Delighted to see Erin is enjoying her new Adapted Buggy.
Erin’s family were raising funds to buy a new buggy to “allow her to continue her no holds barred, go anyplace lifestyle she so dearly loves” and we were pleased to help out with a donation.
Well done to the Valleyfield Gala Committee for turning the event around so quickly due to weather!
We were pleased to help them out with goodie bags for the kids.

We recently supported Perth Creative Community Collaborative, a constituted group based in Perth. They organise and run 3 art groups, 3 craft groups, a creative writing group and a reading group.
“Our aim is to offer free creative opportunities to people in our community to improve wellbeing and reduce isolation, welcoming those that can often be excluded from learning opportunities due to long term health issues, learning disabilities, or other barriers.”
They are supported by 5 volunteers, and work in partnership with NHS and PKC, although are not funded by them.
The Stephens Foundation recently donated to the North Queensferry Football Club and they have made this great video. Thank you! We are delighted to be able to help
We were pleased to be able to support Benarty Primary School and Nursery Department for Additional Support.
They provide a sensory room for children with complex additional needs, so they have a safe and stimulating environment that they can access when they’re feeling overwhelmed, need time out or to support their learning. Due to the children’s additional needs, sensory spaces can have a huge impact on a child’s ability to socialise, communicate and build on their academicprogress. Sensory spaces can help children to feel calm, happy, engaged and many other emotions.
The Stephens Foundation gave a grant to allow the school to buy a light source for the sensory room.

We are absolutely thrilled that the Babcock Rosyth Royal
Dockyard team very kindly chose to support the
Stephens Foundation as part of the Scottish APM Challenge.
They hosted a Crazy Golf day for staff which was
a huge success, with a fantastic sum of money raised. As well as donating to
our Foundation, we are so pleased the team also chose to support Dunfermline Foodbank
with their fundraising efforts.
To everyone involved in organising and taking
part in the day, thank you so much for supporting us. Your generosity will be
directly put back into the local community.
Syngenta Cerebral Palsy FC are the only football team in Scotland that cater for children with Cerebral Palsy. This means that if they want to play competitive matches, they need to travel to England or Ireland. Children travel from all over Scotland to play for the team! The club’s aim is to make sure that these kids are allowed the same opportunities to enjoy and compete in their favourite sport as all other kids. We helped fund their travel to Dublin and are delighted to see the day was greatly enjoyed by all. Well done to the team for a successful trip.
We recently purchased a Trapeze for Illuminate School of Dance so that the kids can develop their passion and talents in their dance classes. We love seeing kids getting involved in all sorts of activities and we are pleased to be able to support local sports clubs such as this.
