The Dyslexia Association (UK, 1082345) Browse events

The Dyslexia Association is an independent registered charity, established in 1971. We provide a wide range of services peole of all ages with dyslexia, their families, educators, employers and the wider community. The Dyslexia Association exists to enrich the lives of people with dyslexia by helping them understand their learning difference, discover their strengths & find solutions to the challenges they face. This year our fundraising appeal is to raise the funds we need to continue providing our free Helpline and Advice service. We receive thousands of calls and it costs us approximately £30,000 a year to give this support. Research has shown that dyslexia affects 10% of the population with 4% of the population being severely affected. That’s approximately 6 million people in the UK. Yet many dyslexics pass through the education system without ever having their dyslexia identified. Instead they struggle through education and life, often thinking they are ‘thick’ or ‘stupid’. People with unidentified dyslexia often suffer from feelings of failure, low self-esteem, lack of confidence and under performance in education and at work. They need our help and we need yours. Please support us, thank you.  If you would like to talk to someone about raising funds for our charity, then please contact: Dee Caunt - Chief Executive - [email protected]

Sibs (UK, 1145200) Browse events

Why we support siblings There are 2.3 million siblings in the UK growing up with/have grown up with a brother or sister who is disabled, or has a long-term illness or life limiting condition. Young siblings Children and young people growing up with a disabled brother or sister get less attention from parents and have more worries and responsibilities than their peers. They are more likely than their peers to experience public prejudice, family breakdown, bereavement and poverty. As a consequence, young siblings are vulnerable to isolation, bullying, reduced wellbeing and problems with progress at school.  Adult siblings Adult siblings, in particular those who have a brother or sister with a lifelong learning disability, provide support, advocacy and care for their brothers and sisters, at the same time as juggling support and care for their elderly parents, their own children, and their work. They rarely receive any acknowledgement of their role, information about service provision, or support for their own needs. They have also experienced a lifetime of their needs coming second to that of another person. As a consequence, adult siblings are vulnerable to isolation and are at risk for anxiety and depression, and have reduced opportunities for work and further education.  How we support siblings How your money will help in 2014 We have started a major project to make sure young siblings are supported in schools. We need to raise £30,000 to make this happen. So far we have raised £6,000 towards this and need to raise a further £24,000. We would love you to help us by making a donation or doing a fundraising event. Monica McCaffrey Chief Executive, Sibs
