Cambridge Bioscience support River Kids
Cambridge Bioscience is a UK Distributor for Life Science products for medical research, based in Cambridge.
As part of their supply contract with the University of Edinburgh, they are asked to engage with the ESES Communities Team to explore opportunities for social value investment in Edinburgh and Southeast Scotland. This is the second year of collaborating.
Through this contact, they were introduced to River Kids.
At River Kids, they believe that no child should go without.
That is why they enable positive change for disadvantaged children and their families by providing them with essential goods, clothing and toys, access to financial support through small grants and help with finding employment through volunteering and work placements.
Their dedicated team members and volunteers work closely with support and social care services to raise standards of living, alleviate stress and provide opportunities for the young people of West Lothian to thrive.
They manage the West Lothian Toy Appeal, which provides gifts on birthdays and at Christmas.
Cambridge Bioscience participated in their 2025 Christmas Toy Appeal and made a generous donation to help support families during the festive period.
We received 3,300 referrals for our 2025 Christmas Toy appeal, and every one of these children received a bag of toys. Thank you for helping us bring joy to children this Christmas. Your generosity truly made a difference.
We’re glad to support River Kids and the valuable support they provide to children and families. The work they do makes a real difference within the community.
