PYCP is fundraising

The children we work with live within the top 5% most deprived areas of Scotland. We support over 200 children aged 0 to 11 every week, many of whom are very vulnerable, facing a range of issues.

We help by giving a safe,supportive environment to talk through worries, develop new skills and above all have fun!

You can send a donation via SMS. Just send a text to 70070 with PYCP55 £5 to send a fiver, or PYCP55 £10 to send a tenner. 100% of the money sent will reach the charity, allowing us to continue our work with kids who need our help.
