If you would like to make your gift to a child on behalf of a friend or loved one, we will send you an Ardoch gift certificate(s) with your receipt, detailing what your donation will mean to a young person.

Back To School Stationery Pack $25.00 Just twenty five dollars provides a primary school child with the essential stationery items they need to start a year of learning.	New School Shoes $50.00 This gift lets you give a child new school shoes when they need them. For a family experiencing hardship, fast growing feet can be hard to fit into the family budget.
Textbooks for a Secondary Student $100.00 The requirements for learning become more complicated - and more costly - the further young people progress in their education. Support for textbooks will help a high school student to have the vital resources needed to continue learning.	Breakfast for a Year! $250.00 A single donation of two hundred and fifty dollars is enough for Ardoch to feed one school child through our Breakfast Club program for a year.
Met Tickets $16.00 This is the weekly cost of a student Met ticket to get to school on the train, tram or bus. For a child whose family is experiencing financial hardship small things can be difficult to afford.	Toiletries $30.00 It's hard to imagine not having soap or a toothbrush, but for some the experience is all too real. This gift provides a basic toiletry kit for a young person experiencing homelessness.
Infant Care Package $60.00 Your donation of $60 makes sure a baby whose family is experiencing disadvantage has nappies, formula, nappy cream, baby wipes and powder for a week.	Tutor a Child $90.00 For children struggling in school, one on one tutoring can really increase their ability to learn. $90 helps provide one child support with 3 sessions of tutoring during school hours.
Swimming Lessons for 10 Kids! $500.00 Being able to participate in school activities such as swimming lessons is vital for children’s learning, but also costly. You can give 10 kids the opportunity to join in their class swimming lessons during the school term.	Crisis Support for a Family $1,000.00 Ardoch sometimes works with families that have multiple children and complex needs requiring support for a range of issues. This gift enables us to provide a whole family experiencing crisis with the support they need to move forward.
