Story

Thank you for choosing to donate to our 2026 charity partner - Cash for Kids! Together, we can make a huge difference to the lives of disadvantaged children living in Glasgow and the West who are affected by poverty, neglect, illness, or additional needs.

In the West of Scotland, 1 in 4 children are living in poverty, rising to 1 in 2 within the most deprived areas of Glasgow, Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. Every donation made to Cash for Kids helps to support these children - providing essential items, opportunities, and support to help them thrive.

What makes Cash for Kids so special is that every penny raised local stays local. All funds raised go directly back into our communities, reaching the children who need it most.

One of the biggest issues Cash for Kids tackles is holiday hunger. For so many families, school holidays don’t bring excitement – they bring extra worry. Without the safety net of free school meals, too many children right here in Glasgow are going without enough to eat, missing not only the comfort of a full stomach, but also the safety and support that school brings.

With our support, Cash for Kids can step in where it’s needed most, putting food on the table, creating opportunities, and making sure that every child has the care and security they deserve.
