January 26, 2018Renfrewshire’s Provost Lorraine Cameron is calling on local businesses to sign her up for a day’s work, all in the name of charity.
Aiming to raise as much money as possible during her time in office, Provost Cameron is offering her time to any organisation in Renfrewshire who wishes to bring her into their team for a day.
All the money raised will go towards the Provost’s chosen charity for 2018 which is MND Scotland, who provide care and support to people affected by Motor Neurone Disease as well as funding research into finding a cure.
Provost Cameron said: “I’m always up for a challenge and I’m looking forward to getting out to our local businesses and seeing the fantastic work they do first hand.
“The care and support that MND Scotland do for those who are diagnosed with the illness and their families is indescribable and I’m committed to helping them in any way I can.
“So I’m asking any Renfrewshire business who wishes to do something for the benefit of charity to get in touch and invite me along for a day.”
The Provost will be supporting two other charities during her time in office with Renfrewshire’s two hospices, St Vincent’s and ACCORD, being the beneficiaries in the following two years.
Businesses are asked to make a minimum donation of £200 for the Provost’s time and for their generosity, they will receive publicity in the local media, coverage on the council’s social media channels and on the Council website.
