ASC/PL002	FILMAID INTERNATIONAL UK Communities in crisis need knowledge and empowerment. FilmAid provides both, to millions of people suffering the effects of war, poverty, displacement or disaster. Film screenings provide a way to reach many people at once, overcoming literacy boundaries, bringing forth information where it is needed and inspiring hope where it is lacking. Since 1999, FilmAid has worked in partnership with other global aid organizations to bring critical information to more than a million people, in places as diverse as Macedonia, Kenya, Tanzania, Afghanistan and the US Gulf Coast. FilmAid engages communities to shape the messages most needed for their survival and strength. The charity works with communities to create films and videos in their own voice, and to show these films in the most impactful and appropriate settings. FilmAid screenings range from intimate discussion of forty people to large outdoor screenings, reaching tens of thousands at one time. FilmAid UK is looking for sponsorship for fundraising events and more. Contact: Vicky Suzman. Address: 11 Thurloe Square, London SW7 2TA. Tel.: 0207 581 6546.

ASC/PL006	RIGUL TRUST Rigul Trust is a UK based charity set up to help people living in impoverished areas - in particular in Rigul, a remote village in the Kham district of eastern Tibet. So far a primary school and health clinic have been established. People in this area are commonly nomadic and of very limited means. There is very little infrastructure provided, no surfaced roads, and the climate can be very harsh. At present the school is open seven days a week and sixty-five children attend. Two hot meals are provided every day (which has made the school even more popular!). Some children walk an hour each day to the school. There are three teachers. A health clinic has also been established nearby with a doctor, assistant and nurse. As many as forty-five people attend every day and people are coming from further and further afield. 100% of all donations received go to further activities in the field. "We would very much appreciate your support". Contact: Margaret Richardson. Tel.: 023 8046 2926. link to website      Click button to download more information from Rigul Trust (pdf format)	Ongoing

ASC/003	SCOTTISH FREE BIKERS Scottish Free Bikers is a group of motorcyclists trying to raise money for Yorkhill Children's Foundation in Glasgow, as well as raising money to get children in Vietnam out of slums and into schools. "All the expenses of the group come out of our own pockets. Every penny given to us as a donation is therefore given directly to the children - making us one of the only 100% donation fundraising groups I know of. We have been running events and collections and have many more planned, although we do need help to afford to keep doing these so that we can maximise our help to the children. Any money we get from a sponsor will mean we can pay for more venues for more fundraising events - any help would be great as we are currently using our own personal funds to pay for them. We have secured some major players in television, radio and newspapers, as well as a celebrity, to back us. All the events we run are advertised in these media. The website is currently being updated and upgraded by one of these companies". Contact: Alun Brydon. Address: 125 Westland Drive, Glasgow G14 9PF. Tel.: 07812 602938.
