Why your donation matters and how it helps children living in poverty
Scotland’s vulnerable children and young people need extra support now more than ever. As the cost-of-living crisis deepens, more children and their families are being pushed into deeper poverty.
Families who were already struggling now find themselves unable to afford food and basic essentials, meanwhile their mental health is deteriorating rapidly.
Your donation will support communities directly, right here in Scotland. With your support, we can help even more children and families by providing vital practical help, like food and warm clothing. These essentials may be taken for granted by many of us, but the harsh reality is that they’re not freely available to far too many children in Scotland.
We also create opportunities for training and employability to help secure promising futures for the young people we work with, while much of our funding also goes towards enabling social and emotional support for them – which, after the events of recent years, has never been more crucial.
Every single penny raised by the STV Children’s Appeal stays in Scotland and 100% of donations are spent on the children who need it most, as all overheads are met by STV plc.
