Charities

The British Dyslexia Association is the voice for the 10% of the population that experience dyslexia. We aim to influence government and other institutions to promote a dyslexia friendly society, that enables dyslexic people of all ages to reach their full potential. We campaign to encourage schools to work towards becoming dyslexia-friendly; to reduce the number of dyslexic young people in the criminal justice system; and to enable dyslexic people to achieve their potential in the workplace. The British Dyslexia Association provides the only national helpline supporting tens of thousands of people each year. Working alongside our network of Local Dyslexia Associations, we support people of all ages from across the country.

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is the leading national charity fighting heart and circulatory disease - the UK's biggest killer. The BHF funds research, education and life-saving equipment and helps heart patients return to a full and active way of life. We rely on donations to continue our vital work.

The Society is dedicated to helping & protecting hedgehogs native to the UK (Erinaceus europaeus). Through our campaigns, advocacy and educational projects we work to raise awareness of the practical steps we can take to help reverse the decline of hedgehogs in the wild, improve their welfare and safeguard the future of this much-loved animal. We also fund research that provides important new insights into the conservation and welfare of hedgehogs. Education packs, Project packs, Fundraising Packs, Carer Packs, Vet Packs and leaflets dealing with all aspects of hedgehog life are available on request. The BHPS offers help and first aid advice to those finding sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs and maintains a list of independent rehabilitators in the UK. Regular newsletters are sent to supporters as well as a Hogalogue selling hedgehog related goods.
