Heat & Eat Appeal 2025: Helping Families in Fife Stay Safe, Warm, and Supported.

DONATE HERE

Since 2017, the Fife Gingerbread Heat and Eat Appeal has been helping vulnerable families across Fife to stay safe, warm, and supported. Thanks to the incredible generosity of local communities and businesses, we’ve been able to offer vital crisis support when it’s needed most.

We’re proud to now launch our 2025 Annual Appeal, continuing our mission to ensure every child in Fife grows up in a healthy home with warmth, food, and care. Every penny raised goes directly to support families in need and make better todays and brighter tomorrows for children across Fife.

Fife, you’ve been an absolute superstar over the past seven years- so let’s go for it in 2026!

Why Your Support Matters

Our Annual Appeal goes directly to support families in crisis, providing critical support all year round. Heating the home for children, cost of the weekly shop, unexpected bills- when you are struggling, these rising costs can make an already difficult situation turn into a crisis. And that can be felt even more at this time of year. We all feel the pinch, but we are working with families who do have to decide between heating and eating - and they live right here in our towns and villages in Fife.

And we need you to donate! Your business, your pals, your local football team, everyone and anyone- every pound counts- and this is what you can help us to do-

- Ensuring children get cosy in warm homes with access to heat and electricity

- Offering healthy meals and shopping to cover the holidays to families struggling to make ends meet

- Providing crisis support for emergencies

- Helping families with a special Festive Package that includes toys, food, vouchers, and fuel

How You Can Help

Your donation could be the difference between a child going to bed cold or feeling the warmth of a heated home. Whether big or small, every contribution helps. Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Donate: Every donation goes straight to supporting vulnerable families. [Click here to donate now!]

  • Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues.

  • Fundraise: Organise your own fundraising activity to raise money for our Heat & Eat appeal like a sponsored walk or cold water dip!

  • Get Involved: Get your business signed up to either donate to the appeal directly, or organise a fundraising activity in your workplace.

Together, we can make sure no child or family is left behind this winter.
