Children of Prisoners Europe

An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.

Hungarian Food Bank Association

The Hungarian Food Bank Association is a non-profit organization that works to make a link between surplus food and people in need in Hungary in order to help reduce poverty, hunger and malnutrition. We work nationwide with 400 partner organizations to reach 300.000 people in need. Our core activities include: 1. Collect food from traders eg. Tesco, Auchan (express distribution of surplus food from supermarkets ) 2. collect food from companies, manufacturers (non-profit wholesale) We can save surplus food from 4 commercial chains and from manufacturers (cca 80 parties currently). Our core activities include: 1. Collect food from traders eg. Tesco, Auchan (express distribution of surplus food from supermarkets ) 2. collect food from companies, manufacturers (non-profit wholesale) Express distribution of surplus food from supermarkets There are situations when we do not even have time to transport the products into our warehouse to distribute them to our partner organisations from there. Such is products donated by food stores whose sell by date is that particular day, so we have only a few hours to deliver the products to the people who need them. Our urgent food rescue scheme has been designed for these situations which means that food donations are transported from the retail stores directly by nearby partner organisations. The Food Bank in this scheme is responsible for building contacts, the adequate preparation of organisations involved, the launch of specific retail store projects and process monitoring primarily focusing on the constant control of shipping and distribution administration. The donations include high value food such as fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy and bakery products that people are very happy to receive. Non-profit wholesale The main activity of the Hungarian Food Bank is to seek the edible food that can not be commercialized for some reason, then to organize the transportation, safe storage and distribution of the collected resources. Among the donated food there are aesthetically, e.g. packaging defective products, food products approaching their expiration date, post-season products and other products that are safe for human consumption but the manufacturer or dealer doesn't want to or can not sell it commercially for any reason. These foods often are destroyed. The Hungarian Food Bank's aim is to research the most of these kinds of reserves then to deliver to those in needs. Food Bank doesn't offer direct donations to disadvantaged people, it distributes the collected surplus through charity organizations and governmental institutions which are in daily contact with the needy hereby the Hungarian Food Bank is a non-profit wholesaler" creating a bridge between the organizations that help the needy and the companies possessing and donating food surplus.

Hungarian Helsinki Committee / Magyar Helsinki Bizottsag

The Hungarian Helsinki Committee (HHC) is a leading human rights watchdog based in Budapest, Hungary, founded in 1989. We believe in a fair and just world, where equality is not a theory for a few, but a lived experience for all. In our theory of change we focus our efforts to defend (1) the right to asylum and international protection; (2) democratic values, the rule of law and a strong civil society; and (3) the rights of detainees and the fairness of the criminal justice system. We reach our achievements through combining a range of different tools and activities from free legal assistance and representation, through advocacy and communication, to research, empowerment and training activities. Most issues we work on are not addressed by any similar organisation in Hungary. Our high-quality work has been recognised by several prestigious human rights awards since 2017, including being a shortlisted nominee for the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Vaclav Havel Prize in 2018 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 2021.
