All funds donated by clients or the coach will directly help people who are affected by Alzheimer’s Disease because they either suffer from it themselves or are caring for someone who is.

Alzheimer Scotland’s work is invaluable and essential to many people who are affected by this dreadful disease. Their services include: 

* 24 hour National Dementia Helpline (www.alzscot.org - 0808 808 3000) 

* day centres providing the chance to socialise and enjoy activities and outings, and giving carers a break (some centres open in the evenings and at weekends too) 

* home support services providing company and help to maintain skills and independence at home, while the carer is free to go out (sometimes this is also available overnight) 

* drop-in centres where people with dementia and carers can socialise 

* support groups for carers and for people with dementia 
carer education helping carers learn more about the illness and how to cope 

* one-to-one support to help people with dementia and their families cope with the illness 

* welfare rights service 

* information and advice on a wide range of subjects.

Go to their website at http://www.alzscot.org/ for more information or to make individual private donations.*

If you wish to make a donation to the work of Alzheimer Scotland via Felicitas Life Coach you may send a cheque made payable to “Alzheimer Scotland” to: Felicitas Life Coach, 38 Harlawhill Gardens, Prestonpans, East Lothian EH32 9JQ.  Please also include your name and address with the cheque so that you can be sent an acknowledgement.

All donations from Felicitas Life Coach will be made in the memory of Mrs Mary Carr of Winchcombe in Gloucestershire.



*Although Alzheimer Scotland supports research into the causes and treatments of the disease, no donations from Felicitas Life Coach will go towards this part of their work. This is because some people believe it is unethical to use animals or stem-cells (when derived from human embryos) in medical research regardless of the possible long-term benefits to medicine, and Alzheimer Scotland will honour those beliefs. Instead, our donations will benefit people who need help in the here and now. Individual private donations may be spent on any area of their work, including research, unless a request is made to divert the funds to a specific project or projects.
