We’ve given towards important causes this month, recognising that Christmas is a time when communities need even more care and kindness.
As a charity, we understand ongoing support is essential throughout the year. However, it’s at this point specifically when inequalities and vulnerabilities can often be felt more deeply. Financial pressures, loneliness, health issues and other struggles affect people at all times, but when everyone seems to be celebrating, it can create a stark contrast for those experiencing difficulties.
Kibble’s mission is to transform lives, families and communities. As we reflect on the past year, we take pride in the accomplishments of young people, the dedication of our staff team and the difference made by our organisation. With these achievements in mind, we want to close the year doing all we can to uplift and empower people to face 2026 with hope and enthusiasm.
Motivated to help others far and wide in a real and lasting way, Kibble donated £15,000 to Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice. With a philosophy of adding life to days, the free-of-charge end-of-life care provides families with much-needed emotional and practical support. We felt privileged to be able to extend our support and help the hospice make a real impact in the communities spanning across South Glasgow and East Renfrewshire.
Furthermore, one of Kibble’s key priorities is to help as many young people as possible. Driven by this purpose, we were inspired to support a like-minded children’s charity and gift £5,000 to Cash for Kids Mission Christmas, supporting young people in Glasgow the West.
Our aim is to give young people a chance at life, and similarly, Cash for Kids want to protect childhoods too. Mission Christmas is their fundraising campaign that focuses on ensuring no child worries that Santa won’t come. Kibble fully believes in helping every child feel the wonder and excitement of Santa Claus, knowing that these winter memories can be long-lasting and feels humbled to support Mission Christmas.
The goodwill and joy of helping others has been clear to see across the entirety of Kibble. All across our locations, there are Christmas trees proudly standing tall, reminding us that the festive season is a time to be mindful of those around us. Staff joined a toy drive organised by Kids in Mind who provide wellbeing and mental health support to children that have escaped serious domestic violence. Young people of Kibble fundraised for Darkwood Crew, a local group dedicated to helping the area of Ferguslie flourish. Christmas Fayres were organised to raise funds for important charities and young people took part in a Santa Dash to give back.
Kibble has also been on the receiving end of thoughtfulness. Some organisations have chosen to add an extra surprise to the young people Kibble supports, including Specsavers in Paisley, who kindly contributed Christmas gifts.
Overall, Kibble exists to care and support others every day, but the spirit of Christmas motivates us to go further, encouraging us to broaden our reach and make an even greater impact.
