Bungee jump & swing at Killicrankie · 3 August 2024

Dr Bell’s Family Centre has been supporting families in Leith since 2006. By offering a welcoming, safe place where families with young children can get support, advice and encouragement, we help remove barriers for families who already face multiple socio-economic challenges. Dr Bell’s Family Centre serves parents and children living in an area among the highest levels of deprivation in Scotland and for whom generational poverty and disadvantage has resulted in low attainment, poor health, mental health issues, as well as feelings of stigma and isolation.

Story

14 excited (and a little bit crazy) people are going to challenge themselves to jump from the 132 ft Killiecrankie Bridge. Everyone will be doing a bungee, the Highland swing or both!

But why? The team have noticed a rapidly increasing need for support around food poverty over the last 12 months. Our families have access to a free pantry which offers food and toiletries alongside baby items (nappies, wipes etc) and cleaning products. The cost of living crisis continues to hit people hard and we want to do all we can to ensure our families have adequate supports to see them through these difficult times. We are currently spending approximately £400 a month to restock our shelves and it's still not enough. With our funds quickly dwindling we would hate to not have this invaluable resource to help families in their time of need.

Thats where you come in. We need your help! Every penny counts. Every penny will go directly toward supporting families in Leith with young children.

Please help us and donate whatever you can.

A massive thank you goes out to everyone who has come forward to take part in this challenge.
