equipment and pioneering research to family support services and innovative play programmes, the charity relies on donations to support the 168,000 children
treated at the hospital each year. Kirsten Sinclair, Director of
Fundraising, says: “Last year, we raised £4.2 million, more than 80 per cent of which came from fundraisers, donors and corporate supporters. It’s thanks to these supporters that the charity can fund pioneering projects and enhancements at the hospital. “In November, the charity introduced a bereavement service to help families and staff cope with the loss of a child; November also saw the introduction of Baby Cams to the neonatal unit. Through the use of video technology, parents can be with their seriously ill babies 24/7, even if they can’t be in the ward.

children is a familiar institution. Every year, since 1945, the city’s drivers don their costumes and beautify their cabs for the outing to Troon. A spokesman explains: “All facilities are laid on for the children and if the weather is inclement, the Town Hall is put at their disposal. “The residents all join in the fun and
the funds of the outing benefit greatly from the licensed premises in the town who throughout the year take collections which help to make the event the success it is.” At Royal Bank of Scotland, the
commitment to charitable giving is evident all the time. It does so through official bank programmes and through the activity of its employees, who provide valuable ongoing support to charities and other community groups across the world.
