SOEC offers numerous ways to support our organisation:
One-off donations
We welcome all donations, large or small. Every £1 makes a difference. In fact, every £1 of our work generates £11 of benefit back to children in Scotland.
Many of our supporters attended Belmont, Broomlee or Dounans themselves as children – do you have memories of a SOEC camp experience? We would love to hear from you!
