Scottish Friendly champions local communities with new educational partnerships
Scottish Friendly is celebrating a successful year defined by a dedicated commitment to supporting local communities through strategic partnerships, volunteering, and fundraising.
A focal point of these efforts was the launch of a pioneering partnership with the Just Finance Foundation (JFF) to deliver financial education and inclusion to primary schools, marking the charity’s first dedicated programme in Scotland.
In addition to this new educational initiative, the mutual continued its longstanding support for Action for Children by backing a wellbeing programme for high school pupils across Glasgow. The organisation’s staff played a crucial role in these achievements, raising an impressive £14,800 for Action for Children through various efforts, including a Christmas Fun Day at their Glasgow office. Colleagues also contributed over 16 volunteering hours to a range of charitable activities.
Kevin Brown, PR and communications manager at Scottish Friendly, said: “These initiatives reflect our continued commitment to making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work.
“It’s inspiring to see our colleagues coming together to support fundamental causes that make a real difference to children and young people. From financial education to wellbeing programmes and fundraising, 2025 was a year of collaboration and impact and we’re excited to build on this momentum throughout 2026.”
Sarah Wallace, director at Just Finance Foundation, said: “We’re thrilled to launch our new partnership with Scottish Friendly.
“Their generous support will allow us to reach more children across Scotland with quality financial education, and we’re proud to be among the inspiring charities they support in making a real difference to young people’s futures.”
