Cash for Kids North East Scotland is calling on businesses, schools, community groups and families across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire to come together for an unforgettable day of fun, fundraising and friendly competition as Cash for Kids Day returns on Thursday April 30 2026.
This year’s exciting theme is QUIZ, giving workplaces and communities the perfect opportunity to unite, boost team spirit and make a real difference for local children who need support the most.
There are countless ways to join in, from hosting an office trivia challenge to taking part in the World’s Biggest Music Quiz, a nationwide on-air quiz, hosted by Ant & Dec, will be broadcast across Bauer Media stations including Northsound 1, Absolute Radio, Magic Radio and Greatest Hits Radio, creating a shared moment of excitement for listeners and supporters across the UK.
For businesses looking to make the day their own, Cash for Kids North East Scotland is also providing a local quiz pack, making it easy to run an in-house fundraiser with colleagues, customers, friends or family.
Every pound raised will stay local, helping Cash for Kids continue its life-changing work supporting disadvantaged children and young people across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Funds raised can help provide essential items, vital services, specialist equipment and the everyday necessities many local families are currently struggling to afford.
Jamie Smith, Charity Manager for Cash for Kids North East Scotland, said: “Cash for Kids Day is one of the most exciting and engaging ways for people to support local children while having a fantastic time with friends, family and colleagues. In 2026, we have already seen a significant rise in demand for our support across the North East. More children than ever are relying on us for essentials, services and opportunities that many of us take for granted. That’s why we need businesses and communities to get behind Cash for Kids Day this year. By simply hosting a quiz, joining the on-air challenge or getting your workplace involved, you can help fund vital support for children right here on our doorstep.”
Cash for Kids is encouraging companies of all sizes, from local independents to major employers, to use the day as a chance to strengthen employee engagement, support CSR goals and show their commitment to the local community.
Whether it’s a lunchtime music quiz, a department challenge, a school fundraiser or a community event, every penny raised could help change a child’s life.
