Easter holidays - tick! Now, the thought of the Summer holidays looming can cause major anxiety for some families. How will they afford to do trips, activities and special outings? Extra childcare is sometimes needed on top of the rising cost of food shopping, and the gazillion snacks your child seems to eat in the holidays (am i right?!). Couple that with mental health struggles and you have yourself dysregulation, stress and the summer holiday dread.

NOT FOR US, THOUGH!

After our success of 2 x Winter Well-being Campaigns and our First Summer Saviour Appeal last year, we are back.

No one should have to stay inside their 4 walls throughout the summer holidays, we need to be out making those memories with our children whilst we have the opportunities.

I want to raise funds to take families on a minimum of 2 trips/activities and 1 treat for the adults.

Last year we collaborated with Craigies Farm, Kids Gone Wild, Oatridge College, Panda Ceramics, Siren Somatics, and more, to bring families well deserved, FULLY FUNDED opportunities to make magical memories with their families.

This year, i already have the first activity in the planning stages, supporting a small, local charity here in West Lothian. Think outdoors and animals!

BUT, I NEED YOU!

💪🏻 Can you use our football cards to raise money?

💪🏻 Would you like to take part in a sponsored walk? Stay tuned for dates.

💪🏻 Would your Growing Mind be interested in doing a Sponsored Silence or Sponsored phone ban to raise money?

Why support this appeal, when there’s lots going on in the world? There’s a cost of living crisis & a mental health crisis. Summer holidays are overwhelming at the best of times without worrying about how you will get through the day with your children in tow. If you or your child want to raise money, get in touch.

PLEASE NOTE: Big Heart, Little Minds CIC is a non-profit organisation; a community interest company. However, it is not a registered charity (OSCR regulated) therefor I cannot use a Just Giving page. This is why it is a Crowdfunded page. Every penny raised will go towards the activities stated above with price tags added for each activity booked, for full transparency.
