Support us

Campaigning for better policies and action for people with dyslexia is what drives us. But we need your help to do it.

Support people with dyslexia

Identifying dyslexia and supporting people of all ages is what we do. We campaign to ensure everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential. But we can’t do it alone. As a charity, we rely on people like you to fund our activities.

People like Karen Devine from East Lothian, who completed the 2009 London marathon, raising £1,250 for Dyslexia Scotland, and Steven Fraser who raised £1,035 by running a 10k in Kilmacolm.

Give as you earn

We’re asking people to give us just one pound every month for a whole year. Because we’re a charity, giving is tax free – so it’ll only cost you £9.36.

Give As You Earn is a payroll giving scheme administered by the Charities Aid Foundation. Any employee or pensioner paid under PAYE can donate to any charity in the UK, tax-free.

A first class idea

We need used stamps! Every time we collect enough to fill a mail sack, we get £40.

Do you receive letters, parcels and postcards at home or work? Perhaps you could ask your local school to collect them for us? Send whatever you can to our head office.

Thank you!

We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who helps us.
