Support a child in north-east Scotland
In north-east Scotland, families with disabled children are faced with incredibly difficult decisions, forced to choose between covering basic bills and essentials or providing the specialist equipment and therapies their loved ones urgently need for a quality of life we all deserve.
Gathimba Edwards Foundation (GEF) supports disabled children and their families in north-east Scotland by providing specialist equipment, access to therapies, signposting to relevant services, and improving accessibility at home and in the community. We want to give disabled children an opportunity to reach their full potential and shine. Sometimes, this support is indirect, helping to ease the challenges faced by families caring for a disabled child and allow them to focus on providing the best care and support possible for their child

If you would like to support our work in north-east Scotland you can donate here. Please quote 'Scotland' as your reference and your donation will go directly towards an essential piece of equipment, specialist therapy or support that will improve the quality of life for a disabled child and their family.
A key decision in supporting charity is how the funds will be used. Larger charities have large overheads and often a donation is a drop in the ocean. What we love about GEF is the ability to know almost exactly what a donation is being used for – individual families and children with needs that stretch far beyond the norm.
Raising a family is difficult – even with favourable conditions. I cannot imagine what life is like when the needs are so acute, and all extra resource and attention from the parents are already fully used, but the state just isn’t there to plug the gap. I’m so glad we have abundance to share to make other lives better in our local community!
