Cancer is the scourge of our time. Every year around 26,000 Scots are diagnosed and this figure continues to rise.
Leading oncologists and radiologists working in Scotland highlight substantial underfunding in the area in which this Fund focuses - new medical applications derived from the range of the electromagnetic spectrum, predicted by the great Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell.
There are pressing needs for small scale grants to fund seed-corn research projects like those already supported by CMCRF, as well as larger sums to fund clinical trials.
Our mission is to help people with dyslexia in Scotland to reach their full potential.
To make that happen, we have set three clear goals:
provide high quality services to people with dyslexia
influence change at a national level
support our network of branches, members and partners
Our services
We support people affected by dyslexia, and campaign on their behalf, in many different ways. Whether through the national helpline, access to experienced tutors, our Adult Network, our network of local branches, conferences, training, road shows or via our website, we raise awareness, support dyslexic people and campaign for change.
Making change happen
We campaign for recognition and change and work with a range of stakeholders to raise awareness and to ensure best practice. We also support dyslexia research, projects and initiatives.
The Society relies on donations in order to provide many of it's social and extra activities. The funding the Society receives from local Government is purely to meet the statutoy requirements of local Government. All other activities have to be funded by the Society and we are grateful for the donations and legacies we receive which enable us to enhance our service to our clients. We receive no other funding to support these activities. Without the support of such kind donations and the efforts of our many volunteers, our activities would be very much restricted.
