Dear Editor,
As we start out on another year, I wanted to take this opportunity to say a big ‘thank you’ to your readers and our supporters for their continued commitment to the charity.
Many of your readers have taken part in a host of challenge events and raised funds through, sweat, perhaps a few tears and sheer determination. Others have supported events as volunteers, and without this army of support we simply wouldn’t be able to function. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our charity, supporting fundraising, working in our services and shops.
By donating and shopping in our 17 stores across Edinburgh and the Lothians your readers have helped our local services, as the profits from retail go directly to support the charity’s work with some of Scotland’s most disadvantaged children and young people.
And finally thanks to you for supporting us by telling your readers about our events, news and campaigns and helping to raise awareness of the work we do in the local communities.
So a big ‘thank you’ to you and your readers for helping us and we look forward to their continued support in 2018.
Yours sincerely,
Martin Crewe,
Director, Barnardo’s Scotland
111 Oxgangs Road North, Edinburgh EH14 1ED
