5 Befriend a Child Aberdeen Befriend a Child Aberdeen is a one-to-one befriending scheme, where children are matched with a volunteer befriender who takes the child to enjoy fun activities that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience due to their family and home circumstances. Thanks to the STV Children s Appeal the children now have the opportunity of taking part in outings and activities that were unavailable to them. This enables the children to go back into school on a Monday morning and talk about what they have done with their befriender at a weekend. They then feel included, they are accepted and have better interaction with their peers which is a great boost to their self-confidence and self-esteem. Jean Gordon Befriending Development Manager

9 Glasgow Children s Hospital Charity The Family Support Project will provide immediate financial and emotional relief to families who struggle to cope with the pressures of caring for their ill children. The project will also provide families with the tools and skills they need to support themselves in the long term, to prevent poverty cycles recurring. Having a child in hospital can be one of the most frightening and stressful experiences for any parent or carer, without having the added worry of how you will cope financially. This project will provide support, reassurance and comfort to many of Scotland s most vulnerable families, listening to their needs and helping them to find a suitable path forward. - Shona Cardle, Chief Executive, Glasgow Children s Hospital Charity
