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.”
Hazel’s story
Hazel has had a tough year losing both her grandparents, transitioning from primary to secondary school and then the impact of lockdown. Funding from STV Children’s Appeal has provided support to get through these difficulties and to grow in self-confidence.
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.
