We can’t quite believe it’s that time of the year already where we announce we will be opening applications to be our Charity of the Year for 2025 very soon.

We have had the most incredible and rewarding year working with Highland Action For Little Ones - Halo throughout 2024 and we’ve still got lots more fundraising to do and awareness to raise for them before the end of 2024

Applications to be our Charity of the Year for 2025 will open at noon on Friday 15th November and close at noon on Friday 20th December.

You can check back on our website on 15th November for more info and to download the application form

Highland Business Women Members please save the date of the afternoon of Tuesday 14th January for our annual Charity of the Year Presentations and Lunch. More information on that to follow in the coming weeks. Please note only current members can vote and you must attend the lunch to do so.

We wanted to take some time to highlight our wonderful Charity of the Year Highland Action For Little Ones - Halo and the fantastic work they do within our local community.

Halo was founded to support families in crisis and bridge a gap for families who require immediate assistance for their wee ones. In the Highlands 1 in every 5 children is living in poverty and living in poverty can create adverse childhood experiences for children and can leave them vulnerable to being bullied, limiting their life chances and opportunities. When something as simple as a warm winter jacket and boots encourages a child to want to attend school, it’s a small step on their path to a brighter future.

You can help Halo at anytime by donating via the Just Giving link below:

They also have an Amazon wishlist:

You can also drop any donations to their drop off at the Eastgate Centre or at their HQ at 50 Seafield Road, Inverness, IV1 1SG by prior arrangement.
