How you can help
Our vision
At River Kids, we believe that no child should go without.
That’s why we enable positive change for disadvantaged children and their families by providing them with essential goods, clothing and toys, access to financial support through small grants and help with finding employment through volunteering and work placements.
Our dedicated team members and volunteers work closely with support and social care services to raise standards of living, alleviate stress and provide opportunities for the young people of West Lothian to thrive.

What our community says
Sharron - Women’s Aid
I cannot praise enough the support River Kids provides my clients. Over the past 12 months I have accessed clothing, furniture, baby goods and toys for the vulnerable group I work with. The items have always been well received and in excellent condition. Nothing is too much for the staff and they will always go above and beyond to provide much needed items for people.
Jerri - Families Together
Just a wee note to thank River Kids for helping support a family I work with. The family had limited toys and River Kids have been great in helping provide some. From the quick response to the enquiry, to sorting bundles of toys for the various ages of the children, to offering additional resources like storage units. All of this has been very much appreciated from both me and the family.
Margaret - Families Together
I would always recommend an email or telephone call to River Kids when looking for any items whether this is toys, children’s clothes, or outdoor and household goods. The families I work with have always been appreciative of the quality and service they’ve been given when sourcing items. The staff are helpful and will always do their best to provide whatever you are looking for.
