The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileThe annual BIG Glasgow Christmas Appeal is organised by Glasgow the Caring City Charity SC029090.
Our team of volunteers deliver critical services to families living in poverty across the city. COVID-19 has had a devastating affect on the families we work with, and there is particular concern for the welfare of young people age 13-19.
Young people, particularly teenagers, are facing a multitude of issues brought on by Covid-19. Lockdown has presented a wide range of isolation, mental & physical health; made even more complex by the inability to access coordinated support which many teenagers depend on for help.
Throughout the year, our team are facilitating programmes to offer additional support including mentoring, employability and mental health supportbut this Christmas, more than ever, we need you.
For some young people in Glasgow, Christmas is just another day. Its time for change.
This age group is often over-looked by popular toy appeals, and in 2020 we want to ensure every young person age 13-19 has a Christmas Gift. Partnering with Glasgow City Councils Social Work Services and Schools across the city, we will be discreetly delivering gifts to the homes of the most disadvantaged young people.
You can make a difference.
100% of the money raised goes directly to those who need it most with Christmas Gifts and essentials for Christmas Day.
Please help us spread some joy this Christmas.
