Creating Brighter Futures for Europe’s Children
MOVE Europe is a small charity attempting to provide the unique MOVE Programme to all of those severely disabled children throughout Europe who would benefit from it by learning the skills they need for sitting, standing, walking and transferring. The MOVE Programme combines both education and therapy to create a mobility programme, which uses goals set by the child and their families along with a team approach to increase independent mobility in the child’s normal environment.
The MOVE Programme is unique to each child or young adult who uses the Programme as they choose the targets they wish to work on themselves. This ensures that they make improvements in the areas that most impact on their lives, be it learning to lift their head for 30 seconds, which allows them to access the world around them with the opportunity to view their environment and to express choice by being able to look at the person or object they would like to interact with. Or a teenage girl choosing to learn the skills needed to take two steps backwards, may be able to use the toilet independently, allowing her both the privacy and dignity she deserves.
With your help we would like to provide MOVE to all who could benefit from it as soon as possible.

The Disconnected Mind
”My grandmother is determined to live in her own house. We visit every day but she often refuses to let us in. She used to be our rock but now she doesn’t recognize her own family.”
750,000 people are currently diagnosed with severe cognitive decline such as dementia or Alzheimer’s in the UK alone, and 18 million people suffer worldwide. This figure is projected to double in the next 25 years, causing massive hardship to sufferers and their families, and huge economic cost to society. Its impact cannot be understated; for the individual affected there is a loss of identity, a loss of connection with family, friends and their environment, and eventually a complete loss of independence.
The Disconnected Mind is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary research programme designed to uncover the causes of mental deterioration in later life, and therefore create a recipe for healthy cognitive ageing. It takes its name from the billions of connections in the brain – known as “white matter” - that are central to good cognitive function. While not everyone will experience cognitive decline, it does steadily increase with age, with 1 in 5 people aged over 85 living with dementia. There is great variation between people, and it is these differences that the researchers will use to discover the factors that lead to healthy mental ageing. Finding out how to prevent cognitive decline would make a profound difference to millions of people, in the UK and worldwide.

Transforming the Ashmolean
Our story is one of complete transformation – from a maze of cramped, old-fashioned displays to an inspiring space in which to learn, marvel and have fun.
In late 2009, Britain’s oldest museum will re-emerge as a place of learning for all, reaffirming its position as a major resource for the enjoyment and understanding of art and archaeology.
By transforming the Ashmolean we will:
· Bring the past to life for hundreds of thousands of people
· Unlock the fascinating stories that lie behind the objects
· Help visitors trace the journey of ideas and influences across continents, cultures and chronologies
· Create a more engaging, compelling and meaningful visitor experience by doing more than just displaying objects for people to look at
· Make the most of both the aesthetic and educational potential of our collections
