Help Impact Trustee Julia Kozlova recently visited John Radcliffe Hospital and was deeply moved by the profound impact Rosie’s Rainbow Fund is making through their music therapy program. During her visit, Julia witnessed how the therapy brings joy and comfort to children of all ages, including a 13-year-old boy recovering from spine surgery. The music therapy sessions not only lift the children’s spirits but also provide them with a vital sense of independence and confidence in a challenging hospital environment. Help Impact is thrilled to approve a second grant to Rosie’s Rainbow Fund to continue their wonderful work.

Help impact is happy to award a grant to the UK-based charity St Gregory’s Foundation on a project to support disabled children in Calarashi, an hour from the capital of Moldova. St Gregory’s Foundation works with Dorintsa, the centre for disabled and autistic children and young people in Calarashi. The children will have access to physical, cognitive and speech therapy session and so will benefit from social integration and greater independence. Please read more about this project.

We would like to let you know that Help Impact started a new project – Music Therapy for Sick Children. Help Impact supported the work of Rosie’s Rainbow Fund, a UK charity which organises music therapy sessions for sick children at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, UK. The music therapy sessions involve live, interactive music-making with children. This project’s aim is to facilitate expression of feelings, reduce distress and promote well-being. Please support it!

We are happy to let you know that Help Impact provided funds to the UK-based charity St Gregory’s Foundation on a project to run a club for children with impaired hearing and their families. St Gregory’s Foundation works with the Early Intervention Institute that runs the only place in St Petersburg where parents can find support for children from the age of four months until three years old.

This project will start in January 2021. Please read more about it here.

Help Impact awarded a grant to the UK-based charity St Gregory’s Foundation on a project to prepare orphanage-leavers practically and emotionally for their new independent life. St Gregory’s Foundation works with Sunflower Centre in St Petersburg which performs this programme. The project is implemented by psychologists with the help of volunteers who also grew up in orphanages. It is scheduled to run from September 2020 until May 2021.

We are excited to let you know that Help Impact started its new project! We awarded a grant to the UK-based charity St Gregory’s foundation to help children with disabilities to start communicating better with the world around them and to more clearly express their needs. This project is running from this September. Please read more about it here.

We awarded a grant to the Russian Charitable Organisation for Aid to Children and Youth “Ulica Mira” for its project to deliver psychological help to young women and children who have experienced intimate partner violence. This work is essential to help the victims to deal with abuse, restore their mental health and reduce the risk of future abuse. Children learn how to deal with trauma and get back to normal life. The project is running from September 2019 and it will continue into early 2020.

Help Impact co-funded this project with a UK charity The BEARR Trust. BEARR concentrates on health and social welfare issues, especially the care of vulnerable groups. We are very excited to partner with BEARR on our first joint funding of a project with another charity.

We are very excited to let you know that we started our new project with Charitable Organisation “Volunteers Help Orphans” ! We are supporting children without parental guardianship admitted to hospitals in the cities of Bratsk and Balashikha, Russia. Help Impact provided funds to pay for nannies who supervise little patients left without parental guardianship from September 2019. Please read more about this project.

We are very happy to inform you that Help Impact continued its project with Charitable Organisation “Volunteers Help Orphans” in Russia and provided one more grant to them. As before, the funds will pay for rehabilitation courses of adopted children with disabilities. These rehabilitation courses will contribute to the improvement of the children’s self-support skills so that children can cover their basic needs including feeding, dressing and doing personal hygiene without external help. Other children will start learning to walk between classrooms in school, to use staircases where there is no access ramps, and to use public transport without support of their parents.

During the first stage of the project which ran from December 2018 until May 2019, Help Impact funded 148 rehabilitation sessions for seven adopted children with disabilities. We look forward to continuing our work with Volunteers Help Orphans and of course will keep you updated.
