Henderson Loggie has announced the first round of grants from its recently launched Charitable Foundation. The accountancy firm has distributed over £10,000 to five charities working across Scotland, each selected for their grassroots impact and commitment to supporting vulnerable communities.
Among the recipients is Togs, a clothing bank that ensures children from low-income families have access to essential garments. With £2,000 in funding, Togs will be able to expand its reach, helping more families maintain dignity and warmth during difficult times.
The Yard, which received £2,434, the largest grant in this round, offers inclusive play experiences and support services for disabled children and their families. The funding will help enhance their facilities and extend their programming, giving more children the opportunity to play, learn, and connect in a safe and supportive environment.
Gill Thomson, Service Development Manager at The Yard said: “We would like to thank The Henderson Loggie Charitable Foundation for their kind donation which helped us purchase new height adjustable tables which helps us to be inclusive and accessible and makes sure that any young person can attend and feel part of the activities.”
Also awarded £2,000 is The Neuro Therapy Place which provides holistic support for individuals living with neurological conditions. The grant will enable the charity to deepen its therapeutic offerings and community outreach, improving wellbeing among those navigating complex health challenges.
Genevieve Harrison, CEO at The Neuro Therapy Place said: “We are very grateful to have received the funds from the Henderson Loggie Charitable Foundation. Their generous donation will give our clients either 57 physiotherapy sessions or 80 oxygen sessions for free. We rely on the kindness and generosity of organisations like Henderson Loggie, and this funding really does make a difference to our clients’ wellbeing.”
Care for Carers, a voluntary organisation dedicated to supporting unpaid carers, will use its £2,000 grant to bolster its counselling, respite, and advocacy services. The funding comes at a critical time, as carers continue to face mounting pressures with limited resources.
Finally, Light Up Learning has been granted £2,000 to expand its one-to-one mentoring programme for high school students. Focused on unlocking potential through personalised guidance, the charity aims to empower young people who may be struggling within traditional education systems.
Henderson Loggie Charitable Foundation Trustee and Chair of the Foundation, Jacqueline Watson said: “These grants reflect our belief in the power of local action. Each organisation is doing extraordinary work, and we’re proud to support their missions as they help communities across Scotland.”
The Foundation plans to continue its funding programme with future rounds aimed at addressing emerging needs and amplifying social impact. For Henderson Loggie, this is more than corporate giving, it’s a long-term investment and a reflection of their mission to leave a positive legacy in their communities.
