Since its inception in 1995, FWA has donated time and money to various charities which, for a variety of reasons, are close to our hearts. In the past, our chosen charities have included – Childline Scotland, Breast Cancer, and The Scottish SPCA.

2009

FWA's charity of choice last year was once again Cash for Kids, which is a worthwhile and relevant cause. Since 1981, the Cash for Kids Trust has dispersed millions of pounds in grants, both to individual children and their families, and to those nurseries and community-based groups that serve children with special challenges.

The Cash for Kids Trust receives applications for help, either from individual families or from social work departments across 13 local authorities. The support of Cash for Kids ensures that, with the aid of your fundraising and donations, children facing financial, emotional and physical challenges are given encouragement and comfort. This can include helping families to buy Christmas presents and other treats that most of us take for granted, but which often make all the difference to disadvantaged children.

Since 1981, the Cash for Kids Trust has provided millions of pounds in grants, both to individual children and their families, and to many nurseries and community-based groups that serve children with special challenges. In 2005, 91 000 children across Scotland benefited from the generosity of supporters. Individuals, schools, workplaces and corporate supporters together raised £1.2m for this worthwhile cause.
