Down’s Syndrome Scotland’s vision is that society fully accepts and includes people with Down’s syndrome.
Every day we support families and people with Down’s syndrome to reach their fullest potential by providing a range of services, influencing public policy and by changing attitudes. We urgently need funding to help families who are struggling right now.
People with Down’s syndrome tell us they want to be active members of their communities, they want to be visible, valued and included.
Every month we receive calls for help from family members worried about the mental health of their son, daughter, brother or sister due to loneliness, isolation or exclusion.
Your donation is vital. Because of you, our committed Family Support Team can connect with every person with Down’s syndrome in Scotland who need us – please donate and help improve the quality of life of everyone with Down’s syndrome living in Scotland.

We are the national charity for hospice care, supporting over 200 hospices in the UK. We believe that everyone matters throughout their life right up until they die, and that no one should die in avoidable pain or suffering.
Our aim is to make sure that everyone with a life limiting or terminal condition gets the very best care, and we believe hospices are critical to achieving this.
Collectively hospices in the UK care for around 360,000 people every year, and we work closely with them to support their vital work and to create a stronger voice for hospice care. We also support the development of hospice and palliative care worldwide.

Simply by completing a donation form, you can choose to support Hospice UK, directly from your pay.
