Host a fundraising event to help Forces Children Scotland to support over 12,500 children and young people from armed forces and veteran families across Scotland.
Help children and young people overcome unique challenges regarding mental health and wellbeing, education and learning as well as reduce isolation and loneliness, build confidence, develop new skills, and pursue positive futures.
From a bake sale, an office quiz, or a raffle to running a collection or payroll-giving, we’re here to make your fundraising experience easy and fun for all involved.
You may have something more bespoke in mind – no problem at all, we’re ready to help you achieve whatever works for you.
We can provide free fundraising t-shirts and branded materials to help create a Forces Children Scotland buzz in your workplace.
We’ll also help to promote your activity across social media and the press to maximise your corporate social responsibility commitment.
