What is it:

Have you ever seen a child’s face light up as they hear they’re going on holiday or special day out? A time to get away, do something different and enjoy a few treats. Holidays, for most of us, offer an escape to new horizons, fun and adventure. For many families, however, holidays are out of reach. A third of Glasgow’s children live in poverty - that’s 36,000 children - many of whom may never enjoy a few days at the seaside or in the country.

Children often also miss out on getting a day out - a trip to the cinema, an afternoon at bowling or a trip to the beach. Activities that help to improve self-esteem and promote better health and wellbeing.

Requirements:

Working with partner voluntary organisations, we can provide support to those organisations to allow children and families to get a day out of their choice.
