CASH FOR KIDS APPEAL: Help raise money for Glasgow families affected by coronavirus
All donations go a long way to help those who will feel the impact the most from the pandemic.
Clyde 1's charity Cash For Kids needs your help to support some of Glasgow's most vulnerable families through the coronavirus outbreak.
Many who were already on the brink of poverty may now be facing unemployment, a reduction of working hours or the stress of their child no longer having access to free school meals.
The Cash for Kids Appeal fund will enable us to provide grants to families with children, helping them with the basic essentials such as food and heating.
School teachers, health professionals, social workers and small charitable groups will also be able to apply for funds on behalf of the families they support.
Sharon Kelly, project co-ordinator for Royston Youth Action which benefits from Cash For Kids money, said: "Times are really difficult just now - people are starting to panic because they're living from week to week and on a tight budget and they can't get the essentials that they would usually get.
"There's a massive pressure on a lot of groups like ourselves because the supplies are just not there to buy.
"We're trying our best to get food packs and food parcels together - we're having to buy more expensive brands.
"We're struggling to actually find everything that we could put in a parcel that would do a family for a few days or a week so it's really quite stressful for smaller charities and organisations.
"The Clyde 1 Cash For Kids Appeal could make a massive difference to organisations and groups like ourselves because it'll give us the funding to be able to go out and react straight away.
"We can go and buy food and we can make up parcels, we can distribute funds for people that are worried about fuel poverty."
Cash For Kids is asking for your donations and 100% of what is donated will go towards helping the families and children who need it the most.
Donations can made by text or online (via our websites or on Facebook).
