Balfron Beavers are planting sunflowers around the village to raise money for child refugees and their families. 

You can help by buying a sunflower seedling from us on Sat 19th March. We’ll be across the road from the co-op on Buchanan Street. All proceeds will be donated to the appeal. If you’d like to help right now simply donate via this page.

The national flower of Ukraine is the sunflower. We hope that Ukraine's sunflower becomes worldwide symbol of solidarity and peace amid Russian aggression. 

Thank you.

Conflict in Ukraine has put millions of children and their families in immediate danger. More than half a million children in Ukraine are already affected as the conflict in the east of the country enters its eighth year. Homes, schools, water supplies and hospitals are damaged. Landmines pose a major threat to children's lives. UNICEF is especially concerned for the safety and wellbeing of children who have become separated from their families. UNICEF has been working around the clock to keep children safe since this conflict began eight years ago. We are helping to make sure that child health and protection services are sustained and families have clean water and nutritious food. Please donate to help protect children in Ukraine.
