Winter Warmer Pack 2021
Perth, Perth and Kinross, United Kingdom
Aim: Providing children in Perthshire with a range of winter clothing to keep them cosy and confident this winter. #WarmWeans2021
Hello!
Do you believe every child should be able to feel warm and dry throughout winter and have a fantastic festive season? Do you think children should be able to play outside no matter the weather, be able to arrive at school dry, and be cosy at home? If so can you spare £5 towards a Winter Warmer Pack for a child in need this Christmas?
(psst if 100 people donate £5 we will have reached our target! Small donations make mighty impacts!)
Our Winter Warmer Pack offers
- a waterproof jacket
- rain or snow suits (for under 5s)
- hat, scarf and gloves
- wellies
- slippers
- dressing gown
- pyjamas or a onesie
- socks
- slippers
During the application process families can personalise their packs so what we offer comes in colours or with characters the young person will feel special wearing. We also endeavour to ensure we meet any sensory requirements for our applicants.
This winter families need more support than ever. With 1 in 4 children already living in poverty in Perthshire and cuts to Universal Credits, increase in fuel and food costs, and the end to the furlough scheme more children will be pushed below the breadline. We want to be part of the support network to empower families to have the standard of life they deserve.
We’ve already received over 200 applications in the first week of launching all of our Winter Projects.We accept referrals from
Perth and Kinross Foodbank
Citizens Advice Bureau
All PKAVS services,
Schools and Education groups across Perthshire, and many more partner services.
Families can also self refer to ensure we can reach as many young people in need as possible.
