Additional Information
Founded in 2005, River Kids SCIO supports disadvantaged local children and their families in the West Lothian area. Through our referral system, we supply new and pre-loved clothing, shoes, toys and household items to families who are facing financial challenges or, through circumstance, have little or no possessions.
Our small grants programme provides funding for children to participate in extra-curricular activities e.g. by purchasing sports equipment.
We provide volunteering and employment opportunities to young adults who are experiencing barriers to employment.
We also manage the West Lothian Toy Appeal, providing gifts to children on their birthday and at Christmas.
