HAVE YOU EVER PANICKED BECAUSE YOU HAVE LOST YOUR CHILD WHILE SHOPPING IN TOWN? KEEP CHILDREN SAFE CAMPAIGN LAUNCH....

Sometimes, we are so enthusiastic about a grant application that we turn a grant into a project and partner with the charity that has turned to us for help. It was just so with Childwatch, the charity that is launching a campaign in partnership with FFFC to keep children safe while shopping in town centres. The campaign will start in Perth, fan out to many other areas in Scotland and then….who knows where….wherever it is important to keep children safe.

A MESSAGE FROM FUND PATRON,SIR MICHAEL CAINE, CBE

"It has now been sixteen years since I became a patron of The Foresters' Fund for Children, and in that time I have seen many changes, not least the increase in the number of children helped by the Fund. I am proud that the Foresters' Fund for Children concentrates most of its efforts on the small, primarily local charities throughout the UK that do important work with abused, vulnerable and disabled babies and children.

LETTERS, WE GET LETTERS, WE GET LOTS AND LOTS OF LETTERS…..

If you really want to know the impact a grant from FFFC can have on small charities that do big jobs in their local communities, why not have a look at just a few of the many letters of thanks we have received. One of these charities had tried everywhere for funding and been turned down. It was on the brink of closure before The Fund stepped in.

The Fund has been able to increase support for these organisations due solely to the increase in sponsorship it has received. Whether it is a piece of vital medical equipment for the disabled or an adventure holiday to build self-respect and confidence, the Fund has been there for these children."

BY SUPPORTING THE FFFC, YOU ARE HELPING SMALL CHILDREN'S CHARITIES AND ORGANISATIONS ACROSS TO COUNTRY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDED VITAL WORK AND SERVICES....PERHAPS, RIGHT IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD.

CHILDREN'S HOSPICE IN SCOTLAND  BENEFITS FROM FUND GRANT

The teenage den at the children's hospice Robin House in Balloch was delighted to receive a donation from The Forester's Fund for Children (FFFC) to buy two state-of-the art electronic desks   to help disabled teenagers play computer games, do their home work or read.

More than 70 per cent of young people who use CHAS's (Children's Hospice Association Scotland) services: Robin House, Rachel House in Kinross and CHAS at Home are aged thirteen or over and their needs are very different from young children.

Many have disabilities which make it difficult or uncomfortable for them to use standard desks.   The two new hydraulic desks are height adjustable so that young people can alter them to suit their individual needs.
