our story

2. A Sunflower Women’s Centre offering wrap-around therapeutic support in the community.
3. Daffodil Family Centre, a residential family centre.
Trevi is the lead partner for the Southwest Women’s Spark Project which aims to prevent women with multiple disadvantages, being affected by violence and abuse; ultimately achieving a better-quality of life.
We also run the Pause Plymouth practice, supporting hard-to-reach women who have had two or more children removed – cited as the most successful Pause practice in the country.
Our Vision
To find a cure for all types of brain tumours
Our Mission
To increase the UK investment in brain tumour research
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this!
We are the only national charity in the UK focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours through campaigning to increase the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK.
In 2024, Argyle Community Trust are hoping to launch an innovative Cancer rehabilitation and exercise programme for men and women living with Cancer, set to launch from Brickfields Community Hub toward the end of the year. We're looking for local fundraisers to help us make this happen!
Argyle Community Trust is the leading sport-for-change charity in Devon and Cornwall. We are the official charity of Plymouth Argyle Football Club and utilise the prestige of football, the reach of the club and the power of the badge to inspire, engage and help people of all ages, genders, race, and socio-economic status. Our work focuses, primarily, on removing barriers to participation and offering opportunities that are accessible to all. We maintain a particular focus on disadvantaged and isolated communities, underrepresented groups and at-risk children, young people and adults and we use the power of the brand as a starting point for engagement with these communities.
This innovative new Cancer Rehabilitation project will enable us to use physical activity to help patients during their recovery in a physical, social, and emotional context. The programme will provide participants with the benefits of physical exercise, whilst also creating a consistent social environment where members can share stories and increase their confidence and self-esteem during a difficult period in their lives. Participants will be welcomed on to our project at any time throughout their cancer journey; from diagnosis, during treatment or recovery and through to remission, meaning they can benefit from the programme before, throughout and after treatment. The project is set up to help people make positive connections at a time where they are feeling lonely/scared.

As the leading kidney research charity in the UK, nothing is going to stop us in our urgent mission to end kidney disease. We’re here to be heard, to make a difference, to change the future. This is a disease that ruins and destroys lives. It must be stopped.

Kidney disease affects three million people in the UK, treatments can be gruelling and currently there is no cure. Only research will end this and nobody can do it but us, by offering kidney patients and their families hope for the future. We’re taking it on. But we can’t do it without you.

Dartmoor Zoo is a 33 acre wildlife park located on the fringes of Dartmoor in Devon and it is home to hundreds of animals – some of which are sadly classed as vulnerable to extinction. The Zoo was established in 2007 when Benjamin Mee and his family bought the ailing zoo, since then Ben, his family and a dedicated zoo team have built it into the popular visitor attraction it is today. Ben wrote a book about his experience and in 2011 it was made into the Hollywood film ‘ We Bought a Zoo’ starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson.
In 2014 the Zoo became a Charity ( Dartmoor Zoological Society) of which Ben is the Chief Executive Officer.
Today the Zoo is heavily involved in research, conservation and education projects to promote the welfare of animals and to enrich both the lives of humans and animals. At the heart of all Dartmoor Zoo’s activities is conservation. By improving conservation through research and education, the Zoo is finding ways to help protect vulnerable species by investigating ways to protect the environment and by identifying opportunities where humans and nature can interact to create better health and wellbeing.
As well as developing international conservation and research programmes, Dartmoor Zoo provides education, discovery and learning opportunities for thousands of school children, young people, community and disadvantaged groups every year.
Dartmoor Zoo’s work helps protects endangered species and enriches people’s lives by encouraging engagement with nature and by providing training and educational opportunities.
