Julia visits John Radcliffe Hospital

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.

Our new project – Music Therapy for Sick Children

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!

Help Impact continued its collaboration with Health & Help

We are very happy to let you know that we continued our collaboration with Health & Help and awarded them one more grant. Health & Help runs a non-profit clinic in the rural area of Guatemala where the access to medical aid is very limited. It is the only free of charge medical centre within a 3-4 hour walking distance.

Help Impact provided funds to buy medications for kids and young people under 25 years old. There are no overhead costs, and so all funds received from Help Impact are used to buy medications and medical supplies. Help Impact’s trustees and donors are very happy with the impact of this project where simple low cost treatments help to deal with malnutrition, parasitic deceases and infections, and so very significantly increase the quality of children and young people’s lives.

We welcome our new trustee

Help Impact is delighted to welcome our new trustee Yulia Kozlova to the charity’s board. Svetlana Savelyeva, the founder of Help Impact, says:  “Yulia has been a fantastic volunteer for our charity over the past few years and I’m thrilled that she’s taking on increased responsibilities by becoming a trustee. Her passion, expertise from her banking career and positive attitude will strengthen our ability to support more young people in need.”

Yulia says:“The global pandemic and becoming a mother for the second time reemphasized for me the challenges disadvantaged children and their parents are facing across the world. Now the work of Help Impact is needed more than ever. I am therefore immensely proud to be joining the charity’s board and I hope to be able to bring useful insight and energy to achieve Help Impact’s goals.”

Dress For Success webinar with Henry Wilfrid

Henry

We would like to thank Henry Wilfrid, Personal Stylist and Fashion expert, for taking the time to speak at Help Impact’s charity webinar on 28 February. We received very positive feedback from our attendees. “I loved the webinar today, a lot of food for thought. The main thing is that he inspired a more conscious approach to a wardrobe, and not sort of “go shopping and buy what you can find”” T.
“I also enjoyed the webinar, noted a list of brands, things for me to invest in. I also noted why it is not worth buying the mass market.” A.
“It was useful to hear about brands. Henry, of course, is already at a level when rules can be broken and the new ones created”. N.
We raised £330 which will of course go to support Help Impact’s projects. Thanks to our guests for attending this event and supporting our charity!
