost of approximately £247 per Visitor. Our service is unique in that it is free, confidential, face-to-face and continues for as long as the Visitor needs.

Wayfinding Service

Wayfinding Service

Dementia presents varied, complex and constantly evolving challenges to people living with dementia and their loved ones. Those affected need time, care, and to feel that they are not alone. They need ongoing, dementia-specific support, given freely – which is exactly what the Pixel Fund is very generously helping to provide through Dementia Support’s far-reaching Wayfinding service.

Project Update - The preclinical development and evaluation of a vaccine against pneumococcal meningitis and sepsis

The Pixel Fund has generously donated £10,000 over three years towards Meningitis Now’s research project being carried out at the University of Liverpool.

The project may sound complicated – ‘The preclinical development and evaluation of a vaccine against pneumococcal meningitis and sepsis’ – but essentially the team are seeking to create a more effective vaccine to protect against pneumococcal meningitis, a life-threatening form of bacterial meningitis.
