Scottish Friendly
Having first supported us in December 2022 during our yearly Secret Santa campaign, Scottish Friendly and Action for Children launched our official strategic partnership in late 2023.
Thanks to the support of Scottish Friendly, Action for Children have been able to deliver the Scottish Friendly Wellbeing Programme.
This programme funds two Wellbeing Practitioners whose remit is specifically to deliver mental health and wellbeing sessions to secondary school pupils in select schools across Glasgow.
During our first year of partnership, our wellbeing practitioners were able to support 608 school pupils over the course of the academic year, from August 2023 to August 2024.
Our team have been supporting young people via the Blues Programme, Bouncing Back session and Direct Support.
Since officially entering into partnership, we have seen so many Scottish Friendly colleagues take on a range of epic challenges in support of Action for Children.
Some have even generously donated their time by helping to volunteer at our services and at a number of our special events. Here are some of the amazing things colleagues across Scottish Friendly have achieved:
- Raising £12,740 at Action for Chidren’s annual flagship fundraiser, Boycott Your Bed in October 2024
- Taking on the mighty Three Peaks Challenge in 2023, which raised a phenomenal £14,000
- Supporting the painting and redecorating efforts at Action for Children’s Renfrewshire Short Breaks Service.
- Organising a dedicated Wellbeing Week in their Glasgow office.
