The festive season is upon us and this year it is just that little bit harder for everyone.

But there are those around us that have it harder than most. This is our opportunity to give back. Over the last few years we have run some fantastic Christmas appeals, we hope this year will be no different. Equator will be matching each and every donation £ for £!

This year we are supporting Glasgow Spirit of Christmas and Faith in Community.

Glasgow Spirit of Christmas was founded in 2014 and work with over 100 charities in and around Glasgow trying to make sure no child goes without a gift this Christmas.

Faith in Community have a vision that all of Scotland's communities can be in a place of love, welcome, justice and sharing, where everyone can live their life to the full. They work with a variety of different faith groups to tackle poverty and try to build movements for change led by people and groups who are experiencing poverty.

We hope you will dig as deep as you are able, encourage your friends and family to get involved and share all over social media.

Thanks for your support and have a great Christmas!
