We are changing the housing market with our Eco-homes. We offer an affordable alternative to conventional home-owning. The UK's construction industry produces approximately 100,000,000 tonnes of waste each year. We have to change that. We need to show that the new technology works. Our Eco Homes are made from renovated shipping containers which are easy to build, up-cycled & cheap but to the highest quality, using solar power energy, recycled eco-friendly insulation & virtually zero fuel bills.
Providing Primary Schools with inclusive and representative books that reflect the diversity of our population. Helping more children to see themselves in the books they read, helping all children to better understand the world and their place in it. When a child falls in in love with reading they are more likely to succeed academically, more likely to fulfil their potential and achieve their dreams. We want to give every child the chance to discover a love for books.
Recycle to Read brings together cross-sector stakeholders to develop a new, sustainable infrastructure for recycling toys, unlocking considerable social, economic, and environmental benefits for the UK.

We collect DNA and cell samples of endangered native species. These samples can be used to research wildlife disease, reintroduce genetic diversity and measure genetic diversity changes over time. These activities all aid the conservation of native wildlife. No animals will be harmed. For example, we want six trained volunteers to travel to the Cairngorms to collect DNA and cell samples of native endangered animals. We are seeking money to pay for travel and subsistence costs.
We will run 15 community hedgerow planting events (5 in year 1, 10 in year 2) at farms around the UK. We will work with farms close to urban areas to give both urban and rural communities access to green space and nature while building links between communities. The hedges planted will result in greater carbon drawdown to help tackle the climate crisis, increased habitats for nature and benefits for the local area such as protection from flooding.
Working Families provides free legal advice to mostly low-income and otherwise disadvantaged parents and carers to support them to balance their work and family responsibilities.

We also have over 200 online information and guidance articles on parental employment rights.

We have started this project from our own fundraising. The first Safe building is erected and it's interior is being worked on now. We would like to build 2 more.

Building a library in Kenya is never easy, but as for everyone the pandemic makes everything much harder. Yet we managed to build 2 libraries in 2020. Our next partner community is located in Msambweni, Kwale County Kenya. Over 1,000 community children are waiting for their adventure in books to begin and we are determined to make that happen. The transformation of the entire community happens almost immediately. We are £5,000 short of our £15,000 target and really need your help.
Imagine not having access to education, healthcare or any basic services just because you don't have a birth certificate. A seemingly avoidable problem but unfortunately it is an issue that is rife in Zimbabwe, particularly amongst the rural communities and orphans. The results are that children cannot study further due to lack of education, preventing them from gaining employment and breaking the cycle of poverty. We work to break this cycle by providing identification to these children.
