We have a kinship caravan in beautiful tranquil Wemyss Bay Scotland . We aim to save this from being sold due to lack of funding

We are trying to save and refurbish this much much needed and used lifeline for kinship carers in West Dunbartonshire and others under emergency need . Our van has been running since 2015 and after a 3 years initial funding we’ve had to self fund for many years . This year due to high rise in kinship placements and need we provided an astounding 61 breaks to carers in need of rest bite . After the busiest year we not only need to fund due to high cost of living electricity , gas , and sadly cleaning being privatised also can hanky needing a rerub and freshen up due to extensive use this year . . Wd hope to raise enough to sustain this for atkeast the next two years to give us some continuance without stress of finding money . We are 200% voluntary of 13 years and pride ourselves on creating new hubs on a very small service budget that has tripled the support we give . Carers in cost of living especially carers being assessed with no payment are struggling and a break is last in the list before shopping and heating . We know everyone is affected by this but hope people will donate a little if they have it . Thank you
