Professional staff are on hand to help both patients and carers who are facing the tough questions, exhausting treatments and difficult emotions that cancer can bring.

Last year Maggie's welcomed over 200,000 visitors and that number is expected to increase substantially over the next three years. JDRF is the type 1 diabetes research charity for funding and coordinating ground breaking clinical studies around the world, including projects in Dundee and Edinburgh. More than 30,000 people in Scotland live with the condition and numbers are increasing at a rate of about 4% each year, particularly in children under five. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease and cannot be prevented. JDRF is working to capitalise further on Scotland’s expertise in biotech and life science sectors in order to find the cure. Seamab is a residential school located in Kinross-shire. It provides specialist, intensive care for Scotland's most vulnerable children. It believes that children can heal, grow and learn, even when they have experienced severe trauma, neglect and loss. Each child is supported by a truly dedicated group of adults, who help them to regain trust in others. Our support will help them to develop the school's facilities. The Polar Academy works with secondary school pupils who are constrained by a lack of self-esteem. It gives them the chance to redefine their physical and mental limits by taking part in rigorous training and a 10 day polar expedition in Greenland. The Shoot is supporting the development of a Polar Academy legacy programme, helping young people build their confidence and act as role models to others. HorseBack UK aims to inspire and promote positive change through the delivery of therapy programmes using horsemanship. It works with serving or former military personnel and disengaged school pupils, all of whom are suffering from physical injuries, mental illness or are vulnerable in other ways. We will be helping them expand their support with young people in the local area.
