Schizophrenia Fellowship

The Schizophrenia Fellowship is a nonprofit, community based organisation working in the field of mental illness. As such, it is governed by a management committee who guides the organisation strategically. The management committee is made up of 13 members, three of which must have a mental illness. We aim to eliminate stigma and create a society that is understanding and accepting ensuring that people with schizophrenia, and their carers and relatives, have access to information and appropriate services. We advocate on behalf of people with schizophrenia, their carers and relatives and mental health professionals, for better government policy in the areas of research, treatment, rehabilitation, housing and other relevant areas providing innovative programs and support.

Scholarship America

Scholarship America has been developed to mobilize America, through scholarships and educational support - making post secondary education possible for all students. In 1958, an Optometrist in Fall River, Mass., had a simple but profound idea–if everyone in his community gave just a dollar to an educational fund, it would be enough to help nearly every student in the community who wanted to attend college. Dr. Irving Fradkin called his plan "Dollars for Scholars," and it has expanded into what, today, is the nation's largest non-profit, private-sector scholarship and educational support organization.

SCIAF

SCIAF is the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund, the official aid and international development charity of the Catholic Church in Scotland. SCIAF works in 16 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America giving communities the tools, training and support they need to free themselves from poverty for good. We focus on three main issues: helping people to grow food and make a living; rebuilding lives that have been shattered by war; reducing the spread of HIV/AIDS and caring for people who have been affected by the virus. In Scotland, we are working to tackle the root causes of poverty and injustice. Unfair trade, debt and climate change all cause and sustain poverty. When disaster strikes, we work with local partners and with Caritas Internationalis (the world's largest network of aid and development agencies) to get help to those who need it – fast. As well as providing short-term, emergency supplies of food, water, shelter and medical care, we give communities the long-term support they need to help them recover, rebuild and get back on their feet.

Scratching Post

The Scratching Post is a cat rescue charity, based in Waltham Abbey & Cheshunt (Herts), but covering a much wider area. Our policy is to ensure that no cat is ever kept in unsuitable accommodation while it is waiting for a home. Every cat's individual needs are catered for and the best expert help is provided. We never put a cat to sleep unless there is no hope of being able to save him or her with a good quality of life, as advised by our vets. The scratching post also deals with feral cats. These cats are trapped, neutered and returned to where they come from, or found a new site. Whilst they are with us, they are kept in open plan stables, where they have space to run, hide and play.
