The Ben Raemers Foundation aims to end the stigma and burden that so often clouds issues of mental health by bringing awareness of these issues and suicide to the forefront within the wider skateboarding community. The Ben Raemers Foundation aims to relieve the needs of people with mental health issues or those at risk of mental health issues, in particular but not exclusively those within the skateboarding community, in the UK by: (i) Providing educational resources to inform people about mental health issues (ii) Providing training schemes for volunteers, and the general public and service providing organisations, to raise awareness and increase the ability to assist those in need. (iii) Raising public awareness of mental health issues.

We firmly believe that projects executed by community-led NGOs have the most significant impact on improving livelihoods and ensuring sustainability. NGOs operating on the ground possess the profound understanding of the challenges faced by the community and the environment. They work diligently and adopt solution-oriented approaches to tackle these issues effectively. However, a notable challenge lies in the fact that many community-based NGOs struggle to access private online donations. This is primarily due to the lack of financial and personal resources, as well as limited awareness about this valuable fundraising option. Our mission is to accelerate community-led change by empowering non-profit organizations with fundraising and supporting them with content creation for their fundraising strategies. We also provide online volunteering for NGOs, so they can focus on their impact-driven projects on the ground. We want locally operating NGOs to grow and improve their impact.

We want all children and young people to experience good education and participation - regardless of their starting conditions. That's why we find people who change the world. We recruit them to lead students to success and to work for a just education system. To this end, they are qualified and supported in our leadership program and, as fellows, gain formative experience in schools in challenging environments. During their two-year assignment and beyond, they become part of a global movement for equitable education.

In collaboration with local youth welfare services, professional social workers, and established artists, Turning Tables is empowering marginalized youth through innovative music and film programs.

Mission Statement Inclusion Diversity is the key - Pfeffersport: an inclusive sports club Why are there sports activities in which wheelchair users are not allowed to participate? When will I, as a girl or a gay man, finally be allowed to play football with equal recognition? How often are athletes racially discriminated against? And is it okay that poor people cannot afford certain sports? As organisers of our pepper sports family, we have the vision to meet the different sport and exercise needs of our almost five thousand members. The theme of inclusion is like a bracket in this. Everyone is welcome here and everyone should be able to do sport. We experiment a lot with alternative sport and movement concepts, for example parkour, inclusive fencing or wheel soccer. We organise activities explicitly for girls and women, where no one has to be afraid of stupid comments or role models. In the meantime, some inclusive football teams are kicking and queer groups are finding their way to us. We simply have a bit of everything and are proud of it. For some years now, more and more people with disabilities have been coming to us and we offer many sports opportunities, especially for wheelchair users. In spring 2015, we also opened our sports facilities to people who have had to flee or have been displaced. And we have also created a flexible contribution scheme for people with limited financial means. For us, it doesn't matter whether you are old or young; that's what intergenerational groups like the inclusive dance theatre stand for. We also don't judge whether you believe in a god or in which god, because what we have in common is respectful and appreciative interaction. PARTICIPATION NOT EXCLUSION is our approach to social integration. For us, as an inclusive sports club, there is more than just ONE way. We want to try out many things and implement them together with you. In the children's and youth area, we try to open our sports groups to ALL - explicitly also for kids with disabilities. In these openly designed exercise programmes, heterogeneous groups are easy to realise. In terms of the sports club as a whole, homogeneous groups, such as girls' sports programmes or sports groups of the same age and interest, are also justified. Because overall, it makes the Pfeffersport family more colourful. For us, inclusion does not mean that everyone has to do sport with everyone else. For us, it is not about egalitarianism, but about choice. Our vision is a diverse club in which everyone can find themselves with their needs, regardless of social status or group membership. For us, inclusion is above all a question of attitude. Exclusion and discrimination are unacceptable to us. We find it `NORMAL` to respect each other. We may have different lifestyles, needs and abilities, but that is precisely where we draw our strength from. Our focus is not on maximum performance and standardised movements, but on having fun together and whoever wants to can also "let the devil hang out" sometimes. In implementing this vision, we are of course dependent on external conditions. In addition to an open attitude and a welcoming culture, this also includes accessibility in structures and inclusive practices. Qualified trainers, hall time and sports equipment are prerequisites for this work. Sports policy at the state and district level has provided some impetus in recent years. However, the support is far from sufficient. We are therefore involved in various bodies, such as the Disabled Sports Association Berlin and the District Sports Association, and in 2014 we founded a network for inclusion in recreational and mass sports together with other stakeholders in Berlin's sports landscape. Many committed people in sports clubs and institutions look to our association because they are interested in exchanging experiences and want to explore new paths together with us. We are convinced of the idea of inclusion and our commitment is often voluntary.

Der Berliner Fuball-Verband (BFV) wurde 1897 gegrundet und ist der Dachverband der Berliner Fuballvereine. Er koordiniert uber 3.500 Mannschaften mit mehr als 170.000 Mitgliedern in 382 Vereinen. Damit ist der Berliner Fuball-Verband der grote Sportfachverband in der Bundeshauptstadt. Rund 50 hauptamtliche und uber 200 ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiter sind fur die Aufgaben des BFV in der Geschaftsstelle/Sportschule verantwortlich. Zu den Aufgaben des BFV gehort die Organisation des Spielbetriebs, die Forderung von talentierten Spielern oder Schiedsrichtern, die Qualifizierung der Mitglieder und die Vermittlung von sozialen Komponenten des Sports, wie Pravention oder Integration. Die Aufgaben wurden als die vier Kernaufgaben des Berliner Fuball-Verbandes definiert: Spielbetrieb, Talentforderung, Qualifizierung, soziale Aufgaben Organisiert wird in allererster Linie der Spielbetrieb des Amateurfuballs in Berlin. Das sind allein an jedem Wochenende ungefahr 1.500 Spiele. Zusatzlich betreibt der BFV mit seinen Auswahlmannschaften intensiv eine leistungsorientierte Nachwuchsforderung und bildet Trainer/innen und Schiedsrichter/innen aus (Talentforderung). Daneben widmet sich der Verband vielen sozialen Aufgaben, so zum Beispiel im Bereich der Pravention ("Anti-Gewalt") und der Integration. Als vierte gleichberechtigte Kernaufgabe ist der Bereich der Qualifizierung definiert. Hierunter wird die Aus- und Weiterbildung der ehren- und hauptamtlichen Mitarbeiter sowie der vielen Vereinsmitglieder im BFV verstanden. Wie erreicht der BFV seine Ziele? Indem er von vielen, meist ehrenamtlich arbeitenden Helferinnen und Helfern unterstutzt wird. Staatliche Forderungen werden dem BFV auch zuteil. Auerdem arbeitet der BFV mit einigen Partnerorganisationen eng zusammen, so vor allem mit dem Deutschen Fuball-Bund (DFB), mit dem Nordostdeutschen Fuballverband (NOFV) und mit dem Landessportbund Berlin (LSB). Auch einige Unternehmen fordern den BFV. Ohne all diese Helfer/-innen und ohne all diese Forderungen wurde es viele sportliche Hohepunkte kaum geben konnen. Wo befindet sich der BFV in Berlin? Seine Geschaftsstelle hat der Verband in der Humboldtstrae im Bezirk Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (nahe Rathenauplatz). Die sportlichen Aufgaben, einschlielich der Trainer/-innen-Ausbildung, werden vornehmlich in der Sportschule Wannsee durchgefuhrt.

he World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is an international non-governmental organisation representing and promoting approximately 70 million deaf people's human rights worldwide. The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.
