Each year PIP organises and supports disabled adults from London to attend a residential holiday on a farm for five memorable and action-packed days. Students work on the farm, taking care of and interacting with animals, participating in new activities such as apple picking, woodland exploration, cooking, and visiting local attractions. Many of our students have never been away from home, or out of London before. A holiday enables disabled people to take part in new and challenging experiences.
Our project provides long-term care to Armenian orphans with disabilities over the age of 18 with no place to call home. We offer them an alternative to the Soviet psychiatric institutions.
Russia and the former Soviet Union lack national bone marrow donor registries. The patients have to pay 5,000 euros for the donor search abroad. Our goal is to help 10 needy patients a year.
