Who We Help
Thanks to donations to the STV Children's Appeal, we're able to support outstanding projects in all 32 local authority areas of Scotland to help children, young people and their families living in poverty and difficult circumstances.
Robyn and Shannon
From activities to keep children learning at home, to help with bills and accessing college, coping with parenthood during the pandemic has been made easier thanks to funding from STV Children’s Appeal.
Kacie and Sophie's stories
Being a young carer can be tough never mind having to deal with a pandemic and be socially distant from your support group. Kacie and Sophie share their stories and how they’ve been helped.
John's story
“I couldn’t have done it without them. It’s taken the stress out of Christmas and made it really special for Calum.”
Sarah's story
“It’s embarrassing have to ask for help. That word, poverty – there’s so much stigma around it… You want to make sure your kids have toys and their dinner.”
Ross' story
Autistic and non-verbal, Ross loves to run and play on his bike. But he’s struggled to understand what lockdown is and why his usual activities have had to be cancelled. Thanks to funding from STV Children’s Appeal, Ross and mum Carol have been thrown a lifeline.
