Helplines and support
A kind voice on the phone can be a lifeline to those who are suicidal, lonely or frightened. Most of these helplines are entirely funded by donation and many work round the clock.

Social exclusion
These charities work to reduce the effects of being excluded from society - be it through disability, poverty, lack of education, unemployment or homelessness. They help people become full members of society again and give meaning to their lives.

Alcohol and drug dependency
Kicking a habit can be tough. But these people are there to help addicts who really can't cope on their own - providing vital support to help them break their habit, improve their quality of life and help them find jobs and security.
