Oxfam
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
To make poverty a thing of the past.
Oxfam is a global community of people who believe in a kinder, and radically better world, where everyone has the power to thrive not just survive. We believe we can overcome poverty by fighting the injustices and inequalities that fuel it.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
Inequality is rising everywhere, fuelling poverty. We believe in a fairer world. We know you do too. It's a lie that there's not enough to go around. And that it's a choice between 'us' and 'them'. Together, we can demand a fairer world for everyone.
A fairer world
To us, a fairer world means equal job opportunities, decent education, having enough money to get by, and more.
Women's rights are human rights and the potential for lasting change lies in the hands of millions of women currently living in poverty. That's why we put women's rights at the heart of everything we do.
We help people caught up in disasters and conflicts across the world, giving life-saving support to those most in need and helping people rebuild their communities.
Climate change is being felt most by people in countries that have done the least to cause the crisis.
A more equal world is possible. One where any of us at risk from the climate crisis have what we need to survive extreme weather and build sustainable futures for generations to come.

Penny Jones Animal Hospice
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
Penny Jones Animal Hospice was set up to care for abandoned and unloved animals. Many animals that come to the hospice have been found abused, neglected and unloved or their owners have passed away or just became too ill to care for them any longer. When space is available, we look after people's dogs while the owner is in hospital. We also rehabilitate and rehome dogs. The hospice relies on donations and sponsors to pay for medical care, food and shelter. We are a volunteer based charity and although we have plenty of volunteers to help with the animals, we struggle to find enough volunteers to keep the shop open as often as we would like.
The charity shop is in Carlisle and it sells the items donated to raise funds for the care of the animals.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
Dog rehabilitation and long term care of abandoned animals.
Temporary care of dogs while the owner is unable to care for them.
Two open days a year which allows people into the hospice to enjoy time with the animals and see the work we do.
Our charity shop offers great items at very competitive prices. We also hold online auctions.
We need volunteers to help in our shop.
