2007/08 ~ The National Autistic Society
With so many deserving charities needing support, the NAS was nominated due to a personal connection to the organisers. We are pleased to have contributed to the Richmond Branch and wish them well in their efforts.

                       2006 ~ SPARKS
SPARKS funds pioneering
research that has a practical, positive impact on the lives of babies and children. In the UK, many important areas of paediatric research depend heavily on funding from charities like SPARKS rather than the public purse. It is this knowledge that motivates the dedicated SPARKS team.

         2005  ~ The Donald Woods Foundation
Named after journalist, writer and anti-apartheid activist Donald Woods, the Foundation is dedicated to health, education, heritage and community building in some of the poorest communities in South Africa. The initial focus on the Mbashe region, where both Donald Woods and Nelson Mandela were born, and the programme work includes HIV, Orphans and Vulnerable Children, access to health via outreach clinics, food gardens, schools programmes and self-sustainability.

             2004 ~ The Anthony Nolan Trust
The Trust works to offer patients in the UK and around the world a better chance of a successful bone marrow transplant. A gift of life. A transplant of bone marrow (or stem cells from the peripheral blood circulating the donor's body) can be used to offer hope to patients with leukaemia or other similar potentially fatal illnesses. Funds raised by the Trust support the managment of their bone marrow data-base and ongoing research into related diseases.

2003 ~ Well Being
WellBeing of Women is the only UK charity dedicated to solving the health issues which only affect women.  We fund the very best obstetric and gynaecological research projects the results of which have saved many lives and transformed others over the past 40 years.  We also provide funding to encourage good young doctors to develop their skills and knowledge of obstetrics and gynaecology. We want to improve the standards of women’s health now and for the future.
