Support a child

There are three main ways you can support children and families in West Lothian.

Ways to help

River Kids is dedicated to supporting children and families across West Lothian who are facing everyday challenges that impact their wellbeing and opportunities. From access to essential clothing and safe sleeping arrangements to opportunities for inclusion and development, our campaigns are designed to meet real needs within our community.

There are many ways you can support this work. By donating, you can help provide essential clothing packs, safe and comfortable beds, and access to inclusive projects that allow children to participate and thrive. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us reach more children in need and make a lasting difference in their lives.

West Lothian Wardrobe

1 in 8 children experience material deprivation throughout West Lothian. These children do not have access to clean and weather appropriate clothing preventing them from participating and thriving.

This year River Kids will provide over 500 children with a pack containing a weeks’ worth of clothing.

Bed for a head

On average there is a child in each classroom throughout West Lothian that sleeps on a floor each night. By donating you can provide a safe night’s sleep through the provision of a bed to these children.

Grant me access

River Kids deliver projects throughout the year enabling thousands of children the opportunity to participate with their peers. Exclusion from extracurricular limits more than play; it stifles education, personal development and the sense of belonging every young person deserves.
