Bringing big smiles to little faces

'Our charity recognised those local businesses and organisations that have offered such dedicated and willing support in our inaugural year without whose support we would not have provided Santa trips for 200 children nor holidays for 38 children and 22 parents as well as funding for holidays for over 100 children in summer 2015.

Thank you once again for the opportunity

Written by

Just a little email to let you know that the families that were away to Hunters Quay on 13 October have expressed how much they enjoyed their time away stating that they had never seen the children so happy. Thank you once again for the opportunity to be involved in such a worthwhile cause, it is truly fantastic.
- K. A. Childrens Nursery, Greenock, 23 October 2014
