TV’s Sean says tuck into charity breakfast
Telly weatherman Sean Batty is forecasting a great turnout for the Big Scottish Breakfast fundraiser event.
The Paisley man is encouraging communities across Scotland to join in with the event, an annual STV Children’s Appeal fundraising event which supports children and young people affected by poverty in Scotland.
This year’s Big Scottish Breakfast will be held on Friday, October 5, with schools, businesses and sports teams across the country getting together for fun breakfast events.
The STV presenter said:“The Big Scottish Breakfast got off to a great start last year with breakfast events across the country raising money for Scotland’s children.
“I had lots of fun getting involved and it wasn’t just a case of eating croissants and toast – most fundraisers had me doing spin classes, zumba or dancing to weatherthemed songs.
“This year we’re determined to go even bigger and better, and I’d love to see schools, businesses and groups right across the country join in with their own Big Scottish Breakfast event.
“Remember, as well as tucking in to a delicious breakfast you can add a twist of get-up-and-go – morning exercise is great for clearing up any morning clouds and gets everyone bright and sunny for the day ahead.”
Since its launch in 2011, the STV Children’s Appeal has raised £16.3million, with 964 big and small grants awarded to projects across all 32 local authority areas in Scotland, providing much-needed support to more than 67,000 children.
The Big Scottish Breakfast is sponsored by Wholesale Domestic Bathrooms. Co-owner Walter Toward said:“The Big Scottish Breakfast is a fantastic campaign by the STV Children’s Appeal and we are very happy to be on board as this year’s sponsor.
“I hope businesses across Scotland will join us in supporting Scotland’s children with their very own Big Scottish Breakfast events on October 5.”
