Northsound Cash for Kids set for share of Boozy Cow profits

It’s known for its generous portions but a big-hearted restaurant group is now announcing our charity Cash for Kids is set to benefit from a share of Boozy Cow profits in the year to come.

It is the third year that The Boozy Cow group, the concept developed by philanthropist Garreth Wood, has given away ALL its profits, with almost half a million pounds being donated to date.

Northsound's Cash for Kids is not the only local organisation to profit from the partnership though, with Charlie House, Cornerstone, Grampian Autistic Society and Aberdeen Cyrenians also set to benefit.

"We remain committed to giving 100% of our profits back to the local communities by directly supporting charities in the local areas."

The announcement comes as it's revealed the group gave away £210,000 in the last financial year. But they have a forecast to do even more this year, with a branch opening in Dundee next month, and a new look Aberdeen branch opening today.

Garreth said: “We work very hard throughout the year to make our units as profitable as possible and we remain committed to giving 100% of our profits back to the local communities by directly supporting charities in the local areas. I am very proud of my team who work tirelessly to achieve this, and would like to thank our loyal customers who help to make this happen.”

Every year Cash for Kids hopes to raise thousands of pounds to make grants to individuals, families, children’s groups, organisations and projects in the North East, and this new partnership will help the charity get some way to achieving that.

All the money raised locally is spent locally and goes to disabled and disadvantaged children and young people under 18 throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. We support children with physical or sensory disabilities, behavioural or psychological disorders, as well as those living in poverty or situations of deprivation, suffering distress, abuse or neglect.

Groups which have benefited in the past range from respite care and special needs groups to local Downs Syndrome, autistic and deaf groups, sports and music clubs, family centres, nursery groups and after school clubs. Cash for Kids money regularly buys beds, clothes and other essentials for children in poverty as well as funding after-school projects, lunch clubs during school holidays and streetplay.

Demand for grants always exceeds the money available and each year, so Cash for Kids strives to raise more cash, if you want to get involved you can find out more here.
