There are over 700,000 people with dementia in the UK, and more and more people are diagnosed each year. Although there is as yet no cure for dementia, good support networks can make the world of difference to people with dementia and their families. Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland's leading specialist dementia charity helping people with all kinds of dementia, their families and carers, and campaigning to improve public policies. We provide practical services around Scotland including day care, home support, counselling and support groups. From our central office Edinburgh, we produce a wide range of information leaflets about research, drug treatments, service options and other caring issues. We also run a confidential freephone 24-hour Helpline.
The RSPCA is the world's oldest animal welfare charity. Our aims are to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals. We care about all animals: pets, farmed animals, exotics, wildlife and animals used in science - everything from puppies and kittens through to leopard geckos and guinea pigs. We have 400 frontline animal rescuers saving animals from danger every single day. We also have expert staff in 14 animal hospitals, wildlife centers and animal centres throughout England and Wales. The RSPCA’s Animal Rescue Line answered over one million calls last year - that’s one call every 30 seconds. Our aim is to prevent cruelty and in most cases investigated by our inspectors the welfare of animals is improved by the dispensing of advice and education.
