One in five people in Scotland are living with the effects of chest, heart and stroke conditions. After a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition or a stroke, many people experience fear and isolation and struggle with the impact on their lives. With your help, we can provide vital services to help them live the life they want to. By supporting us you will be helping people across Scotland to take back their lives, regain their confidence and live life to the full. #nolifehalflived
In North East Scotland, there are over 1,800 babies, children and young people living with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition. Together, we can provide vital support for these children and their families while helping them create memories for the whole family to treasure. Every penny raised from your mud-covered fun at the Beast Race will go towards the creation of a new specialist facility here in Aberdeen for the families of North East Scotland
When your baby dies, it is an incredibly traumatic and extremely lonely time as you may struggle to find others who understand the overwhelming emotions you experience. We can be there to hold your hand and walk with you on your journey, as you start to find a way to cope with your grief. Our families are at the heart of everything that we do. All our bereavement support services are free and for as long as they are needed. We know that no one person’s grief is the same, so our support services are individualised for each family we support. You can help us by raising vital funds to support our families.

Friends of ANCHOR is a local charity supporting those in the North-east with a cancer or haematology diagnosis.
