Greensource - Greener Recycling Solutions Raising Funds for Charities




	Charities we support (new charity added in March 2010) We raise funds for our chosen charities via our recycling services. £2 is also donated to Children's Hospice South West from every printeco remanufactured toner cartridge we sell. Children’s Hospice South West provides the only hospice care for life-limited children and their families in the South West of England. In the South West alone there are more that 1,000 children with life-limiting illnesses. Caring for a life-limited child can be exhausting and lonely experience and can put immeasurable strain on the family. Our two hospices, Little Bridge House in North Devon and Charlton Farm in North Somerset are places where families go for respite and relaxation, friendship, expert palliative and end of life care; the support for the families start from their referral to our hospice and continues into bereavement. Children’s Hospice South West had now launched the Precious Lives Appeal to raise funds to build a third hospice in Cornwall, which will put the final piece in the jigsaw of world class palliative care we provide throughout the South West. Sadly the need for children’s hospice care will never disappear but with your help, we can be there for as long as the families need us.

Our world has the wealth and means for all to live comfortably and to end poverty. Yet despite this nearly half the world’s population live on less than £1.40 a day and over 11 million children will die from poverty-related illness this year. We believe that charity is not enough. The policies of governments and companies are keeping people poor by exploiting them to make bigger and bigger profits. Unless we challenge them, we are allowing this injustice to continue. We challenge the powerful by lobbying decision-makers to put an end to practises that harm the world’s poor. We work in solidarity with activists around the world to tackle the root causes of poverty, researching and promoting positive alternatives which put the rights of poor communities before the interests of big businesses. We are currently campaigning on two major issues. On climate change, we are lobbying the government to reduce UK carbon emissions by saying no to airport expansion and coal. On trade, we are campaigning to abolish unfair trade deals including those between the European Union and the global south. We have already achieved great successes on debt cancellation, genetic modification, the arms trade, workers’ rights, and access to water.

The charity is engaged in raising funds to provide assistance and relief and to support cases of need, hardship and distress for Nepali children and adults.

In these homes we care for 32 resident children, 2 disabled adults and we provide salaries for 7 carers. Our funding also helps to cover medical care and treatments required as well as education for all the children living in the homes. We also support one-off projects providing shelter for street children and aid for community projects throughout the Himalayan region.
