As the festive season approaches, we are reminded of the importance of giving back to our communities. This year, we are proud to support five incredible charities through our annual charity donation, each chosen by our regional offices for their outstanding work.

Blythswood Care Food Bank in Inverness
Last year, their food banks fed 6,016 people in the Highlands and 3,817 in Edinburgh, helping those facing hardship from job loss to unexpected bills. They provide at least three days of emergency food and support to those in crisis. This vital work relies on food donations or financial contributions.

Great Ormond Street Hospital
No child should spend Christmas in a hospital, but Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) works to make it magical with parties, Santa visits, and family accommodations. Donations also support ground-breaking treatments, giving more children the chance to enjoy future Christmases.

Loaves and Fishes Food Bank in East Kilbride
Loaves and Fishes started over 30 years ago, offering meals to those in need. It has grown into a food bank that now delivers over 150 food parcels weekly, supporting families, pensioners, veterans, and others facing hardship.

Mental Health Aberdeen
Mental Health Established in 1950, Mental Health Aberdeen (MHA) offers five counselling projects serving children, young people, and adults in Aberdeen City and Shire. Delivering 22,000 free sessions annually, MHA provides a confidential, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for those in need.

St Anthony’s Special School in Ireland
St Anthony’s School is a co-educational primary school for pupils with mild learning disabilities, providing a supportive and nurturing environment tailored to each child’s development and abilities.

We hope our donations will make a meaningful difference and encourage others to learn more about these amazing organisations. Together, we can help them continue their incredible work into the new year and beyond.
