The devastating impact of Covid-19 has left many charities on the brink of survival. But here we speak to three inspiring projects - all funded by The National Lottery - who are adapting their vital services during the crisis
Struggling new mums are being sent 'baby boxes' - here's what they contain
From women in prison to victims of domestic violence, London-based charity PramDepot hasn't let the coronavirus stop it delivering 'baby boxes' to new mums and mums-to-be in need. Here, its founder Karen explains how...
"A couple of weeks after lockdown started, I found myself on the other side of London in a housing estate I didn’t know, trying to find a young woman I had never met before. She was a refugee, pregnant, alone and living in temporary accommodation. It was pouring with rain and I was standing in a stairwell as, in broken English, she was trying to explain over the phone how I could find her.
"When I finally got to her doorstep, I couldn’t even smile at her because I was wearing a face mask. And social distancing rules meant I couldn’t go in to sit down, have a cup of tea and explain the things in the box I was bringing her, as I would do normally. But as she stood in her doorway, I could tell she was really excited.
"Hours later, we received a text message. It said how happy and delighted she was with the things we had brought her – that now she finally felt ready to have her baby, which she hadn’t before. It was such a moving moment.
"We normally have a core group of 10 volunteers, but since coronavirus it has just been me and my daughter Rosa, 32, running everything. So we decided to concentrate on baby boxes for newborns. They contain a sling, a steriliser and a breast pump as well as baby clothes, nappies, wet wipes, nappy cream and hygiene stuff for the mother. We’ve even started putting in a couple of loo rolls.
"It has been a struggle, but we have been helped enormously by National Lottery funding. And because lockdown has made it difficult to accept donations, where necessary we have also been able to afford a few bits to put in the boxes.
"The grant from The National Lottery has been a lifeline for us, allowing us to keep giving out our boxes which, in turn, the mothers say are their lifeline."
PramDepot is a small organisation that supports vulnerable mothers in London that doesn't take self-referrals. If you, or anyone you know, is a new mother in need of urgent support based outside of London please speak to your midwife who may be able to recommend a similar local organisation in your area.
Meanwhile, in Kent, another National Lottery-funded project, Youth Sports Trust, is tackling a problem facing young people - fitness and staying connected with friends...
Sport is keeping kids connected
Teacher Guy Wilkins works closely with children’s charity Youth Sport Trust to enable children and young people to access competitive sport, training opportunities and learning leadership skills - and lockdown hasn't put a stop to that.
The 60-year-old, from Kent's Marjorie McClure School, said: "During lockdown we’ve been running online meetings, setting physical challenges and sharing ideas for PE at home - such as ‘washing line tennis’ - to bring people even closer together.
"Many of us also got involved with the charity 2.6 challenge. For example, one of our students, James, 18 – who is a massive Crystal Palace fan – did 26 keepy-uppies.”
James's mum Wendy said the charity has been a vital link to the outside world for her son - and he has loved embracing the challenges.
She told us: "James has really benefited from having regular Zoom calls from school with his form tutor and Guy, as well as Tom who runs the after school cricket club which James attends.
"James loves to have a look at these ideas and try out as many as he can. They suggested that the pupils try the daily Joe Wicks sessions as a fitness challenge and he's ended up doing them most days. The school challenged the pupils to take part in the 2.6 challenge so James ran/walked 2.6km and made a donation to the Bromley Mencap charity."
Guy’s school – which is one of a network of six YST inclusive schools across South London – receives up to £3,000 of National Lottery funding each year. This money helps to pay for leadership opportunities, give young people training to increase self esteem, confidence and communication skills, and the opportunity to experience badminton, volleyball, wheelchair basketball and athletics at inclusive sports festivals.
They will also be taking part in YST’s National School Sport Week at Home, taking place from 20 to 26 June. You can find out more about it here.
Back in London, The Science Museum has come up with its own idea for getting people involved - by putting many of its amazing artifacts online...
Science Museum fans flock online
Natasha McEnroe is the Science Museum's Keeper of Medicine. She explained: “The first year of opening for the Science Museum's new 'Medicine: The Wellcome Galleries' hasn’t at all been what I envisaged.
“We were only open for five months before we had to close, and it was especially sad because we’d been lucky enough to have glowing press and visitor feedback.
“Since lockdown we’ve been focusing on really pushing our digital delivery - which you can explore here . We are working on our oral history programme and - as part of a larger digitisation project, we’re photographing more than 250,000 objects from our collections – from space suits to Tracy the transgenic sheep. There’s also a very extensive blog and learning resources and going online makes everything accessible to a much wider audience.
“Some of our most searched items have been pieces including historic hospital ventilators.”
The newly-opened Medicine Galleries - which were part funded by an £8million grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund - have proved a huge hit since moving online.
In April, online visits to the Science Museum Group’s learning resources increased by 400% over an average month, with visits to the online collection in May breaking all previous records.
“The team is all working hard from home on what will eventually be the Covid collection,” Natasha reveals. “It’s quite difficult to collect around infectious diseases, and you have to move quickly. We’re thinking about what historians of the future will want to see. We’ve even kept things like the letter Boris Johnson sent out to every UK household.
“It’s a natural instinct when living through something like this to try and make sense of it. One thing’s for sure though, we would need to do audience testing before considering an exhibition about Covid-19.”

Speaking about his experiences outside of television, he said: "When I came to Leicester aged 10 from Jamaica, everyone would look at me as I walked by. So I would turn around, smile and wave.
"Later, when I walked into my very first job interview and the guy said to me, 'Why didn't you tell me you were black?,' I replied, 'Why didn't you tell me you were white?"'
Mr Motivator has been back on screens during the coronavirus lockdown, presenting an exercise slot on BBC Breakfast.
He told the magazine: "Surviving lockdown is about being positive, but we have also been learning about what really matters....
"Racism is always stupid and wrong, but it seems especially so in a time dominated by illness, a time when we should all be realising that we all need each other.
"Imagine if a racist person was badly injured and needed a blood transfusion to survive.

"I don't think that person would hesitate to take my blood and, when they recovered, would be happily walking around with it inside of them. Blood does not discriminate."

thedailymirror--2020-06-16--Four death row inmates convicted of murdering children given execution dates

Four mass murderers on death row , including a white supremacist , will become the first federal inmates to be executed in nearly 20 years .
Attorney General William P. Barr on Monday directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons ( BOP ) to schedule the deaths of Daniel Lewis Lee , Wesley Ira Purkey , Dustin Lee Honken and Keith Dwayne Nelson for July and August .
The Trump administration 's plan to resume federal executions has been held up by court fights over the drugs used in lethal injections .
The administration won a victory in April when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Columbia Circuit tossed district judge 's injunction that blocked the four death penalty sentences from being carried out .
Each inmate has exhausted their appeals and will be executed by lethal injection at US Penitentiary Terre Haute , Indiana , according to the US Department of Justice .
Lee , a member of a white supremacist group , murdered a family of three , including an eight-year-old girl .
After robbing and shooting the victims with a stun gun , Lee covered their heads with plastic bags , sealed the bags with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with rocks , and threw the family of three into the Illinois bayou .
On May 4 , 1999 , a jury in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas found him guilty of numerous offences , including three counts of murder in aid of racketeering , and he was sentenced to death .
Wesley Ira Purkey violently raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl , and then dismembered , burned , and dumped her body in a septic pond .
He also was convicted in state court for using a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 80-year-old woman who suffered from polio and walked with a cane .
On November 5 , 2003 , a jury in the US District Court for the Western District of Missouri found Purkey guilty of kidnapping a child resulting in the child ’ s death , and he was sentenced to die .
Honken shot and killed five people — two men who planned to testify against him , and a single , working mother and her ten-year-old and six-year-old daughters .
On October 14 , 2004 , a jury in the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iowa found Honken guilty of numerous offences , including five counts of murder during the course of a continuing criminal enterprise , and he was sentenced to death .
Honken ’ s execution is scheduled to occur on July 17 .
Nelson kidnapped a 10-year-old girl rollerblading in front of her home , and in a forest behind a church , raped her and strangled her to death with a wire .
On October 25 , 2001 , Nelson plead guilty in the US District Court for the Western District of Missouri to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a child for the purpose of sexual abuse which resulted in death , and he was sentenced to death .
Nelson is set to be executed on August 28 .
In July 2019 , Attorney General Barr had directed the BOP to revise the Federal Execution Protocol to provide for the use of a single-drug , pentobarbital .
This is similar to protocols used in hundreds of state executions and repeatedly upheld by federal courts , including the Supreme Court , as consistent with the Eighth Amendment .
A district court ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out executions under revised protocol , but the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit has vacated that injunction .
This has cleared the way for the federal government to resume capital punishment after a nearly two-decade hiatus .
“ The American people , acting through Congress and presidents of both political parties , have long instructed that defendants convicted of the most heinous crimes should be subject to a sentence of death , ” said Attorney General Barr .
“ The four murderers whose executions are scheduled today have received full @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laws .
`` We owe it to the victims of these horrific crimes , and to the families left behind , to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system . ''

Attorney General William P. Barr directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to schedule the deaths of the four mass murderers after an injunction was lifted by the US Court of Appeals

Lee, a member of a white supremacist group, murdered a family of three, including an eight-year-old girl.
After robbing and shooting the victims with a stun gun, Lee covered their heads with plastic bags, sealed the bags with duct tape, weighed down each victim with rocks, and threw the family of three into the Illinois bayou.
On May 4, 1999, a jury in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas found him guilty of numerous offences, including three counts of murder in aid of racketeering, and he was sentenced to death.
Lee’s execution is scheduled for July 13.
Wesley Ira Purkey violently raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl, and then dismembered, burned, and dumped her body in a septic pond.
He also was convicted in state court for using a claw hammer to bludgeon to death an 80-year-old woman who suffered from polio and walked with a cane.
On November 5, 2003, a jury in the US District Court for the Western District of Missouri found Purkey guilty of kidnapping a child resulting in the child’s death, and he was sentenced to die.
Purkey’s execution is scheduled for July 15.
Honken shot and killed five people — two men who planned to testify against him, and a single, working mother and her ten-year-old and six-year-old daughters.
On October 14, 2004, a jury in the US District Court for the Northern District of Iowa found Honken guilty of numerous offences, including five counts of murder during the course of a continuing criminal enterprise, and he was sentenced to death.
Honken’s execution is scheduled to occur on July 17.
Nelson kidnapped a 10-year-old girl rollerblading in front of her home, and in a forest behind a church, raped her and strangled her to death with a wire.
On October 25, 2001, Nelson plead guilty in the US District Court for the Western District of Missouri to the kidnapping and unlawful interstate transportation of a child for the purpose of sexual abuse which resulted in death, and he was sentenced to death.
Nelson is set to be executed on August 28.
In July 2019, Attorney General Barr had directed the BOP to revise the Federal Execution Protocol to provide for the use of a single-drug, pentobarbital.
This is similar to protocols used in hundreds of state executions and repeatedly upheld by federal courts, including the Supreme Court, as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.
A district court’s preliminary injunction had prevented BOP from carrying out executions under revised protocol, but the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit has vacated that injunction.
This has cleared the way for the federal government to resume capital punishment after a nearly two-decade hiatus.
“The American people, acting through Congress and presidents of both political parties, have long instructed that defendants convicted of the most heinous crimes should be subject to a sentence of death,” said Attorney General Barr.
“The four murderers whose executions are scheduled today have received full and fair proceedings under our Constitution and laws.
"We owe it to the victims of these horrific crimes, and to the families left behind, to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system."
