A proportion of the money raised by our recent Sponsored Walk will go to a newly registered children’s charity – It’s Good 2 Give!  Please encourage your register class to bring in their money to support this very worthy cause.

It's Good 2 Give!  is a newly registered charity (registered charity number: SCO41416) from Scotland's Volunteer Fundraiser of the Year, Lynne McNicoll. In 2005, Lynne, on the eve of her fiftieth birthday, decided to celebrate in a more giving way: by raising £50,000 for a childrens charity. After four years Lynne has raised £650,000 mainly through community fundraising.

Among other things this allowed a specialist unit to be opened at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children for 13-16 year olds fighting cancer.

It's Good 2 Give! will raise funds to:

Support young people affected by cancer and their families in  Scotland
Support the provision of accommodation for care and respite tailored specifically to young cancer patients and their families
Encourage people of all ages to give – time, skills, ideas, money, blood.
