Bobath Scotland<br />
Cerebral Palsy<br />
Centre<br />
Bobath Scotland’s aim is to improve the<br />
quality of life for people living with cerebral<br />
palsy throughout Scotland. Bobath therapy<br />
is suitable for all types of cerebral palsy and<br />
we see children and adults throughout<br />
Scotland. They can be referred to the centre<br />
by their consultant paediatrician, their local<br />
therapist, a GP, a family member or they can<br />
self-refer. For many who come to Bobath<br />
this is the first experience of discovering<br />
what they CAN do as opposed to being told<br />
what they cannot do.<br />
£5000 can provide a year’s support for<br />
children like Ike.<br />
Bobath Scotland is determined to continue<br />
to offer treatment on the basis of clinical<br />
need rather than the ability to pay or the<br />
existence of funding. Support from The<br />
<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Caledonian</strong> Trust can make such a<br />
difference to children from all over Scotland<br />
who require help at crucial stages in their<br />
lives. With your help, children and families<br />
can overcome the barriers that their<br />
disability presents and fulfil their potential in<br />
all aspects of their lives.<br />
From everyone at Bobath Scotland, we hope<br />
you have a wonderful evening and thank you<br />
on behalf of all the Ikes who will be helped<br />
thanks to your generosity.<br />

Scotland’s Charity Air<br />
Ambulance<br />
We need you today… you may need us<br />
tomorrow<br />
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) is<br />
the only charity-funded emergency air<br />
ambulance service in Scotland. SCAA is an<br />
independent registered charity, solely<br />
funded by the communities of Scotland. It is<br />
based in Perth, which is ideally placed to<br />
support East Central Scotland and to<br />
provide back-up to the two Scottish<br />
Ambulance Service helicopters in Inverness<br />
and Glasgow.<br />
Our helicopter resource increases the air<br />
ambulance capacity and resilience across<br />
Scotland by 50% and it will be tasked to<br />
time–critical medical emergencies where it<br />
will:<br />
• Save life<br />
• Preserve life<br />
• Increase survival rates
