Fundraising for CHAS

16th February 2009 | < Back | Balhousie Care RSS Feed

Residents and staff at Balhousie Care Group are enthusiastically continuing with their fundraising efforts for the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) – our nominated charity for 2008/09.

Many fundraising activities, both big and small, have taken place at each Balhousie care home resulting in plenty of fun and a great deal of kindness between Balhousie staff, residents and the local communities. Balhousie events for CHAS have included a ‘Sponsored Silence’ at Balhousie Dalnaglar, Crieff, a ‘Polish Night’ at Balhousie North Inch, Perth, a ‘Prize Bingo Tea’ at Balhousie Rigifa, Methven, and a ‘Sponsored Cycle’ from Inverness to Perth with Balhousie Luncarty, Luncarty – and the list goes on!

Tony Banks, Managing Director of Balhousie Care Group commented, ‘We are delighted at the fundraising effort put in by our staff and the support that this worthwhile cause (CHAS) receives from our residents and the wider community.’

The charity year for 2008/2009 will come to an end on 30 April 2009, when a cheque for the total funds raised by Balhousie Care Group will be presented to Children’s Hospice Association Scotland.

Regular updates of the CHAS events and activities held by Balhousie Care Group can be found in this section of our website. Please check back regularly.
