Welcome to our favourite time of the year, the much longed for DHPA Christmas Ball 2013! This may be your first Ball or it may be your eighth and last, but we promise you all an unforgettable evening.

This year we will be supporting three very incredible and special charities, two local London ones and one in South Africa:


2


GreenhouseGreenhouse puts inspirational coaches into schools and community clubs to work with 8 to 18 year-olds. They offer this service across 10 areas; football, basketball, table tennis, volleyball, judo, swimming, drama, tennis, athletics and multi sports for young people with special educational needs. Their programmes are open to everyone but the coaches also target young people most in need of support, such as those struggling with their education or behaviour. The coaches run full-time programmes, working with the young people before, during and after school, weekends and in the holidays. Greenhouse currently have coaches in 37 schools in London’s most deprived areas. www.greenhousecharity.org

Hope EducationHope Education began as an Anti-Retroviral Clinic back in 2004 in an Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Their main aim is to provide each child with a first class education, transport to and from school as well as nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day.

All of the children involved with Hope Education are either infected, affected or orphaned by HIV/AIDS. They all come from homes where the families live way below the poverty line. It costs Hope Education approximately £64 a month for each child’s education, transport and meals. The families pay 23% but a large number of families cannot even afford this. Hope Education cover the costs with income raised through fundraising activities.

Ealing Foodbank (Trussell Trust)Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. Trussell Trust foodbanks provide a minimum of three days emergency food and support to people experiencing crisis in the UK.

The Trussell Trust partners with churches and communities to open new foodbanks nationwide. With almost 400 foodbanks currently launched, their goal is for every town to have one. Ealing Foodbank went operational on 18th October. People will have to be referred and receive a voucher, so that only the right people get help. Without foodbank, people including children in our Ealing community will go hungry. [email protected]

Now it’s time to make your wallets a bit lighter!!
