Why a board game?
Escape the Jungle is a board game aimed at the whole family, with all proceeds going to the Scottish charity, Children 1st.
The Children 1st vision for the future is for every child and young person in Scotland to have a happy, healthy, safe and secure childhood.
We and Children 1st believe the best possible outcomes are achieved with the active participation and inclusion of children, young people, their families and our staff and volunteers.
The Escape the Jungle board game aims to provide a vehicle to bring children, young people and their families together, in an entertaining and educational way.
What we will do
50% of all money raised will go to producing board games to help vulnerable families across Scotland. The other 50% will go towards helping the charity provide over 60 services they offer throughout Scotland. These include:
*Family support
*Abuse and trauma recovery
*Working with young caregivers
*Safeguarding in sport
*Parent line
"A lot of the children that use this service have had horrible things happen to them. We work with children to help them understand what's happened to them, and to help them know that it wasn't their fault".
Patricia Watts, Project worker, Children 1st.

The other 50% of your donation will go straight to Children 1st, where your donation will support vulnerable children and young people and help them to thrive safely within their families. Every penny you donate stays in Scotland and will help
