Charities
We are the charity dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats across Africa. We raise money to support a wide range of avian conservation projects in African countries. We also collaborate with partners, whose aims align with ours, on conservation efforts in Africa. Our Bulletin, website, apps and other resources on all things ornithological in Africa are second to none.
ACLT (African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust) is a 40+ times award winning charity committed to providing hope to patients living with blood cancer and illnesses where a matched donor (stem cell, blood or organ) is required to save a life. Our work is driven by a belief that no one should die waiting for a donor to become available. ACLT was established by Beverley De-Gale OBE and Orin Lewis OBE in 1996, three years after their 6-year-old son Daniel De-Gale was diagnosed with an acute leukaemia and subsequently needed a Stem Cell transplant to survive.
Against Breast Cancer is a registered charity funding vital nationwide research into breast cancer secondary spread. Our aim is to increase survival after breast cancer treatment, through new research into diet and lifestyle and information gathered will also contribute to the development of cancer vaccines.
We are a day centre running activities for older adults. We provide day care Monday to Friday from 10am till 3pm with lunch and a range of stimulating activites. We also run a Men's Shed and Ladies Lounge which are for more able bodied individuals who want to meet together and undertake hobby type activities.
Our mission is to change lives through reminiscence, improving health and wellbeing. We work with people of all ages on creative projects, especially with people living with dementia and carers; both of these demographics can access 1:1 support from us. Our Goals: 1. To reduce isolation and loneliness 2. To promote intergenerational understanding 3. To improve the quality of life and care for older people and those with dementia 4. To support carers to maintain their own health and wellbeing Our values Age Exchange strives to be person-centred, creative, open and inclusive in all that we do, including activity groups for people with dementia and their carers where they can access support; and community groups for people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy physical activity, art, languages and short educational courses. We believe that focusing on the individual using reminiscence-based practices in dementia care, their stories and experiences are the cornerstone of reducing loneliness, making way to improving wellbeing. We want to create an environment where everyone feels valued and included. We recognise that differences exist and thus respond to individual need.
Age Scotland aims to help all older people present a strong and effective voice and to reduce the challenges for those facing serious and multiple disadvantages as they grow older.
Age UK is the UK's largest organisation working with and for older people. We provide information and advice on various issues concerning later life including benefits, care, health and housing. We also campaign nationally on issues affecting older people.
