2022 has been another year of challenge and change resulting in financial difficulty and emotional turmoil for children, young people and families due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. However, with your support, PEEK has been able to be there at every turn to do all we can to support our families and communities.
In partnership with Hub West Scotland and Speirs Gumley, PEEK’s 2022 Winter Warmer Appeal has resulted in great success providing 1225 jackets and 700 wellies for children and young people in Glasgow.
