Who are the Charities?
Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity has supported children and families across Scotland since 2001, helping to enhance care at Glasgow’s children’s hospital. Following the move from Yorkhill to the Royal Hospital for Children in 2015, the charity has continued its mission of providing life-changing support, investing over £30 million to improve the hospital experience for young patients and their families.
Saving and Rehoming Strays is a Scottish charity dedicated to rescuing and rehoming dogs from the UK and Europe, particularly Romania. Run mainly by volunteers, the charity provides kennel-free care to help dogs socialise and thrive while they wait for their forever homes. Relying on donations and supporter funding, they continue to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need.
