Project Linus UK is a volunteer organisation. We aim to provide a sense of security and comfort to sick and traumatised babies, children and teenagers through the provision of new home made patchwork quilts and knitted blankets, and give volunteers across the UK the opportunity to contribute to their local community.

Project Linus began in America in 1995 when Karen Loucks saw a newspaper article showing how much a comfort blanket had helped a child cancer victim. She decided to organise blankets for her local children's cancer unit and started spreading the word. Since that time several million blankets and quilts have been delivered worldwide. The organisation began in the UK in March 2000 as a result of a Birmingham quilter's desire to help children in need. We now have a large network of volunteers across the UK who donate their time and skills to create beautiful blankets and quilts.

Our volunteer Area Co-ordinators and their Assistants deliver around 3,500 quilts and blankets to sick, disabled or disadvantaged children across the UK each month. We cannot reach out to every distressed child but we can help to provide them with tangible evidence that someone cares, along with the physical reassurance that comes with being snuggled up in a quilt. We always try to deliver quilts and blankets to children who are local to the makers.

A Supportive Space

for the Neurodivergent Community

My:ND Space CIC, (formally Reet Good Wood CIC) is a not-for-profit community organisation based in Greater Manchester. We offer a supportive space for the Neurodivergent community; without needing a formal diagnosis.

We use the art of furniture upcycling and other creative practices to bring Neurodivergent people together; to help people develop their confidence, express themselves, make authentic connections, build a non-clinical support network and reduce social isolation.​

​

Our space is led by, and for, the Neurodivergent community, and the informal, peer led approach we encourage all comes from lived experience.

​ ​

During our workshops, we use creative practices to improve wellbeing and offer a variety of social events to encourage peer support in a non-judgemental, safe space.

​​​​

We're passionate about providing a peer-led, supportive space for the Neurodivergent community in Greater Manchester and beyond. Our workshops provide attendees with opportunities to be their unmasked authentic selves, make meaningful connections, feel supported and understood, all whilst taking part in a relaxing, mindful activity.

​

​

​

​

To continue to provide this community space, our award-winning furniture is available to buy and is all refinished to a high standard. The profits from any sales are reinvested in to the project so we can offer more support for our community.

Take a look at our Shop and see for yourselves - your purchase would be supporting a much needed space!​​​​​​

​

​It's been quite a journey, butthis is only the beginning. We are now in the process of expanding; don't worry - furniture upcycling workshops will still be a part of it, but we're organically growing and we need to reflect what our community wants and needs. Exciting things are coming so watch this space!​​​​​​​ ​

During the height of Lockdown in 2020, X-Factor winner Sam Bailey gave free voice coaching sessions to two young Wigan Youth Zone members supported by Little Dreams Foundation.

Little Dreams Foundation, was set up in the year 2000 by husband and wife stars Phil and Orianne Collins as an international initiative to support young talent in music, arts and sports.

Sam, a huge Phil Collins fan, donated her time during the lockdown to conduct online training sessions to teach talented young singers Emily Pearce, 17, and Georgia Linde, 15, performance techniques including body and face movements as part of the programme.

Sam Bailey said; “I am loving working with Emily and Georgia from Wigan Youth Zone, they are two very talented young ladies with great potential and it’s great to be able to share some wisdom with them. Phil has been an inspiration for my whole family my entire life, so to be able to pay it forward in such a great way is fantastic!”

Since the Youth Zones involved with the Little Dreams Foundation, the teens have had extraordinary opportunities such as flying out to Miami and performing with Phil Collins himself and other Little Dreamers. They have been supported by the foundation through Wigan Youth Zone for two years now and have developed massively both personally and musically.

Georgia said: “I have had an amazing experience within the past two years being with the Little Dreamers. I never thought I would be able to experience such great opportunities, the favourite being singing with Phil Collins in Miami. I am thoroughly enjoying working on my new material and it has been amazing to work with Sam who is really helping me with my performance.”

Nikki Varley, Deputy Head of Youth Work at Wigan Youth Zone said: “Our tagline at the centre is ‘Somewhere to go, Something to do, Someone to talk to’ and this messaging is more important than ever before with the current crisis at hand.

Emily said: It feels amazing to get training off a celebrity who so many people know, we are fans of Sam, and she has years of experience in the industry that she can share with us. It’s been very empowering for me. The zoom sessions are something to look forward to and I’ve already learned a lot,”
