Charity Disbursement
•We raise money for Charity
•And then we give:
•One quarter to CHAS – Aberdeen
•One quarter to Carronhill School, Stonehaven
•One half to local organisations and charities
CHAS• Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) is a
Scottish charity established to provide hospice services in Scotland for children and young people with life-limiting conditions.
• A children’s hospice offers professional care, practical help and emotional support to the whole family usually from the day of acceptance, to the death of their child, and beyond.
• Recently, they have opened a branch in Aberdeen and we thought it sensible to support them
• More at: http://www.chas.org.uk
CARRONHILL SCHOOL
•There are several children in the area who attend Carronhill school
•They are raising funds for a new bus and running costs
