We would like to say a huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Perth for organising another successful Perthshire Classic Car Tour, which this year raised funds for MS Society Scotland along with other excellent charities.
More than 15,000 people in Scotland live with multiple sclerosis (MS).
It is a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord and it impacts how people move, think and feel.
MS Society Scotland offers support, information and opportunities for people affected by MS.
Our supporters and fundraisers, like the Rotary Club of Perth and everyone involved in the Perthshire Classic Car Tour, play an important role in this work. strathearnhrald.co.uk.
Make sure you include your name, address and some information about your image.
We are very grateful for their support.
Morna Simpkins, MS Society Scotland
Awarenessweek
Dear Editor
This month, we celebrate Deaf Awareness Week – which runs from May 6-12.
Did you know that nine out of 10 deaf children are born to hearing parents?
A great many parents tell us they knew very little, or even nothing at all, about deafness before they had a deaf child.
So it’s hardly surprising that many such parents find themselves feeling confused, unprepared and worried about what the future might hold.
The National Deaf Children’s Society is here to help you give your deaf child the very best start in life.
With the right support, there’s absolutely no reason why they shouldn’t grow up confident, happy and fulfilled.
We’re here for you. We can provide support for all of you who are new to the journey, through our extensive resources - from our helpline, 0808 800 8880, and our wealth of expertise, right through to the friendship and reassurance of our fantastic community.
Find out more by visiting our website via www.ndcs.org.uk.

Dear Editor
Having lived through the atrocities of war,
millions of Ethiopians are now facing emergency levels of food insecurity and hunger.
The charity Mary’s Meals serves school meals to children in the Tigray region of the country but, sadly, the stories we are hearing from Tigray are shocking.
After the two-year civil war, so many children are still out of school, and many of those who are in school can’t learn due to debilitating hunger.
You can provide them with hope of a brighter future.
Please visit marysmeals.org. uk to give what you can.
At just 10p a meal, no donation is too small.
With your help we can reach these hungry children and boost their chances of engaging with education again.
Matt Barlow, executive director, Mary’s Meals
