Supporting local charities 

 

Mission Christmas 

Stagecoach have teamed up to support Mission Christmas, the annual Cash for Kids appeal that provides gifts for children living in challenging circumstances across Scotland.
Mission Christmas helps thousands of disadvantaged children who might otherwise wake up on Christmas morning without a present to open.
A Stagecoach donation box is now available at the Aberdeen bus station travel shop for new, unwrapped gifts, which will be collected by Mission Christmas volunteers on 18th December. Supporters can also donate gifts or make a cash contribution online via the Mission Christmas website!

 

Night Before Christmas

Stagecoach West Scotland are working in partnership with the Night Before Christmas Campaign, a local Ayrshire charity that ensures children and young adults across West Scotland can experience the magic of Christmas, through their fundraising campaign 'Red Bags Full of Joy'.

Eight years after beginning the charity, and with the help of volunteers known as ‘elves’, the charity have made an impact on over 6,840 individuals with the ‘Red Bags Full of Joy’ campaign.

Just like Santa and his team of elves, Jodie and the 
NB4CC elves work hard all year round to make sure all children and young adults can experience the magic of Christmas, working from January right up until Christmas Eve.
