Give hope a home
One donation - twice the impact
Thanks to generous match donors including the Big Give, Reed Foundation, Aspect Communications, Rock Rose and other companies and individuals, your donation can go twice as far this winter helping people who face crisis to rebuilding hope for the future.
How does it work?
For every amount donated, our partners match it so that we get twice as much, it’s as simple as that.
How can I make a difference?
Sara loves her daughter unconditionally. She wraps her in cosy jumpers and blankets, and makes a warm soup for tea. Her daughter has a bad cough, so she puts her to bed, tucking her in with a hot water bottle and a kiss.
In the darkness, Sara breaks down. She feels like a failure as a mother. She’s tried so hard to make her budget work, stretching every penny that she can. But it’s just not enough, and dark thoughts of ending things keep her awake.
So Sara goes hungry, drinking water to feel fuller. Their flat is cold as she can’t afford heating, but it’s making her daughter’s asthma worse as mould snakes up the walls. She is exhausted with worry that never goes away.
Sara was struggling.

The difference you make
When Sara came to Aberdeen Cyrenians, she was welcomed with a hot cup of tea and a bright smile. A beacon of warmth in her cold harsh reality. As she poured out her heart, she felt the relief of no longer being alone.
She received food to top up her budget, vouchers for heating, and cleaning products to tackle the mould. Most importantly, she was able to check the financial help she is entitled to, and arrange a care inspection to assess her living conditions and make her flat more habitable.
Sara’s hope for a better future has been rekindled. Although her costs are still very tight, they’re more manageable, and she no longer struggles alone.
But best of all, now that her daughter can breathe easier, so can Sara.
