Thank you for raising over £100,000 in 2024

Thanks to the amazing generosity of our guests, Silverburn raised a record breaking amount for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity in 2024.

We held a series of fundraising initiatives in collaboration with the charity throughout the year, raising an incredible £100,914.26, marking a 19% increase on last year’s fundraising total and a record amount raised for the charity at Silverburn in one year. It’s also the highest amount raised by a retail destination for the charity in 2024.

Through this partnership, Silverburn brought back the hugely popular Flamingo Beach summer event for a second year. The family friendly indoor beach attracted over 21,000 visitors and raised a staggering £48,561 during its eight-week run, exceeding both the footfall and donations from its inaugural year.

Spooky Halloween events added a further £1,686.35 to the fundraising pot while over the festive period, Silverburn’s Christmas initiatives raised an astonishing £50,666.91, surpassing last year’s total by over £12,000. The Christmas activities included daily visits from Santa, choir performances and the charity’s pop-up Christmas shop.

In addition to the financial contributions, a significant increase in volunteer activity played a key role in the record-breaking funds raised. Silverburn saw 2,626 volunteer hours contributed across its events in 2024, up from 1,758 hours in 2023. This vital support was provided by volunteers from many leading Scottish businesses, alongside people from the local community, who dedicated their time and energy to the cause.

During the year we also welcomed Back Onside for Blue Monday, an organisation which is dedicated to providing lifesaving mental health support. This was paired with a donation of Silverburn gift cards to the Back Onside activation in the mall. 

£1,200 worth of food was donated to Pollok Pantry to help our local community, along with £1,000 worth of toys donated to SWAMP as part of their Glasgow Festive Giveaway. We also donated 100 selection boxes to local children going to see the panto.

We can’t wait to see what we achieve together in 2025!
