Fife radio station calls on listeners to tune in their efforts for Kingdom Kids

A Fife children’s charity is just one of the worthwhile causes being adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Kingdom Kids, which is the children’s charity of DC Thomson Media radio station Kingdom FM, exists to raise and distribute funds to groups supporting under-privileged and disadvantaged youngsters throughout Fife.

Over the years, thousands of pounds worth of funding has been handed out to people actively supporting the positive development of young people in the region, and applications for financial support continue to flood in from local organisations in need of a helping hand.

With lockdown restrictions forcing the cancellation or postponement of crucial fundraising events in recent months, there has never been a more challenging time for all those involved.

“We, like all charities, have seen a dramatic decline in revenues due to the cancellation of so many fundraising events,” said Adam Findlay, head of radio at DC Thomson Media.

“Now more than ever we’re urging the loyal listeners to look at ways in which they can raise funds on behalf of Kingdom Kids, and they can find out more on the official website.”

The charity’s showpiece Strictly Come Prancing event, due to take place earlier this year, has been rescheduled for later on and more public events designed to help Fife’s youngsters are in the pipeline.

The charity is keen to hear from local individuals, organisations and businesses who could support the cause.
