| OSM/PL004 |  EPILEPSY FOOTPRINT Epilepsy Footprint is a non-profit organisation which aims to educate people everywhere about epilepsy. All its surplus funds are used in developing countries to improve people's access to support services and medical treatments for epilepsy. Too many people in these countries are dying from treatable seizures due to poverty, lack of access to medical services for epilepsy and general attitudes towards the condition. Ignorance towards epilepsy also means many people in the developing world are too scared to be diagnosed with the condition because it could potentially result in them losing their work, family or education. So by going out and speaking to people about epilepsy, Epilepsy Footprint's aim is to help people's understanding and attitudes towards the condition and remove the stigma which is holding so many people back from leading a normal life with epilepsy. The funding received from these presentations will be used in developing countries to • improve medical facilities and supplies • improve accessibility to medical and support services • provide education and skills training to people with epilepsy • improve the general understanding of epilepsy through school presentations. Epilepsy Footprint's Mission: the vision of Epilepsy Footprint is to keep improving people's understanding and handling of epilepsy in everyday life both in the UK and abroad. In many developing countries there is a negative attitude associating epilepsy with the devil and disease resulting in many people being disowned by their families, schools and employers. So going out and talking to people about the various aspects of epilepsy has been shown to bring people together rather than allowing them to remain isolated - and to improve people's confidence everywhere in handling seizures when witnessed. All this is achieved by providing training and information to those who wish to understand and learn more about epilepsy. This objective is achieved by giving various presentations regarding epilepsy in everyday life via • schools • businesses • community groups • hospitals • families • media • national and international conferences.

| OSM/PL006 |  MEDIC-AID UK TRUST A new Community Trust is developing a £5 million fund to purchase life saving drugs for NHS patients. Medic-Aid UK Trust is a not for profit social enterprise inspired by the plight of heart-wrenching stories of people denied life saving drugs. There are some drugs that are unavailable to a small but significant number of people who are trapped in a well documented NHS dilemma that government is currently reviewing. Within this number there are individuals who cannot afford to purchase these medications due to their financial status. It is this group of people that Medic-Aid UK aims to support. An initial fund of £5 million per annum will be created by seeking sponsorship from the pharmaceutical industry, business and commerce and private funding. David Southworth, the founder of Medic-Aid UK, comments: "We recognise the funding dilemmas facing local PCT's in pharmaceutical provision and offer to assist in the short term meeting of need until they are able to pick up the cost. Medic-Aid UK is not designed to provide an alternative funding stream to existing budgets. This is new money that will provide short term support for new drugs that cannot be funded by the PCT at the time of need". The organisers hope the fund will be operational by the spring of 2009.

| OSM/PL007 |  PAUL D'AURIA CANCER SUPPORT CENTRE The Paul D'Auria Cancer Support Centre (Registered Charity no. 1128295) has pioneered the use of complementary therapies since 1983 to support people affected by cancer. It aligns its approach closely with the Cancer Reform Strategy 2007 which recognised the need to provide psychological support to people with cancer and with the National Cancer Survivorship Initiative which has as its overarching goal "to ensure that the physical, psychological, social, spiritual, financial and information needs of cancer survivors are met". The Centre offers a range of services from one to one counselling and support groups to the innovative Healing Journey programme which brings together some of the most effective tools and strategies for helping people deal with the experience of cancer and improve their quality of life. Cancer can be a frightening and overwhelming experience. It can often lead to feelings of powerlessness - a belief that there is little one can do to feel more in control of one's life. The Healing Journey, which is based on a programme created by Professor Alastair Cunningham in Canada, helps people feel more in control and helps them lead happier, more meaningful and more fulfilled lives by learning coping and life skills. It is being developed as a nationwide programme for the UK. Full background information can be found at www.healingjourney.org.uk. "We are launching a UK version of Professor Cunningham's book The Healing Journey as part of our plans to widen access to the programme. We are also developing partnerships with other centres and providing them with ongoing support to deliver the programme. The book launch will be held on 7th July at a central London venue with an invited audience of one hundred, which will include leaders of cancer support organisations, as well as health professionals in the field of cancer care. We are offering the opportunity to sponsor this event and give partners the opportunity to get involved at the beginning of an innovative national health project. The opportunity will include branding all event materials and presentations, acknowledgement and publicity through our Healing Journey website and the main Paul D'Auria Cancer Support Centre website, inclusion in our e-newsletters which reach 575 subscribers, including health and other cancer care professionals, people with cancer and other supporters, as well as our newsletter, Annual Review and other supporter communications. There is also the possibility of developing an ongoing relationship with the Centre and the Healing Journey programme". Contact: Petra Griffiths.

| OSM/PL009 |  SKYSCHOOL AND ADVENTURE EXPEDITIONS Following the successful use of paramotors on a major scientific expedition by the Scientific Exploration Society in the Bolivian Amazonas during 2007, it is proposed to develop the concept of using paramotors and all terrain vehicles, working together on a series of scientific projects. A small team of experts have come together to plan the ventures and they consist of the following individuals: John Blashford Snell, Scientific Exploration Society; Alex Ledger, SkySchool Flight Centre; Alan Morton, Proactive TV. The first expedition is to Botswana and the aim is to research areas of scientific interest as well as support the local community. Proactive TV have agreed to film the expeditions with the aim of placing them on either Channel 4 or the Discovery Channel. The charity Just a Drop has also agreed to support the expedition. These expeditions are clearly advantageous for either a single main sponsor or a variety of different sponsors. "We therefore propose that interested parties should contact us to discuss the options available". Contact: Alex Ledger. Address: Rams Hill Farm, Manston, Sturminster Newton, Dorset DT10 1HD.

| OSM/PL010 |  SAWYERS HALL COLLEGE Sawyers Hall College, a mixed 11-18 comprehensive school of just over 600 students, serving Brentwood and surrounding areas, offers the opportunity to join them to raise standards in the school and also provide an exciting range of learning opportunities for all members of their local community. The most recent Ofsted report stated that the college has 'sound ability to move forward and raise its game even further'. The college plans to build upon its record of success to date by becoming a Specialist School in Sport with Science, to raise standards across the college. As part of the bid the college must raise £50,000 sponsorship, which will release from the DCFS an additional £0.5m over the next four years. They have already raised £40,000 and are seeking a further £10,000 to meet their target. Sponsor benefits would include • valuable PR in association with a college reaching greater heights • association with the provision of high quality education • opportunities for two way staff involvement in both institutions, and • direct involvement in shaping the future of Sawyers Hall College.
