SACHD - Helping Families Across Scotland

FUND RAISING

Each Branch organises their own fundraising events. From fashion shows and quizzes to dances and sponsored events, and much more.

Tina, Edinburgh  branch Treasurer, after completing the Edinburgh Marathon on 25th May 2008 for funds.

Charity Christmas Cards are sold through the branches and two shops at:
1. A.K. Bell Library, Perth. In 2007 the shop sold £5,236.00 of our cards.

2. St George’s Church, Edinburgh.

All money raised is spent within Scotland. No money goes towards salaries, as we are all volunteers.

Money goes towards projects such as:-

1. Research.
2. Heart start defibrillators.
3. Supporting children and young adults with congenital heart disorders and their families.
4. Coagu check machines, which check blood warfarin levels, saving families valuable time having to visit hospitals, clinics, etc.

What about Fundraising?
The Association does raise funds and tries to use these activities therapeutically. There is quite often, a very strong need to give something back (even when things go drastically wrong). Fundraising is, possibly, the most positive and constructive way to fulfil these needs and also helps to purchase those items that are so desperately needed. No pressure is placed on any member to raise funds. It is your Association so you can be involved as much or as little as you desire.
