Story
Last year (and the year before), we ran 5k every day in June to raise money for Circle. We are astounded and extremely grateful to everyone who donated so generously.
This year, we are repeating the challenge and don't expect anyone to donate again. However, as the event organiser, it would be poor form to not provide an opportunity for people to throw some loose change in the direction of an extremely worthwhile cause. If you can donate, it will have a direct, positive impact on young people in our community who's families are affected by poverty, imprisonment or substance abuse.
Circle's vision is for all children to be safe, happy and healthy within a stable family environment which supports them to achieve their potential.
Circle works in some of the most deprived areas of Scotland who experience the negative effects of persistent poverty, social injustice and health inequalities. To help establish nurturing environments for children in these communities Circle works with the whole family to address the various challenges and problems they are experiencing.
By supporting families to develop their parenting skills, improve their financial situation, address any issues with substance misuse and seek help with mental health issues Circle aims to give families, and the children in them, the best possible start to life that will empower them to reach their potential.
