MY CHARITIES
THE 2 Minute FOUNDATION
The 2 Minute Foundation is dedicated to environmental action, encouraging people to take two minutes out of their day to make a positive impact, such as picking up litter, fostering sustainability, and creating a cleaner planet.
I LOVE how they enable people to really incorporate positive environmental, and community-enhancing action in a really easy, and accessible way. And I especially love the impact this has on kids.
CHAS
CHAS (Children’s Hospices Across Scotland) provides unwavering care to children who may die young and their families, at every step on this hardest of journeys. They support families across Scotland in homes, hospices and hospitals, and their ambition is that no-one should face the death of their child alone.
Three children die each week in Scotland from an incurable condition, which breaks my heart.
