This festive season, we’d like to make sure children in Edinburgh have the gift of warmth all winter.
Our Friday Youth Club supports 40 young people aged eight to 14, who—with your £5 or £10 donation—can receive a cosy blanket, a chocolate selection box, and a sense of charitable kindness to keep them warm through the chilly months ahead.
Visit our JustGiving page to make a donation 
Any amount is welcome and appreciated. We’re aiming to raise at least £500 before Christmas.
Remember to spread the word about this campaign by using the hashtag #BuyABlanket.
UPDATE (17 December): We’ve reached our target—thanks, in very large part, to Carol and Darren Scoon, who donated a whopping £300 in memory of the late Ian, ‘a son of Broomhouse and a supporter of local charities’.
Thanks so much to everyone who contributed. The Youth Club members will be warm and full of chocolate this holiday.
UPDATE (4 December): We are more than a third of the way to our target!
Thanks so much to everyone who has already donated.
And thank you, in advance, to anyone considering making a contribution. Every penny counts.
Last year, we were able to provide loads of young people a super soft blanket and tasty-looking selection box—wrapped with love and care by our Youth & Families team.
