STV Children's Appeal
STV Children's Appeal (previously named STV Appeal) is a Scottish charity appeal organised by STV and The Hunter Foundation, in aid of the STV Charitable Trust (number SC042429).
Since its formation in 2011, the key focus of STV Appeal has been the alleviation of child poverty in Scotland. The STV Children's Appeal seeks to address long-term, sustainable change in the lives of those children most at risk by tackling the root causes as well as the effects of poverty and disadvantage.
To help achieve this objective, they engage with corporate bodies, community groups, local businesses, schools, local and central government and the general public. STV has played a key role in engaging with these parties through the utilisation of its on-air and online platforms in order to stimulate public debate on issues relating to child poverty.
Since 2011, over £21m has been raised - every penny of which has gone to help children and young people in Scotland. 1,344 funding awards have been made to children's and young people's projects across Scotland. Over 95,000 children and young people have benefited in each of Scotland's 32 local authority areas. The charity's costs are met by parent company STV plc and The Hunter Foundation meaning every penny raised goes to the front line.
In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has meant that children and young people living in poverty have been pushed into deeper poverty. As a result, STV Children's Appeal launched an Emergency Coronavirus Campaign.
Several companies have been sponsoring the appeal since its creation, including Lidl.
The STV Appeal 2011 launched during the summer, with many fundraising events taking place across the country, including Seán Batty's 130-mile Western Isles Challenge, zip-slides (including John MacKay, Sean Batty and "Miss Scotland", Jennifer Reoche), The Hour experts running the 10k, go-karting competitions, boogie-boogie dance challenges, comedy nights, sky-dives, a shark dive by STV Sport presenter Caroline Henderson and race nights; as well as a special celebrity edition of 7.30 for 8, hosted by Kaye Adams – plus much more across the whole country.
Lorraine Kelly presented The STV Appeal 2012: Live Show on Friday 7 September, live from STV Studios with a host of Scottish guests including music from Amy MacDonald and Michelle McManus and reports from Kaye Adams.
