Comedian Kevin Bridges has made a generous festive donation of £20k to Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) who run Rachel House in Kinross.
CHAS this week thanked the Clydebank comic and his wife Kerry for making the donation to the charity in the run up to Christmas.
The charity recently launched their Christmas Appeal which aims to raise vital funds to help give the gift of time and precious memories to families of dying children.
Kevin said: “As parents ourselves now, the hearts of my wife and I go out more than ever to everyone at Robin House, Rachel House and all the children and families supported by CHAS services across Scotland.”
CHAS CEO Rami Okasha said: “Kevin has visited our children’s hospice, Robin House at Balloch several times over the years and his ongoing support is hugely appreciated.
“Each week in Scotland three children die from an incurable condition and CHAS can only be there for families with the support of kind donations like this.
“No one should have to face the death of a child alone and we provide unwavering care to children who may die young and their families, at every step on this hardest of journeys.
“Fundraising support makes a huge difference to children and families helping us to reach every family across Scotland who needs our care.”
Kevin also made personal donations to six other charities – West Dunbartonshire Community Foodshare, the youth charity Y Sort It, Bags Full of Love West Dunbartonshire, Improving Lives, Launch Foods and DRC Youth Project in Glasgow.
