Dream team: Pauline Radcliffe, Fiona Garry and Susan Lauder are all ditching their beds for a worthy cause

Big-hearted staff at the SCQF Partnership are stocking up on sleeping bags, woolly hats and hot water bottles to raise funds for Action for Children Scotland.

On Friday, October 4, SCQF Partnership CEO Pauline Radcliffe and team members Susan Lauder and Fiona Garry will take on the annual Boycott your Bed challenge, sleeping out to support vulnerable children while raising vital funds for Action for Children Scotland.

They will spend the night sleeping outside with only a sleeping mat and bag to protect them from the elements.

Our mission

Pauline said: “As an organisation that believes in providing all children and young people with positive futures through learning and development, the SCQF Partnership has been privileged to support Action for Children Scotland this year as our partner charity, through a number of volunteering and fundraising initiatives. Boycotting our bed is a great way of showing our commitment to the ethos of Action for Children Scotland and the children and young people they support.”

Action for Children Scotland protects and champions children and young people, providing practical and emotional care and assistance, ensuring their voices are heard, and campaigning to bring lasting improvements to their lives.

More than four million children live in poverty in the UK. Through its fundraising, the SCQFP team wants to help Action for Children Scotland support more children and young people.
