Story
What an incredible gesture from Piers Morgan to personally donate £15,000 to Scotty's Little Soldiers after taking part in the Christmas edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
At Scotty's we provide support to children & young people who have lost a parent who served in the British Armed Forces. Our help for bereaved military children is delivered through 4 Family Programmes, SMILES (fun and community), SUPPORT (health and well-being), STRIDES (education & development) & SPRINGBOARD (19-25 year olds).
On average it will cost us around £1,200 to provide one young person with access to our 4 Family Programmes during 2021*.
The average Millionaire prize win is £50,000 which would provide a years worth of support for 41 bereaved children! Can you help Piers and Scottys support the children of our heroes?
HOW EACH PRIZE LEVEL COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO OUR WORK:
£100 > Would provide 5 bereaved children with a thinking of you token on the anniversary of their parents death.
