GRAHAM Building North is ramping up its support for Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity with a team of 20 brave staff members preparing to take on a charity skydive in Auchterarder this August.
The fundraising drive, which has already generated significant excitement within the company, aims to raise £20,000 to support the purchase of mobile sensory units for Scotland's largest children's hospital. These units will provide vital sensory experiences for young patients, helping to alleviate stress and improve their overall hospital experience.
In December, GRAHAM Building North demonstrated its strong support for the charity through a £10,000 donation. The company also hosted a series of festive fundraising events, including a Christmas Jumper Day, bake sale, tombola, and a "guess the sweets in the jar" competition, raising an additional £600. Furthermore, six employees volunteered their time to spread festive cheer by assisting Santa at the hospital's grotto.
This ongoing commitment to Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity reflects GRAHAM Building North's dedication to supporting the local community and making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
William McGowan, head of partnerships at Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, visited GRAHAM's Glasgow office in December to highlight how the charity's work supports children and families. His presentation outlined why donations are vital in funding life-changing equipment, support services and innovative research.
William said: "We rely on the support and generosity of our donors, fundraisers and partners to fund life-changing equipment and support services at Scotland's busiest children's hospital. We are delighted to be working with GRAHAM Building North to help children and families when they need us most."
Earlier in the partnership, GRAHAM employees from across regions united for an inter-divisional football tournament in Northern Ireland. Building North celebrated a silver plate victory, contributing £1,300 to the cause.
Chris MacLeod, regional director at GRAHAM, said: "This partnership demonstrates our commitment to supporting the outstanding efforts of Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity. We look forward to working with the charity to help them raise crucial funding and inform our workforce and supply chain about the amazing service they provide to children and families during a difficult time in their lives."
The charity skydive promises to be a highlight of the year, combining adrenaline with altruism to further GRAHAM's goal of meeting – and hopefully exceeding – its £20,000 target. Beyond the skydive, the team will continue its hands-on support, with volunteers preparing to help put up Easter decorations at the hospital later this year.
