Fundraising

VSO ask all their volunteer to help raise funds and awareness of their work. Calum and I therefore held a ceilidh in Edinburgh on the 22nd July at Lauriston Hall. It was majorly stressful in the run up as we really weren't sure if we would make enough money to break even let alone make a profit. Thankfully, we had loads of help from Ken Gourlay who helped organise the hire of the hall, the brilliant band and used his contacts to advertise our event widely pulling in a brilliant crowd, together with our friends, family and colleagues.  I would like to say a huge thank you to ken, and to evryone who came along. I also have to mention some local businesses, especially Cheynes Hairdressing at York Place, Morningside School of Music and Royal Troon Golf Course who were really supportive and provided amazing prizes for our silent auction. Overall we managed to raise £1350 and it was really good fun.

For those who couldn't make it to the ceilidh but would like to donate I also have a just giving page at www.justgiving.com/jo-laycock thanks to everyone who ahs already donated, and if you haven't - well what are you waiting for!!!!!!
