Cookup astorm tohelp hospice

St Andrew’s Hospice are asking supporters to cook up a storm this summer as part of a major new fundraising initiative.

The charity are part of the Scotland’s Hospices Together partnership which has launched the Big Scotch Beef Sizzle.

And people are being asked to hold a barbecue during June to raise funds

St Andrew’s head of fundraising John Brady, said: “We’d like to encourage as many people as possible to host a barbecue in June to support their local hospice.

“These provide end-of-life care and support to patients and their families, and are reliant on donations and voluntary support to continue providing that much-needed care.”

Although based in Airdrie, the specialist palliative care hospice covers the whole of Lanarkshire and they have raised over £4m as part of their current £9m renovation appeal.
