Charities’ delight at windfall promise

Charities in Dundee have expressed their delight as being selected as beneficiaries of Boozy Cow’s profits.

The five charities only found out this month they were to benefit from Boozy Cow’s support.

Rosie Summerton, manager of Art Angel Dundee, said: “It was all quite out of the blue, to be honest. We were approached by Boozy Cow who asked about the project and what we did.

“They found out about some of our work from staff – when they were recruiting people they were asking for what charities they thought they should be supporting.”

Charis Robertson of Hot Chocolate Trust said: “It was encouraging and humbling to receive the phone call from the Boozy Cow last week, telling us we had been nominated as one of their charity partners.

“Their business model and philanthropic vision is incredibly inspiring, and their financial support comes at an ideal time for Hot Chocolate Trust as we seek to develop and strengthen the work we do with young people.”

Irene Sutherland of Mid-Lin Day Care said: “This is both an honour and a pleasure to be connected to such an amazing and insightful foundation.”

A spokeswoman for Dundee Woman’s Aid said: “This news came totally out the blue for us and our partnership will undoubtedly have a positive impact in improving services for the women, children and young people experiencing domestic abuse in Dundee.”

Help for Kids will also receive a share of the profits.
