Maple Leaf Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Over the years, JKB members have generously donated to dozens of Scottish charities. The total amount of JKB money donated to outside charities is in excess of £80,000. Just a few of the charities who have benefited from JKB's donations are SAMH, Alzheimers Scotland, The Brain Tumour Charity, Marie Curie, SiMBA, Spina Bifida Scotland, Rock Trust Homeless Mission, St Columba's Hospice, CCLASP, and the Scottish SPCA. We are in a position to make a few more donations again. As in the past, we are hoping to donate to charities that are near and dear to our members. If you are a Paid Member, and have a favourite charity, post the charity name on here and we'll see what we can do. Please provide a link to the charity so that we can ensure the money goes to the right cause. We might not be able to help everyone, but we'll do the best we can. Once again, thank you to all our Paid Members for their generosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi, can I be first up and suggerst/request a donation to the Gorgie Dalry Stenhouse Church /Bethany Diadem project. For folk that haven't heard of them, they provide a hot evening meal, a bed and access to various support services for up to 75 homeless people every night. They're currently looking to refurbish their kitchen so any donation would be very welcome.

I think we're both suggesting the same project, I'm not sure of who is responsible for what but it seems that (at what is probably a far too simplistic level) the churches provide the building and facilities and Bethany provide the staff/support. The Diadem project meas that there is one base with better facilities rather than different halls providing accommodation on different nights.

Lovecraft Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 https://www.citizensadviceedinburgh.org.uk/donations https://www.citizensadviceedinburgh.org.uk/ Citizens Advice Edinburgh. Each CAB is an individual charity and the majority of people think they are funded by the government. They aren't. Citizens Advice Edinburgh has a bureau in Gorgie and are open to anyone looking for free advice on practically anything. Without donations, they wouldn't be able to provide this completely free service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
