Winner of Britain's Missing Top Model, Kelly Knox, who rejects society’s notion that she is disabled, will help to raise funds and awareness of the Advance Centre for the Scotson Technique charity

London - Top model Kelly Knox, winner of Britain's Missing Top Model, will be a catwalk model in “Curvy in Couture”, the charity fashion show sponsored by Models of Diversity on Thursday 17 November 2011 at the Tabernacle, London. All proceeds from the show will go towards Models of Diversity’s sponsored charity, Advance Centre for the Scotson Technique, which helps children with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions.

The show will have three top celebrity presenters and at least two celebrity models and it will also be attended by special guest Caroline Rush, Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council. In addition, the Dish Network, one of the largest cable providers in north America with over 15 million subscribers, will be making a documentary about the show which celebrates disabled models, those of a healthy weight (as opposed to size zero), curvy models and those of all races and ages.

Kelly is the stunning winner of The BBC’s groundbreaking 2008 show ‘Britain’s Missing Top Model’, which led to a shoot with Rankin for Marie Claire. She has starred in a VO5 campaign, appeared on the cover of Diva Magazine, featured as a catwalk Gokette on Gok Wan’s ‘How to look Good Naked’, and has walked in many fashion shows across the UK. In addition, Kelly has appeared in Laha Magazine, The Sun, The Mail, Disability Now, Able Magazine, RADAR, and The Sunday Times. After taking a brief break from modelling, Kelly is back and better than ever!

Kelly says, “I have always rejected society’s notion that I am disabled – even at the tender age of seven I refused to wear a prosthetic arm. I entered the BBC competition in the hope of dismissing society’s preconceptions about what it means to be disabled, and hoped to pave the way for others in the same situation to break out of the constraints traditionally created by the label ‘disability’ and offer inspiration to those who need to develop confidence in the face of negative attitudes towards disability.”

About the Advance Centre for the Scotson Technique



Advance Centre is a teaching institute for parents with brain-damaged children. From its creation in 1996, the charity has dedicated itself to finding a way to not only advance the abilities of children with cerebral palsy and other brain injuries, but to actually reverse the associated structural and functional abnormalities. Linda Scotson is the charity’s founder and pioneer of The Scotson Technique. http://www.advancecentres.com

SafePoint Tanzania Awareness Campaign Gets Underway

.
The SafePoint supporters reach Uhuru Peak, Tanzania

All-mother group successfully conquers Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness of the dangers of syringe re-use in Tanzania

East Sussex, United Kingdom - The four intrepid supporters of the SafePoint Trust – Anna Koska, Nicoletta Iacobacci, Clare Beale and Catherine English – have recently triumphed in their mission to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. And not only have they completed this gruelling challenge in an impressive time, they are also celebrating being the first all-mother group to climb the feared Western Beach route. Congratulations ladies!

But now the hard work really begins. The SafePoint team has begun rolling out a hard-hitting campaign across Tanzania to raise awareness of the dangers of syringe re-use. Using one syringe to treat many patients is one of the single biggest causes of death in the developing world, and causes millions of infections each year in Africa and the rest of the developing world.

On their descent, the ladies travelled to Dar es Salaam where they called a press conference, attended by 25 major Tanzanian TV and radio channels. They informed their captivated audience why they took on the challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and their decision to raise money to donate single use (AD) syringes to Tanzania. Their climb has raised funds to contribute to their supplies in compliance with the ECSA resolution*.

Famous celebrity and comedian, Masanja, assisted the ladies in the press conference by demonstrating the three-point SafePoint message, taken from the WHO injection safety guidelines as per the diagram below.

New Packet, Used Once, Safely Disposed

Masanja validated the importance of safe injections and said, “I decided to help SafePoint make a public awareness film as I am a proud Tanzanian, and know that in the village where I come from, many people are unaware of unsafe injection practices.

“I hope that this film encourages healthcare workers to use a new syringe each time they give an injection, and that it informs our parents and children on the risks they take if they don’t demand one. To all fans of the Orijino Komedi Show, make sure you never have an unsafe injection again and spread the message for me.”

Yet, despite clear evidence pointing to significant numbers of deaths caused by a lack of injection safety procedures in many hospitals and medical centres in Tanzania, talks to date with Health Ministers in the country have remained unsuccessful. Marc Koska OBE, founder of the SafePoint Trust, originally met with the Hon Prof David Mwakyusa back in March 2010. At this meeting, the Hon Minister gladly accepted the donation of the film from SafePoint, and agreed to create a campaign to air it. But since this meeting, Marc has been met with closed doors and unable to progress with discussions further. For the SafePoint team, it is extremely frustrating, as they are only too aware from their experiences in other countries that public awareness is paramount to the changeover to single-use syringes.

Elections have taken precedence within the Tanzanian Health Authority, with little or no reference given to the unacceptable ‘unsafe injection’ culture. Also this week, Mr Deo Mtasiwa, Chief Medical Officer of Tanzania, stated his belief that no diseases have been spread through injection re-use.

While SafePoint appreciates the positive actions that have taken place in Tanzania to address the problem, such as the training of thousands of nurses, his claim is one that SafePoint rejects. Their view is backed by the announcement at the Annual meeting of The Safe Injection Global Network (SIGN) that a staggering 14% of all HIV infections are a direct result of unsafe injections.

Injection safety needs to move up the agenda, fast. Medical staff urgently need the resources to save lives; not to take them. Cost isn’t the issue - the cost of an AD syringe is 100 Shillings in Tanzania; the cost of a popular soft drink is 500 Shillings. “Mara moja katika maisha, mara nguni ni kifo.” A syringe used once is life. Used twice is death.

Press release submitted by: WorldWidePR.net

*Note: The ECSA (East Central Southern African Regions) resolution, passed and proposed by SafePoint in 2007, was signed by all 10 ECSA regions. Countries were to scale up their injection safety programmes by November 2009. SafePoint has already made and donated a public information film, with the support of SafePoint Ambassador, Masanja.

Background Notes to Editors:

Safepoint is a charity set up with a purpose to educate the next generation in safe healthcare.

This is done by delivering hard-hitting public awareness campaigns. We've done this to huge effect in India in 2008, resulting (April 2009) in the Health Minister mandating the use of Auto Disable (AD) syringes throughout all government-run hospitals. To date, Marc Koska, Founder of SafePoint, has been credited with saving well over 9 million lives.

Why Tanzania?

Tanzania is at the forefront of safe healthcare in Africa and will soon be the second country to convert over to Auto Disable (AD) syringes in the ECSA Region. With their policy already in place, trained healthcare workers and a public information film donated by SafePoint featuring Tanzanian celebrity and SafePoint supporter Masanja, they are ready to reduce the country's medical costs and ease the HIV/Hepatitis disease burden.

We climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to kick off Phase One of this new campaign – the raising of public awareness of the dangers of syringe re-use in Tanzania through all forms of media. We'll be visiting schools, orphanages and hospitals to talk with children, teachers and healthcare workers alike, getting the simple message of ‘one injection - one syringe’ across and donating syringes to kick start their participation in the campaign.

Facts and figures on unsafe healthcare

• Each and every year, due to unsafe injections, there are:

• 230,000 HIV Infections
• 1,000,000 Hepatitis C Infections
• 21,000,000 Hepatitis B Infections
• Resulting in 1,300,000 deaths each year
  

(Source: WHO World Health Organisation)

• Some 17 billion medical injections are given each year, and 7 billion of these are unsafe
(Source: Hutin 2003)

• Malaria kills 1,000,000 - so this silent epidemic – unsafe injections - kills even more people each year
(Source: WHO World Health Organisation)

• In Africa, 20 million medical injections, contaminated with blood from a patient with HIV, are administered every year
(Source: Reid 2009)

• At least 50% of all injections given, world wide, are unsafe
(Source: WHO World Health Organisation)

• A syringe is used on average 4 times in the developing world

• Every 24 seconds, a child dies as a result of an unsafe injection

Marketing and Advertising Agency for Charities and Not-For-Profits, The Help Agency, Launches in London.

New Charity and Not-For-Profit marketing and advertising agency to share profits as donations.

London - The Help Agency announces its launch today with a strong line up of communication experts, dedicated to helping the UK’s Charity and Not-For-Profit sectors with communication, branding and fundraising campaigns and a brand new idea of profit sharing with clients.

The company has launched with new premises, a new team and a professed new way of doing business.

The team is essentially looking to create top-drawer marketing and fundraising solutions in partnership with non-profits and charities with a moral imperative to generate maximum efficiencies in execution.

The Help Agency: Hugh Dennis, Dean Hodgetts, Andy Wakefield
image: marketingweek.co.uk

This is a company dedicated to helping those that exist to help others. That means charities and not-for-profits only.

“The effectiveness of our work will come from helping to develop Charity and NFP brands from a more positive perspective – ensuring people become more engaged rather than turn away. Our dedicated, 100% focus on this sector will mean our values and drive for results will be completely in alignment with Charities and NFPs.” comments Andy Wakefield the Creative Director of The Help Agency.

The company will be producing fundraising campaigns, Internet solutions, branding, advertising, direct marketing and new product and service development. These campaigns will have at their heart a desire for improved return on budget investment.

Apart from only targeting and working in this sector, there is one key difference that is a real innovation which the agency believes will generate the feeling of partnership rather than mutual respect: sharing in success.

Profit sharing
The Help Agency will also keep their books transparent to clients. Not only that, they will be sharing profits with clients at the end of their financial year. 50% of profit generated will be given away as charitable donations in a way that maximises the tax efficiency on those donations.

“The drive to generate a return ensures we can grow but it also gives us an ongoing motivation to be pushing for efficiency at every opportunity, on every project. In this sector perhaps more than any, efficiency is absolutely vital. Our openness and profit sharing gives clients permission to trust our motivations and to see benefits coming back to them as a result of the success generated between us,” added Dean Hodgetts, Managing Director.

Hugh Dennis – the TV actor and comedian – is a founding director and will initially be playing a non-executive role in the agency. He commented, “It’s great that we can focus our effort on helping people who have decided to help others.”

The Help Agency is currently in the process of setting up meetings with charities and non-profits to discuss projects.

The Help Agency: Key facts at a glance

• A complete communications team dedicated to the help sector
• An attitude of looking beyond the usual communication routes

Many of the new team at the Help agency have produced campaigns for the care and non-profit sectors.

Directors
Andy Wakefield (Creative): Andy has worked in big, medium and small agencies for over 20 years where he has risen from Art Director to Creative Director.

A natural communication polymath, his natural curiosity has given him the insight and expertise to help clients unlock consumer response from both off and online communication programmes.
This helping of care-based clients particularly inspired him to take a leap forward in his convictions to help those that help others.

Hugh Dennis (Non-executive): Although now best known as an actor (Outnumbered) and a comedian (Mock the Week, The Now Show) Hugh began his career as a Unilever Marketer, running multi-million pound brands such as Mentadent, and Lynx Deodorant.

Marketing and Advertising Agency for Charities and Not-For-Profits, The Help Agency, Launches in London.

Stephen Webster's Mosquito Rings Sell Out in Record Time on ASOS.com

.

100% of the profits from the rings will be used to support the charity Malaria No More UK

London - Stephen Webster’s limited edition mosquito rings are officially this winter’s hottest accessory after selling out on ASOS in under three hours – a new record for the online fashion store. The rings, as seen on the fingers of Victoria Beckham and Erin O'Connor, are now expected to become lasting collectors’ pieces.

Webster, famed for his originality and cutting-edge designs, was originally commissioned by Malaria Awareness Campaign to create a piece of jewellery to highlight the serious issue of malaria among UK travellers and to raise funds for Malaria No More UK. Webster responded to the brief with characteristic flair and glam-rock creativity with a one-of-a-kind fine jewel mosquito ring on sale now for ca. £15K and 660 limited edition replicas, which sold out exclusively on ASOS, at £50 each.

Stephen Webster’s fine jewellery piece, £15k

100% of the profits from the rings will be used to support Malaria No More UK’s first investment in Africa. The project is in Botswana, southern central Africa, where the national government has set an aggressive target to fully eliminate malaria by 2015. Malaria No More UK is supporting this effort and thanks to ASOS customers who purchased a replica ring, life-saving nets will be given out to households who do not yet have one. The nets cost just £5 and protect a mother and her child for up to five years.

Stephen Webster said: “The mosquito ring is both a statement and provocative piece. Yet the message behind the ring has touched everyone who has bought it, of which there are now 660. We are delighted for Malaria No More UK. We made a commitment to fight malaria and we are doing so, one ring at a time.”

Webster’s fine jewellery ring will be sold to the highest private bidder with anticipated retail price of £15K and all proceeds going to Malaria No More UK. The striking piece is fashioned in rhodium plated 18ct white gold, set with ruby cabochons, white diamond pave wings, a silver diamond tail and a black diamond band.

To place a bid for the original fine jewel ring, contact Roz Hunt via info@malarianomore.org.uk. The fine jewel ring is also available for photography. Contact carly@stephenwebster.com to organise.

Victoria Beckham said: “It’s a fabulous statement piece and I’ve loved wearing it. It’s inspiring to see designers like Stephen working the power of fashion to save lives. Malaria is such an important issue, killing more children under five in Africa than any other single disease. I’m crossing my fingers this collaboration will generate loads of buzz and funds for Malaria No More UK.”

Sarah Kline, Executive Director of Malaria No More UK says: “We have been overwhelmed by the response to our first collaboration which will help save thousands of lives in Africa. I hope this project will also act as an important reminder to UK travellers to check whether they need to protect themselves against malaria as they head off for winter holidays.”

Malaria is one of the world’s most serious, preventable health crises and threatens half the world’s population with pregnant women and children the most vulnerable. In the UK, some 1,500 - 2,000 travellers return every year having contracted the disease. For more information about malaria and how you can protect yourself, please visit: www.malarianomore.org.uk and www.malariahotspots.co.uk. To find out if your next holiday destination is a malaria hotspot, text the destination to 07800 000 571.

1) Ensure every man, women and child at risk of malaria in Africa has access to a mosquito net by the end of 2010

2) Put an end to malaria deaths completely by 2015

A £5 donation to Malaria No More UK will purchase, transport and deliver a life-saving bed net to a mother and her child in Africa protecting them for up to five years. 100% funds received by Malaria No More UK are used for malaria prevention and control programmes in Africa.

Sunrise Senior Living to Launch Largest Ever Dementia Awareness Week Campaign

.
Sunrise Senior Living is making Dementia Awareness Week (5 - 11 July 2009 for England and Wales) one to remember with an unprecedented number of coordinated events for families, carers and professionals.

Beaconsfield, UK – Sunrise Senior Living, the high quality care home alternative, has embraced the idea of promoting the awareness of Alzheimer’s and other dementias by organising talks, seminars, fundraisers and meetings with care professionals at all 27 Sunrise residences in England and Wales during Dementia Awareness Week.

Whilst in the past, individual Sunrise residences participated in dementia awareness activities, never before has a fully coordinated programme been organised that features 70 individual events in total including: tea dances, dealing with memory loss seminars, fashion shows, sponsored walks, open house events and street parties.

Many events will be organized to raise funds for The Alzheimer’s Society (the charity that has designated the special week), but the overall emphasis will be on actually promoting a greater understanding of age-related memory loss and ways to provide practical and empathic care for those who have a condition of this kind.

Dementia Awareness Week at Sunrise will also be promoted through national press advertising in The Times and Telegraph and local newspapers serving areas around Sunrise residences.

“Sunrise Senior Living has been at the vanguard of caring for seniors with dementia for more than 25 years. It is fitting that Sunrise should mark this special week with a powerful awareness-building and fund-raising campaign that brings age-related memory loss to the fore. Everyone at Sunrise has a passion for care and this is a great opportunity to share that in a purposeful way,” commented John Kirk, Director of Sales and Marketing for Sunrise’s UK operation.


Most of Sunrise’s events are open to the public. Those interested in participating should visit http://www.sunrise-care.co.uk or call Sunrise on 0800 012 1861.

About Sunrise Senior Living
Sunrise operates 25 senior living communities in the UK and has 2 more in development, due to open later in 2009. Sunrise is the pioneering senior living and care provider with more than 45,000 residents and 38,000 employees internationally. The international headquarters is based at McLean, Virginia in the USA. Since the first Sunrise community opened in 1981, the Sunrise operating philosophy has been to provide services and care to seniors following Sunrise's Principles of Service: encouraging independence, enabling freedom of choice, preserving dignity, celebrating individuality, nurturing the spirit and involving family and friends. All Sunrise team members are trained to provide services and care in a manner that supports these principles and furthers Sunrise's mission. http://www.sunrise-care.co.uk
