  • 17th April 2019
  • Charity News

On the 21st of February, The Hospital Saturday Fund hosted a special reception at the Glasgow City Chambers where donations were presented to 26 Scottish charities. In all, £80,000 was donated to the charities, with the cheques being presented by The Lord Dean of Guild, Mr Ian Dickson, who was representing The Rt Hon Lord Provost of Glasgow, Councilor Eva Bolander (Vice President of The Hospital Saturday Fund).

Among the beneficiaries included the following charities:

· Leonard Cheshire, who received a grant towards their Go Digital! Project for access to health and inclusion via technology

· The Children with Cancer and Leukaemia (CCLASP) charity received a grant towards  fitting out their new respite centre

· The Froglife Trust grant is to be used towards their dementia project

· Scottish Huntington’s Association received some funding to enable them to provide an HD Specialist Service in Glasgow and Clyde

· The Orkney MS Therapy Centre, who intend to use their grant to fund enabling therapies for MS sufferers in Orkney

· Marie Curie received a grant towards funding their ‘Pay for a Day’ of care at their Glasgow hospice

· The Throat Cancer Foundation’s grant will be used towards providing information booklets for patients, families and medical professionals

Speaking at the reception on behalf of The Lord Provost, the Lord Dean of Guild celebrated the extraordinary work of all the charities receiving donations from The Hospital Saturday Fund. The Lord Provost of Glasgow, Councillor Eva Bolander, had nominated The Lord Provost’s Children’s Fund as her chosen charity for the event, and the grant from HSF will support applications relating to the areas of medical need, ill health or disability.

Paul Jackson, Chief Executive of The Hospital Saturday Fund said: “We are delighted to continue the tradition of supporting many wide-ranging charities in Scotland, many of which are less well-known. The Hospital Saturday Fund is honored to support the efforts of such deserving charities and help in some way towards the exceptional, tireless work that they do in making such a huge and positive difference to people’s lives.”

In 2019 the Hospital Saturday Fund will give £1.5 million as grants to medical charities for care and research, hospices and hospitals across the UK and Ireland. Assistance will also be given to individuals whose illness or disability has caused financial difficulties.
