The Art Fund (originally known as The National Art Collections Fund) is an independent membership-based British charity, which raises funds to aid the acquisition of artworks for the nation.
www.artfund.org/
The Art Fund now has 80,000 members and apart from giving grants, acts as a channel for many gifts and bequests, as well as lobbying on behalf of museums and galleries and their users. The Fund relies on members' subscriptions and public donations for funds and does not receive funding from the government or the National Lottery. It has assisted in the acquisition of over 860,000 works of art of every kind from all over the world – including many of the most famous objects in British public collections, such Velázquez's Rokeby Venus in the National Gallery, Picasso's Weeping Woman in Tate Modern, and the Iron Age Snettisham Hoard in the British Museum.

The British Red Cross is a volunteer-led humanitarian organisation that helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are.
We enable vulnerable people at home and overseas to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their own communities.
And when the crisis is over, we help people recover and move on with their lives.
In the UK
Our work in the UK focuses on four areas:
* emergency response – we help individuals and communities respond to and recover from emergencies, such as floods, fires and evacuations.
* first aid training – we promote life-saving and other humanitarian skills so individuals can be ready to help their own communities
* health and social care – we help people during difficult periods of their life, such as an illness, breakdown in support arrangements or bereavement.
* refugees and other vulnerable migrants – we help new arrivals to the UK and work to reunite families separated by conflicts and disasters.
Around the world
Our overseas work focuses on four areas:
* emergency response – we help communities affected by conflicts and disasters.
* disaster preparedness – we work in countries that are vulnerable to disasters, giving communities the skills and tools to survive.
* health and social care – we support vulnerable communities with a range of healthcare needs, including HIV, tuberculosis, community-based healthcare, and water and sanitation.
* international humanitarian law – we promote the international laws governing the way conflicts are fought, minimising the negative effects they have on civilians and combatants.

Our mission:
As part of the international WWF network, WWF-UK addresses global threats to people and nature such as climate change, the peril to endangered species and habitats, and the unsustainable consumption of the world’s natural resources. We do this by influencing how governments, businesses and people think, learn and act in relation to the world around us, and by working with local communities to improve their livelihoods and the environment upon which we all depend.
WWF uses its practical experience, knowledge and credibility to create long-term solutions for the planet’s environment.
