It's so difficult to choose a charity to support. In the end I couldn't decide on just one so I chose a local hospice called Strathcarron Hospice and Labrador Retriever Rescue Scotland.
Strathcarron Hospice
Strathcarron Hospice provides palliative care throughout Forth Valley, Cumbernauld & Kilsyth in Central Scotland. They provide vital care and support to patients and families at a time when they need it most.
Their services are free to everyone and they need to raise over £12,900 each and every DAY. The Hospice employés nearly 200 people and their services cost over £6.5 million each year. They only get 38% of their running costs from the NHS - the rest has to be found from individuals and the community.
So I'm doing my part to support this vital service.
Labrador Retreiver Rescue Scotland
We've had many dogs over the years, most of them rescues and most of them labradors!
The Labrador Retriever Rescue Scotland (LRRS) people do a remarkable job - all voluntary in rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming Labradors.
It's the vet bills and kennel costs that take up most of LRRS funds. Every little helps in making sure these lovely dogs are looked after.
