Film & Campaign Description

Too many children are going without this winter. It’s a constant worry for families where the next meal is coming from, and if they can heat their home.

This winter sees the highest cost of living ever, and children are paying the price.

Across Scotland, children are going without the basics - things most of us take for granted - and the need has never been greater.

Aberlour’s Urgent Assistance Fund is a lifeline. Emergency cash grants are given to struggling families to access food and clothing for their children and to heat and light their homes.

The fund it running dangerously low and without help will run out, when it's needed most.

Almost half of the families who apply to Aberlour’s emergency fund don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
More than 50% of the families who apply need clothing for their children.
20% of the families who apply don’t have a bed for their children.

Every penny (100%) of cash donations made to the Urgent Assistance Fund will go straight to the families who are most in need.
