NSPCC, the leading UK children’s charity, is asking children around the country to take part in Big Board Game Day, where children will bring their favourite games to school. The event allows children to have fun while also raising awareness of the charity’s work.
The event is sponsored by Hasbro Gaming and will be taking place across the UK on Friday 31 March 2017. In Scotland alone, over 20 schools have already pledged to raise money to help NSPCC Scotland support more children through the charity’s Speak Out Stay Safe Programme in schools and through Childline.
The NSPCC is also inviting adults as well as children to join in on the fun, calling on youth clubs and offices alike to sign up for Big Board Game Day.
Sara Ling, NSPCC Scotland community fundraising manager said: ”Big Board Game Day has become an annual highlight for us with lots of children temporarily downing tools to play their favourite games with friends, family, work colleagues and classmates.”
”We are exceptionally grateful for all the donations that will be made, no matter how big or small.
Every penny raised will be put towards protecting children and young people in Scotland from abuse and helping those who have fallen victim to get their life back on track.”
Craig Wilkins, Hasbro UK Marketing Director, added: “Hasbro are delighted to be supporting the NSPCC’s Big Board Game Day activity and helping bring the joy of play to thousands of families, offices and ultimately children on March 31st.”
