SCAS employ Care Attendants to go into carers homes to look after their loved one/dependant so that they can have a well deserved break from their caring role. The carers can use this time as they wish: catch up on sleep, have a rest, get their shopping, meet friends or attend appointments. Carers’ health and wellbeing is improved greatly from having a regular break to look forward to and enjoy with peace of mind that their loved one/dependant is being kept safe and well looked after. The ‘cared for’ people also benefit from this as it greatly improves their health and wellbeing by seeing someone different, having more social interaction and if they are able, our Care Attendants often take them out into the community for a drive in the car, or to café’s. Anyone can refer a carer to us or carers can contact us themselves for support. Our fundraised monies and donations are used to pay towards the services we provide. We cover all areas of Shetland.
New Bridge creates links between the offender and the community. We befriend prisoners and provide mentors to help maintain a crime free life on release. New Bridge trains volunteers to befriend and encourage prisoners. Many feel lonely, cut off, angry or depressed and want a listening ear, a non judgemental mind with which to engage or just news of the outside world. We run a mentoring project based in the Merseyside area. In London, New Bridge runs London Through The Gate a befriending service aimed at short term prisoners, many of whom have led chaotic lives with frequent spells in custody. Volunteers work in pairs to help offenders make the right choices about their lifestyle that prevent a return to prison. Your generous donation will help us maintain and develop our befriending and mentoring services so that more prisoners are given a greater chance of a positive, crime free life. Thank you so much for your support.

A king was buried in a 90-foot ship at Sutton Hoo, across the river from Woodbridge, in Suffolk. The ship was discovered in 1939 but not much remained, just the impressive imprint of a ghost in the sand. Many of the artefacts have been reconstructed, but not the ship, so we are putting that right.

Over that time, it has proved to be the most successful band in the history of Scottish brass band music. The band has won the Scottish Championships 32 times and, during the 1990's, twice carried back to Scotland the National Championship of Great Britain - the only Scottish band ever to win this prestigious championship. The key aims of the band as a charity are to: (1) Promote public appreciation and understanding of brass band music and to stimulate interest in the art of brass band playing for the benefit of the public generally and especially members of the Co-operative Movement. (2) Promote the education and training of people of all ages, in the playing of brass instruments and their appreciation of brass band music.
