Cancer Research UK
Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated
to beating cancer through research. We have discovered new ways
to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer that together have saved
millions of lives across the world.
We have been at the heart of the progress that has already
seen survival rates double in the last thirty years. But one
in three of us will still get cancer at some point. Our groundbreaking
work, funded entirely by the public, will help ensure that
millions more people will survive.
We work in partnership with others to achieve the greatest
impact in the global fight against cancer. We provide life-changing
information to anyone affected by cancer. We run awareness
initiatives so that cancer can be detected early and help
people reduce their risk of the disease. And our campaigning
and lobbying keeps cancer at the top of the political agenda.

| The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association ("Guide Dogs")
is one of the UK's best-known, and best-loved, charities. Guide
dogs have been bringing independence and mobility to blind and
partially-sighted people for over 75 years, and today there
are more than 4,700 guide dog partnerships in the UK.
Each year Guide Dogs breeds around 1,000 puppies, which spend
their first year in the homes of volunteers, before working
with specialist trainers who teach them the skills needed
to guide a visually-impaired person. This takes about six
months, including several weeks' training with the new owner.
A guide dog has a working life of around six-and-a-half years,
and it's not unusual for someone to have five or more dogs
over their lifetime.
