2009 Nominated Charities
Round Table Children's Wish
(Registered Charity Number: 1060225)

Founded in 1990 we have been granting the Wishes of Children aged between 3 and 17 suffering with life-threatening illnesses for nearly 20 years. The joy of having a Wish enables the Child and their family to step away from their daily routine and share a special time when the Child is well enough to enjoy the experience.
The types of Wishes that we grant can be varied and very interesting. We have children who would like to meet their television or sporting hero, others would like to have something which they can use and enjoy and some would like the opportunity to share a special holiday with their family.
All of these Wishes are only possible with the financial support of individuals and organisations that help us to raise the funds. This enables us to continue to grant these very special Wishes so the children can share an unforgettable experience with their family, creating happy memories that last long after the Wish has taken place.

Corfe Mullen Sports Association

Corfe Mullen Sports Association is a voluntary body who represent the various clubs which operate from the recreation ground in Corfe Mullen. The CMSA is a non-profit making organisation, which runs purely on the goodwill of volunteers. Any monies which are generated by the Association, in the form of pitch fees, charges or donations, are used to maintain and develop the facilities at the recreation ground, and to promote sport and leisure activities for the benefit of the whole community.
The CMSA has been in existence since the early 1980s and represents a variety of sports including: Tennis, Football and Cricket. Our many clubs provide sporting opportunities for young and old alike, and are always on the look out for new members keen to maintain or develop their skills. Our popular junior sports groups are supported by qualified coaches who are engendering a love of sport in our youngsters that will, hopefully, last a lifetime. The sports pavilion is also the home of the Toybox pre-school group.
We are delighted to be one of the beneficiaries of the 2009 Corfe Mullen Carnival and 5km run. This is fantastic news, not only for us but for the village as a whole, as the money that is raised on our behalf will enable us to continue to promote and improve the recreational facilities available at the recreation ground, for the benefit of the whole community.

Corfe Mullen Youth Centre

Corfe Mullen Youth & Community Centre is part of Dorset Youth & Community Service which provides educational activities. This supports the personal and social development of young people in the 12 to 19 year old age group.
We work around different themes and programmes such as the infamous Pantomime, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award where young people can attain a recognised award which can help to build up their portfolio of skills, and of course preparing the carnival float.
Other activities the centre offers are trips to theme parks, skate parks and county events such as five-a-side football tournaments and dance competitions. These extra events often occur during weekends and school holiday periods.
In the last year we have had over 4,000 young people attend the centre and as you can imagine this can cause a great deal of wear and tear on facilities and equipment. The money that is raised from this year’s carnival run will go towards improvements to the centre, purchasing extra resources and subsidising activities.

2008 Nominated Charities
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance (Registered Charity Number 1078685)

The Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has been busily fundraising to enable them to upgrade to the new generation aircraft. The new aircraft is a Eurocopter EC 135 which is larger and offers a quicker and smoother flight, ensuring that all our patients receive the best possible journey to hospital. It came into service in March 2007.
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance was lanuched March 2000. It responds mostly to emergency calls such as sporting and road traffic accidents due to the remote locations and the kind of injuries sustained. On average it receives 3 or 4 calls per day, it is deployed by the Ambulance service.
The helicopter flies at 140 mph and can land in an area half the size of a tennis court making it an ideal recourse for the Ambulance service to send to some of the areas needed.
The Aircraft costs in excess of £3500 per day to run, this money has to be raised largely from charitable donations from the counties of Dorset and Somerset and beyond. The Charity has a band of loyal volunteers spread across the two counties who work extremely hard at fundraising to ensure that this vital service continues.

Coping with Chaos (Registered Charity Number 1076937)

Founded in 1997 by two parents, Coping With CHAOS is a registered charity, that provides services to families with a child, or young person who has a disability or special educational need. We currently support over 170 families living in the East Dorset, Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and the Purbeck area.
On hand to help play with the children are the CHAOS Crew which enable parents to relax a little and feel more confident when taking their children out. The Play Opportunities give families with a disabled child the chance to enjoy a day out together. We include the whole family and welcome brother and sisters, grannies and granddads!
Other services we provide include counselling, parent and child befrienders, as well as weekly coffee mornings during term time for parents and carers. We are currently piloting a youth group and a new siblings group.

All our services are heavily subsidised and we ask families for a voluntary contribution of just £1 per session per child. In order for us to continue to provide our services we fundraise by applying for grants and rely on a small team made up of parents to support us with community fundraising.
By supporting Coping With CHAOS this year you will be helping local families with disabled children receive support and friendship, as well as looking forwards to and enjoying the school holidays.
Thank you very much.
