It is estimated that over 30% of children in Dundee are living in poverty. For that reason Claverhouse Rotary Trust initiated its "4 Dundee's Primary Kids campaign. In the past year, with the help of a number of local charitable trusts, we have made donations of £18,000, spread over 10 schools. Head teachers greatly value this support and here are some of their comments:

Funds could be used immediately and directed to areas of need.

It is important for recipient children to feel included and belonging.

The school larder is now an essential requirement.

Often parents are too proud to ask for help.

Valuable teaching time is lost through providing adequate welfare for needy pupils before lessons can begin.
