Roald Dahl’s Marvellous
Children’s Charity
Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity is a UK-based charity founded in 1991 (originally as the Roald Dahl Foundation) to support seriously ill children and their families. It works with the NHS to fund and establish specialist “Roald Dahl Nurse” roles across the country — nurses who provide expert clinical care, coordinate complex health needs, and offer emotional support to children with lifelong, complex conditions and their families. The charity also offers family support services like financial advice and emotional support, and aims to ensure every seriously ill child in the UK has access to this specialist nursing care.
Sport in Mind
Sport in Mind is the UK’s leading mental health sports charity dedicated to transforming lives through sport and physical activity. Founded in 2010 in Reading, Berkshire, the charity uses the power of sport to support people experiencing mental health challenges, helping them improve their wellbeing, physical health, confidence, and social connection. Their programmes are inclusive and free, welcoming people of all abilities and fitness levels — whether someone is new to sport or more experienced — and focus on fun, supportive activity rather than competitive performance.
CAFOD
CAFOD (the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) is a UK-based international development and humanitarian charity working to end poverty and promote justice around the world. It is the official overseas aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales and part of the global Caritas network. CAFOD partners with local experts in more than 40 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East to support communities in tackling poverty, responding to emergencies, and building long-term solutions to challenges such as conflict, climate change and inequality. They work with people of all faiths and none to provide practical help, raise awareness of global injustice, and advocate for policies that protect human dignity and promote the common good.
