⭐ NFU Mutual Borders Agency Giving Fund ⭐

Another one of our chosen charity's this year was Borders Children's Charity . You can read how our donation help will the foundation.

Much of NFU Mutual Borders funding will go towards providing basic needs such as bed and bedding, warm clothing and one - off special needs, as well enabling children to attend their school activities and residential camp so they're not excluded. We regularly fund activities such as outing, swimming or music lessons, and experience with horses that may give the child a break from a chaotic environment while helping build self - esteem. Last year over 300 local children were provided with support from the charity.

Borders Children's Charity mission is to meet children's basic needs and to provide relief for those living in property across the Scottish Borders.
