My story

Hi ,

A very big thank you to everyone who visited my fundraising page and so generously donated.

On Wednesday (3rd June) I spent a very messy, rather undignified hour sitting in a bath of 222 cans of cold baked beans right outside our main reception at Bishopton to raise funds for Erskine as part of our fundraising week - Erskine Week. As you can see I was persuaded to dip my head right under - not very pleasant but thankfully I had my son's swimming goggles so it wasn't as bad as it might have bean......!!!

Donations from people like yourself really do play a vital part in helping us provide the very special care that our Scottish veterans need and deserve. Donating just £5 can buy a nameplate for a resident's door, which may in itself sound very simple, but it gives a veteran a new identity and address when they first move into Erskine and may be at their most vulnerable.

Thank you again if you have donated. If by any chance you haven't and you'd still like to do so please do !! If you can donate through Justgiving that would be great as it's quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Erskine gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you so very much.

Cheers,

Sarah x.
