The Richard Whiteley Theatre at Giggleswick School
Performance is part of everyday life at Giggleswick. Productions are staged throughout the year, from the annual house “singing and speaking” competition to ambitious musicals such as Les Misérables and We Will Rock You. The current lack of purpose-built facilities is restraining growth in drama and does not adequately provide for the increasing quality and sophistication of our productions.
This proposal outlines the creation of a 300 seat auditorium alongside new teaching space for arts and humanities. It represents the exciting first phase of a development programme which will enable the School to build on its reputation for academic excellence, innovative teaching and supportive pastoral care.

Escape to Safety
Escape to safety is an interactive multimedia installation, built into a 12.5m box-trailer, that enables you to experience something of what it is like to be a refugee seeking asylum in Britain. It is designed for young people and adults from the age of 10 upwards. It provides the opportunity to think about issues such as:
* What is the welcome we want to give to refugees?
* What is your image of asylum seekers in Britain?
* Where does this image come from?

Transmission: creating the UK's only nationally-accessible HIV support service for teenagers.
Body & Soul is in the process of developing a UK first: the only nationally-accessible HIV service for teenagers living with or closely-affected by HIV.
Critically, this online service will be developed by HIV+ / closely-affected UK teenagers for their peers. It will, for the first time, provide them with easy access to age-appropriate HIV information and peer-to-peer support, to increase knowledge and reduce the crippling isolation that many feel.

Photocamp 2008 in partnership with National Geographic
The goal is to use the medium of photography to give children in South Lebanon skills and mastery in a creative activity that allows them to explore and communicate the issues of concern in their lives and to contribute to the process of healing.
Photocamp encourages the use of documentary photography enabling children that have traditionally been the subject of such work to become its creator - to have control over how they are perceived by the rest of the world, while simultaneously learning a new skill which can enhance their lives. Teaching children to use cameras and take photos creatively is a therapeutic experience and will provide them with the opportunity to have their voices heard, a basic right that many of them have been denied.

Emergency Campaign for Burma
PoC offers humanitarian grants to Burmese prisoners of conscience. Even before this latest crackdown, we had a list of over 1,200 prisoners who were being detained for their beliefs. Grants are given to individuals in Burma to help them and their families purchase food and other basic necessities, such as travel and medical costs. The average PoC grant for a Burmese prisoner of conscience is £300.

Protecting the health and rights of female sex workers in Pakistan
Pakistan is on the brink of an HIV/AIDS crisis. In the last five years the Sindh District, where our project is located, has become the epicentre of a rapidly growing AIDS epidemic which is largely being driven by the commercial sex industry.
We are working together with our local partners, PAVNHA and the Pakistan Society, to empower female sex workers to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS and other sexual and reproductive health problems through education, service provision and by raising awareness of their rights at the local, regional and national levels. It is vital that the needs of sex workers are addressed so as to prevent the growing epidemic spreading to the wider population.
We are urgently seeking funding of £100,000 to cover project activities between August 2008 – March 2011. Any contribution would make a significant difference to this project.
