How to help this Christmas
Ho – Ho – Hold up! You want to support the amputee community this Christmas? First of all, thank you. Donations and fundraising can be slow at this time of year, so you’ll really be making a difference. Secondly, the festive period can be tough for many, so your efforts will ensure that we can offer the right support to anybody in our community who may be struggling. Thirdly… Actually we don’t have a third one. Let’s get right into the list of how you can help.
Alternative Gift Giving
Presents are so last year. If you really want to treat your friends and family this year, buy one of our Alternative Gift Giving cards that each cover a certain cost for one of the amputees we support. You can pay for swimming lessons, a Pilates class or Counselling. The best part is that you’ll be making the recipient feel super good!

Video messages
Similar to the option above, you can request a bespoke video message from one of our Troopers! The video will be personalised to whoever you’re sending it to, and will include a big thank you for their support. It’s just like all of the celebrity video messages you see nowadays, except we’re not famous. That’s an interesting twist, isn’t it?

FYF Merchandise
We’ve got some brand spanking new clothes and accessories that are just as cool as the big brands without the ridiculous price tag. We were actually asked to appear at New York Fashion Week but thought we were a bit too cool to go. Okay, that part’s not true but still – BUY OUR MERCH!
Check out our store here.
Raffle Tickets
We’ve got a fantastic Christmas raffle with plenty of vouchers and prizes, including 3 staycations! It’s only a quid a ticket and you can do it all online. It’s very generous of you, and you might just be rewarded with a prize. Nab yourself some tickets and remember, the more you have the better the chance… but we would say that, wouldn’t we?

Christmas Cards
We’ve recently joined a platform where you can choose a design and even upload your own picture! When you purchase, we’ll get a percentage of the proceeds. So, if you still like sending out a wee card at Christmas then we’d love you to do it via this link so you can support the amputee community along the way.

Christmas Fundraiser
Who doesn’t love a wee festive fundraiser? Well, probably some people, but we’ll never know until we try… Set yourself a snow running challenge, bake some Crimbo cookies or have a wrap-a-thon. Whatever you choose to do, we’ll be truly honoured if you raise some cash for us, and it will directly help amputees in Scotland.
Feel free to get in touch if you need some ideas or help!
One-off Donation
Last, but certainly not least, you can make a donation that will give amputees in Scotland access to physical and emotional support. If you’ve had a good year or just want to spread some festive cheer, you can follow this link to do so. It means the world to us.
You can donate here.
