Cash for Kids

Each April, Cash for Kids, the Northsound Radio listeners charity hands out tens of thousands of pounds in grants to groups, organisations and projects which benefit disabled and disadvantaged children within the Northsound transmission area. By the time Run Balmoral comes round, the Cash for Kids coffers will be very, very empty. Please help to get our fundraising year off to a flying start by asking your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you for Run Balmoral. For each runner, there are probably dozens of people completely in awe of what you are doing. Let them be part of your day by asking them to sponsor you and share in your achievement. This is the first time Cash for Kids has been chosen as Run Balmoral’s nominated charity and both the organisers and the charity trustees hope this will be a record breaking year for the event in terms of charity contributions. Cash for Kids is Northsound Radio’s listener charity. Over the years CFK money has gone to:

• Help finance after school paygroups and summer play schemes.
• Family centres, sports and music groups and respite care projects.
• It has helped transform police boxes into youth cafes and to run healthy tuck shops.
• It has paid for drugs awareness plays and it has stocked toy libraries.

Cash for Kids helps some of the area’s large, well-established charities as well as many small projects which would otherwise slip through the funding net. Beneficiaries change from year to year – some ask for a one-off grant and don’t apply again. There’s more information about Cash for Kids at www.cashforkidsnorthsound.co.uk or call Aberdeen 337010. We’re in the process of setting up a Just Giving page so keep checking in for when it goes live and encourage your sponsors to leave messages – and cash!
