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
