The sooner these donations are made available for the benefit of blind and partially sighted people the more efficient we can be in the delivery of our services. Did you know that £700,000 was raised from loose change last year? It costs £1 to produce a Braille, large print or audio catalogue to tell blind and partially sighted people about the latest products to make life easier, and £15 to pay for an in depth benefits check to ensure that blind or partially sighted people are receiving the help they are entitled to. The money you raise can help us provide these vital services.

The life changing services that Caudwell Children deliver across the UK are made possible with the support of thousands of volunteers giving their time to enable disabled children to reach their full potential. We appreciate and value each of our volunteers and want to make your volunteering experience a rewarding and enjoyable one. The time and commitment of volunteers is needed to promote the services of Caudwell Children which can be offered to families who have a child with a disability/chronic health condition. This will involve running an information stand in the local hospital and talking to families who are attending appointments.

Volunteers are required to play a crucial role in the Family Services department for Caudwell Children. In order the service to develop and expand it is crucial that we are able to gain valuable feedback from the families we have helped. Through telephone contact with the families we have supported, volunteers will collect feedback from our service users that will influence the future of the service. Volunteers will be trained to ensure that the families have received the support needed and identify any further support the family may require.

Help build up the pace in Scotland by sharing badges and displaying posters across your local area; playing your part in the future of Scottish medical research and taking on heart disease. The Heart of Scotland Appeal is a fundraising campaign to raise and spend money in Scotland on vital medical research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease. 41 people die every day in Scotland from cardiovascular disease and the death rate from coronary heart disease is almost 50% higher than for the South East of England. This isn’t fair and we want to change this. You'll be given posters for you to display in your local shops, community centres, libraries, supermarkets, pharmacies and doctors’ surgeries to help reach as many people as possible. The Heart of Scotland Appeal is backed by internationally acclaimed Scottish fashion designer, Christopher Kane, who's designed 4 unique badges.

Let’s get everyone wearing a Heart of Scotland badge.

Volunteers are asked to make a real difference by spreading the word of Poppyscotland, and educating people that we don’t just support people in November, and therefore fundraise all year round.

Volunteers will also encourage people to take info about tea and toast or poppy bounce, and persuade people to do something this Armed Forces Day.
