Description of Paces Charity:

Paces is a specialist centre and Charity for children and adults with neurological conditions (mainly Cerebral Palsy), and motor disorders – Stroke, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis.

Paces delivers Conductive Education: a holistic package of support that aims to help individuals obtain the greatest level of independence through a range of supportive measures.

Paces aims to meet the physical and cognitive needs of individuals which are often not met holistically elsewhere.

Paces focuses on ability, not disability.

Paces was established in 1997; the charitable organisation was born out of the experiences of parenting children with physical disabilities and their related learning difficulties.

Trustees, Governors, staff and parents have overseen the growth of Paces as a Charity, with Paces School gaining Department of Education Non-Maintained Special School status in 2009.  Paces School was rated GOOD by Ofsted in 2019, with the school currently educating 37 children from ages 4-18.  The school provides a personalised curriculum based on the National Curriculum through the medium of Conductive Education. 

Paces has an Outreach Team that currently supports 28 families in the community.

Families come into Paces for bespoke 1-1 and group Conductive Education sessions. 

Paces also has an Adult Services Team; and in addition, Paces operates a sessional Conductive Education Programme for individuals with Parkinson’s, Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis.

About Lumos

Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by children’s author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’ mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.  Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families. 

Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention, and opportunities they need to thrive. We have made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care.  Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children.  We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.

Over the past 15 years Lumos has worked directly in different countries around the world to demonstrate that it is possible to change systems of care and fulfil children’s rights.  Building on our heritage and direct experience of systems reform, our new strategy focuses on sharing learning with others to reach more children and amplify the impacts of our work on children’s lives. 

During the past year, Lumos has carried out three major reviews:  a culture review; a governance review; and an organisational review. Action plans have been developed to implement the recommendations of these reviews, providing strong foundations for our strategy for 2021-23.  To support the implementation of the new strategy Lumos are seeking to recruit a Chief Executive Officer, a Global Director of Fundraising and Engagement and a Global Director of Systems Change.

There is a high level of commitment from trustees and staff to the change programme and to delivery of our bold new strategy and plans for the next phase of Lumos’ development. Our new strategy for 2021-2023 has three priorities:

Building Global Expertise: We will use our knowledge and experience to support those responsible for reforming care systems in their own countries. This will include providing technical support, evidence, and guidance to help design and run better care systems, as well as learning exchanges where they can share experiences and challenges.

Catalysing Change: We will use evidence to motivate and press governments to reform the way they care for children. This will involve leading targeted research and advocacy campaigns to identify and tackle the drivers of institutionalisation, promoting accountability by tracking and highlighting progress, and influencing international funding, programmes, and policy.

Demonstrating & Innovating: Building on our heritage of successful programmes showing how care systems can be reformed, we will use what we have learnt in the past to support partners with their own reform efforts. Over the next two years, as we complete our current country demonstration work in Eastern Europe, we’ll identify programmes in new regions – building expertise and evidence of what good care reform looks like in new and challenging contexts, particularly for those children that typically get left behind.

BACKGROUND 

The Helen Bamber Foundation (HBF) is a pioneering Human Rights charity supporting refugees and asylum seekers who are survivors of trafficking and torture. The people we work with have been subjected to atrocities including state-sponsored torture, human trafficking, religious and political persecution, forced labour, sexual exploitation, and gender-based and ‘honour-based’ violence. Recognising the complexity of each client’s suffering and needs, HBF offers specialist services within a Model of Integrated Care encompassing: therapy; medical advice; legal protection; counter-trafficking support; housing & welfare advice; and community and integration. 

HBF exists to ensure that all survivors of trafficking and torture are free and healthy (both physically and mentally), are safe, are protected from re-victimisation, detention and poverty, and have the ability and agency to integrate in and contribute to the communities around them. HBF also uses its unique expertise to drive change and improve practice and policy for all survivors. 

In 2020, HBF adopted a group structure: the HBF Group is dynamic, innovative and responsive to the changing and often urgent needs of our client population. Asylum Aid has been the first affiliate to join the HBF Group, delivering expert legal services to our client population, who are routinely denied access to high quality legal support. Asylum Aid are a thought leader in the sector and use their casework to seek strategic legal challenges and Judicial Review, and to seek policy changes within the UK asylum system.

We are innovative, ambitious and compassionate. The bravery and resilience of our clients is an inspiration to everyone in the Helen Bamber Foundation Group.
