Dundee Heritage Trust is a registered charity with responsibility for the care and interpretation of Captain Scott’s internationally significant Royal Research Ship Discovery and the associated Discovery Point Antarctic Museum and for Scotland’s Jute Museum @ Verdant Works, one of the nation’s most important textile museums. We have in our care two Recognised Collections of National Significance, relating to Discovery and polar exploration and the Dundee textile industry. We provide high quality learning services to over 8,000 school children and countless community groups every year. It costs around £1 million each year to run the two museums. Dundee Heritage Trust receives a small subsidy from local government that equates to just 6% of the running costs. Accordingly, we require support for a wide range of projects including the care and conservation of our collections which includes Discovery, exhibitions, learning programmes and capital developments. Donations can be general or specific to particular projects or aspects of our work.
Service User Network Swindon,(SUNS) was founded in 1998. SUNS is a local charity run by mental health service users, with the aim of providing opportunities for service users to have a voice about the care they receive, by empowering them and providing opportunities for people to speak out. SUNS aims to support, train and encourage mental health service users to speak out about their experiences of mental health services. SUNS achieves its aims by attending and contributing to local NHS trust meetings. Service Users' feedback is gathered by providing a safe and friendly space in which service users can meet and discuss their experiences together and raise any concerns or examples of good practice. Where there are concerns, SUNS is able to contact care providers to ensure that appropriate care is given to service users. Part of this involves offering clubs and training open to all service users, in order to help build confidence, which will in turn help service users to contribute to meetings they attend. SUNS also works with its partner organistaion, Swindon Listening Line, which was set up in 2009. Swindon Listening Line is a telephone helpline which helps anyone in the Swindon area who feels worried, stressed or lonely, by offering a friendly ear, signposting people to organisations that can help them, and working alongside the local NHS crisis team. Service user feedback is also gathered in this way, and any calls which require further action are followed up on. Callers range from those wanting a quick chat to people who are in the midst of a suicide attempt; a number of lives have been saved by Swindon Listening Line, and it is felt that if people discuss their problems early, they are less likely to develop full-blown mental health problems.

Fylde District Scout Council oversees the operational running of Scout Groups in Fylde District, West Lancashire. It also runs, operates, and maintains a campsite and activity centre of 5 acres in St. Annes. See our website for further details. In July 2010 we were hit by an arson attack which completely destroyed our main building comprising of an activity hall, showers, toilets, kichen and dormitory accommodation for up to 40 persons. We were hit by a second arson attack in March this year which destroyed our toilet and shower block for campers together with our workshop and garaging facilities for our grass cutters and tractor (which were also destroyed). Our insurers have taken on resposibility for the rebuild of this unit, and it is currently under way. In order to keep our campsite open we have had to purchase a portaloo unit from our own funds until the new toilets and showers are rebuilt. Meanwhile our aim is to have the new main building ready and fit for the twenty first century up and running by Easter 2012. Our modern accommodation this time will hold up to 56 persons on two floors, with a state of the art kitchen unit, showers, toilets, conference room, activity centre and a scout shop. See our website. Your help is vitally important to our cause, if you want a look around our facilities contact us through our website, and we will be only too happy to give you "The Grand Tour".
