We've all said it. "I could do with a duvet day." Not because we're ill. Because we're tired.

Life is busy. Work is demanding. Family life is full-on. Sometimes, all we really crave is a little time to slow down. A duvet day has become shorthand for something we all need from time to time.

Rest. Comfort. The chance to switch off.

But for too many children across our community, comfort isn't a feeling. It's something they're missing.

A bed. A warm duvet. Fresh bedding. Somewhere safe to sleep.

That's why we're launching Duvet Day as part of our Sweet Dreams campaign.

We're inviting businesses across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire to create their own version of a duvet day. Some of our supporters are raffling an extra day's annual leave. Others are donating hotel stays, spa experiences, luxury bedding and little escapes. Every workplace is making it their own, and we'd love yours to be part of it too.

It really couldn't be simpler.

Choose a prize your team would genuinely love to win.
Sell raffle tickets.
Help provide beds, bedding and sleep essentials for local children.

On 2nd October, we'll celebrate every business taking part and reveal the total raised. Together, we'll help ensure more local children have the comfort of a warm bed, cosy bedding and somewhere safe to sleep before the darker nights roll in - so bedtime can be about cuddling up under a duvet, sharing a bedtime story and drifting off to sweet dreams.

If your business is looking for a simple way to make a real difference this autumn, we'd love you to join us.

Because 'No Child Should Go Without Sweet Dreams.'

We’re celebrating another year as an accredited Living Wage and Living Hours employer.

As an organisation dedicated to fighting fuel poverty and supporting people through the cost-of-living crisis, we know how important financial security can be. That means it’s important that we get things right for our own people too.

For us, being a Living Wage and Living Hours employer is about making sure our team is paid fairly and has the security and predictability that comes with fair working hours.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, so we’re proud to mark another year of putting fair pay, fair hours and our employees’ wellbeing at the heart of how we work.

Has your organisation joined us yet? If not, why not find out more at Living Wage UK

Don't pack blind this holiday season ☀️✈️

Carbon monoxide can't be seen, smelled or tasted, and it can be just as dangerous when you're away from home as it is at home.

If you're travelling, consider taking a portable carbon monoxide alarm with you and make sure any holiday accommodation has working safety alarms.

Stay safe wherever your travels take you. 💚
