Creating impact with new charity partnerships

We have joined forces with three new partner charities starting in 2026, as part of our ongoing commitment to making a positive difference in the communities around us.

Over the next three years, we will be working alongside BB14, Kayleigh’s Wee Stars and Cleft Lip and Palate Action (CLAPA), supporting their inspiring work with financial donations and hands-on volunteering. Selected through an internal nomination and voting process, the chosen charities reflect the causes that matter most to our people.

Alan Murray, Kellas’ Chief Operating Officer who leads the company’s corporate social responsibility efforts, said: “Charity partnerships are a powerful way to bring our team together to raise funds, volunteer their time and support causes close to their hearts. We are excited to begin this next chapter with three organisations doing incredible work supporting local people, families and communities, and look forward to building meaningful relationships as we have done with our previous partner charities.”

BB14 was founded in Aberdeen in 2024 in memory of Ben Bradford who died suddenly at the age of 16. To honour his kindness and love of football, the charity works to increase access to sporting activities and community facilities, supporting wellbeing and inclusion so children and families can play, learn and thrive.

Kayleigh’s Wee Stars provides vital financial support for families where a child has a terminal illness. Established in memory of Kayleigh who passed away from a brain tumour, the Aberdeenshire-based charity awards grants to ease financial burdens and enable families to make precious memories together.

Cleft Lip and Palate Action (CLAPA) is the UK’s national charity for people affected by cleft lip and/or palate. It provides lifelong support, information, community connection and specialist resources, helping individuals and families navigate diagnosis, treatment and beyond while campaigning for better cleft care.
