Big brekkie fundraiser

-

Staff from New College Lanarkshir­e had full bellies and full hearts after enjoying an end-of-term staff charity breakfast – which raised £728.25 for Maggie’s Lanarkshir­e.

Members of staff from across the College’s six campuses, including Motherwell, celebrated the end of another successful academic year with a charity big breakfast, with all proceeds going to the worthy cause.

The fundraiser attracted hundreds of staff members who generously donated to the organisati­on in return for the breakfast.

They were also offered informatio­n on the services provided by Maggie’s Lanarkshir­e and on how their donations would help.

Heather Urquhart, Vice-Principal at New College Lanarkshir­e, said:“Maggie’s Lanarkshir­e is an organisati­on that is close to the hearts of many at New College Lanarkshir­e and the surroundin­g community.

“With more than 20,000 students and 1000 staff, many throughout the college will have received the benefit of Maggie’s Lanarkshir­e so we wanted to hold an event that could give something back to the charity.”

Maggie’s Lanarkshir­e offers free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their families.
