Creation Station make us their Charity of Choice...


We are delighted to announce that The Creation Station's Scottish franchises have named us their charity of choice. They've already given us some fantastic donations towards our Christmas Appeal which will be invaluable to our families this year.

We'll keep you updated with activities or events that we'll be working on throughout the year. thanks You Creation Station for all your support!


Find out more about The Creation Station at www.creationstation.co.uk.

We are still appealing to anyone who can spare some goods for our Christmas Appeal. Can you spare any non perishable food items or maybe you can arrange a collection amongst your work colleagues? 

If you or someone you know can help then please contact us 0141 550 5770 or info@withkids.org.uk

The type of items that go a long way in making a difference are:
  • Non perishable food items- to help with winter parcels
  • Stocking fillers- for the little extras on Christmas day that make a difference
  • Party food- to help make our Christmas Party the best yet
  • Wrapping paper/ sellotape/ gift tags- the little things that go a long way
  • Gifts for adults (toiletries, perfume, make up) - Parents often go without so a little something will be hugely appreciated.
Donations of any kind are always greatly appreciated. We also take monetary donations which also goes a long way to help help us provide our services at With Kids.

Thank You for helping us with our Christmas Appeal...


We would like to say a massive Thank You to some very kind people/organisations who have helped us with donations to our Christmas Appeal this year.

St James’ Church of Scotland in Paisley have organised a toy collection for us. Thank you to everyone there who were involved and to those who have donated. We are so grateful for this, as the toys collected will help make the kids at With Kids happy at Christmas and ensure that they don't go without at this time of year.

We would also like to thank Hazel Wynn and all the staff at Hays Recruitment, who are collecting non perishable foods for our food parcels at Christmas. This is a vital part of our Christmas Appeal as the food helps those who are finding things a bit tight at Christmas time and the parcels can help ease the struggle.

The High School of Glasgow have also been very kind to arrange a collection of items that will help make Christmas that little bit easier. Thank You Lorna Lambie for arranging this.

Christmas Appeal 2011


We know the winter mornings have well and truly arrived and Christmas is just around the corner! As always we aim to provide struggling families with presents, food and credit for utility bills in order to make things a little easier at a time where everyone finds it tight to make ends meet.

We will also be holding our annual Christmas party on 23rd December at Calton Fire Station for around 200 children and their families. We depend on your help and donations to make this possible. There's still time to fundraise or even collect those unwanted tins and packets at the back of the cupboard. With your help and support no family will go without this Christmas time.

If you or someone you know can assist then please contact us 0141 550 5770 or info@withkids.org.uk

The type of items that go a long way in making a difference are:
  • Non perishable food items- to help with winter hampers
  • Stocking fillers- for the little extras on Christmas day that make a difference
  • Party food- to help make our Christmas Party the best yet
  • Wrapping paper/ sellotape/ gift tags- the little things that go a long way
