Guide Dogs

Guide Dogs want a society in which blind and partially-sighted people enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else. We have been providing blind and partially-sighted people with the freedom and independence a guide dog gives for nearly 80 years.

We support over 4,500 guide dog partnerships in the UK and provide people with a guide dog for as long as they need one. What’s more, the working life of a guide dog is about six-and-a-half years, and many owners have up to seven dogs during their lifetime. The full lifetime “cost of a guide dog” from birth to retirement is around £50,000.

The charity that receives no government funding for the guide dogs service and is entirely dependent on voluntary donations. It’s a big promise that we make and it can literally change someone’s life forever.

Marie Curie Cancer Care

Marie Curie Cancer Care is one of the UK’s Largest charities. It was established in 1948- the same year as the NHS. Employing more than 2,700 nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals, they expect to provide care to around 25,000 terminally ill patients in the community and in their hospices this year, along with support for their families.

They mainly care for people with cancer but also care for people with other life limiting illnesses. Their services are always free of charge to patients and their families. The charity is best known for its network of Marie Curie Nurses working in the community to provide end-of-life care for patients in their own homes.

They have nine hospices across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and two centres for palliative care research. They also run the world-renowned Marie Curie Research Institute, which investigates the causes and treatments of cancer. Since 2004, Marie Curie Cancer Care has been campaigning for more patients to be able to make the choice to be cared for and die at home. Research shows around 70 per cent of people would like to die at home if they had a terminal illness, with a sizeable minority opting for hospice care.

However, more than 50 per cent of cancer deaths still occur in hospital, the place people say they would least like to be. Financially, around 70 per cent of the charity’s income comes from the generous support of thousands of individuals, membership organisations and businesses, with the balance of their funds coming from the NHS. They also depend on an army of volunteers to support their work in both care and fundraising.

Woodland Trust

The Woodland Trust is the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, which owns and cares for more than 1,000 UK woods. Every single one of which is free for everyone to visit and enjoy.
The UK is one of the least wooded countries in Europe with just 12% woodland compared to 44% on the continent. The charity’s long term goal is to double native UK woodland. Each year the Trust plants more than half a million trees, which provide vital habitats to some of the country's most endangered species, such as the dormouse and the red squirrel.
The Trust’s aim is to involve as many people as possible in tree planting through events across the country. The charity’s Tree For all project, alone, has so far engaged more than 1.5 million children in planting over 6.5 million trees. The project has also sent out nearly 50,000 ‘Hedge and Copse’ packs to schools and youth groups, which has led to the planting of 130 miles of hedgerows across the UK.
