Many low-income families struggle to provide meals during the school holidays. This is especially prevalent in Dundee City where over 1/3 of children are living in poverty. We support projects that are in areas of high multiple deprivation by reaching the most vulnerable children and providing them with a nutritious meal, thus reducing pressure on parents to provide food and boost community cohesion. Dundee Bairns’ was formed in 2016 by David Dorward, former Chief Executive of Dundee City Council. In October 2015 while attending the annual Rank Foundation Conference, David heard Lindsay Graham speak about her research into holiday hunger while being a Winston Church Fellow. Holiday hunger is a symptom of child poverty and in Dundee over 8000 children live below the poverty line. David wanted to ensure that Dundee children would be well nourished and ready to learn. Our core commitment is to reduce the effects of poverty for children in Dundee by trying to tackle the issue of “Holiday Hunger” during the 10 weeks of the school holidays. We support community projects around Dundee that provide activity clubs for children by supplying free lunches/ breakfasts to the clubs, ensuring that the children will receive nutritious and healthy meals. With the help of many volunteers, Tay Cuisine, schools, holiday projects and charitable funding, Dundee Bairns has delivered over 100,000 meals to children in the City of Dundee in just over 2 years.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the end of February I have accepted a challenge from Dundee Stars Ice Hockey Club to get on the ice, in goalie gear, and face 50 shots from the team. I haven't been on the ice properly in 30 years!!

I will risk life and limb facing shots anywhere between 80 and 100 miles per hour and both myself and Dundee Stars are doing this to back Dundee Bairns, an outstanding charity helping the most needy in our city.

I'm hoping many of you will back this attempt to injure me by giving a few pounds if you can manage, or to sponsor me directly for each puck I manage to keep out the net. Your support would be massively appreciated by all.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
