For nearly 70 years The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association have been helping blind and partially sighted people rebuild their lives and literally find a sense of direction with the assistance of a very specially trained dog. In Scotland there are over 550 guide dog owners. Many working their second or third dog, as well as many visually impaired people who have regained freedom through their training in long cane and low vision training techniques.
To Maintain this unique service in Scotland, the Forfar Training Centre and its 38 voluntary fund raising branches need to raise over three million pounds each year. Members of the public generously donate every penny and there is no government subsidy.
The Children's Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a Scottish charity and a company limited by guarantee. CHAS was founded in 1992 by a small group of parents and professionals who understood the needs of children with life limiting conditions and their families. Their aim was to provide hospice services in Scotland to children and their families in line with need and demand. At this time Scotland had no children's hospice, forcing families to make long journeys south of the border with their sick children to receive the support and practical help that only a children's hospice can offer. In 1993 with the support of the Scottish Office, CHAS embarked on a programme of public, corporate and professional awareness raising to secure the funds to create Scotland's first children's hospice. At that point the charity was entirely dependent on volunteer support. Volunteers remain a key resource for CHAS and are involved in all areas of the organisation.
