Walker Laird scores for the Scottish Association for Mental Health
Walker Laird were proud to take part in a charity football tournament which was hosted by Rutherford Cross in order to raise money for SAMH, the nation’s leading mental health charity. It was an excellent team-bonding event fuelled by competitive spirit and we've managed to raise over a whopping £1,000 in donations so far! The tournament took place at Powerleague, Townhead in Glasgow and was a brilliant way for Michael Wilson, his colleagues and friends to unwind from the office and interact with the other companies participating in the tournament.
The event was extremely well organised by the Rutherford Cross team, it was great to see such enthusiasm not only amongst all the teams participating, but the supporters that came along and helped give the players that little extra "kick", allowing us to reach the semi-final in the tournament!
Supporting SAMH
Walker Laird were delighted to contribute towards such a worthy cause along with the other companies: Clydesdale Bank, AJ Gallagher Insurance, Maxim, Dawnfresh, City Facilities, Wright Johnston MacKenzie, Keepmoat, French Duncan, First Milk and Harper MacLeod.
Congratulations to the winning team, AJ Gallagher Insurance. Walker Laird will be back training soon to hopefully reach the final next year!
SAMH aims to reduce the stigma attached to mental health, promote good mental health and provide invaluable support to those indeed. If you would like to make a donation to support this charity, you can do so by following this link: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jonathan-donnelly1
Walker Laird are fundraising for BBC Children in Need 2016
At Walker Laird, we are always proud to support both local and national charities, throughout the year. We took part in various fundraising events last year, such as Children in Need and Text Santa, and earlier this month we were delighted to once again attend The Business Lunch in Glasgow, supporting the Prince & Princes of Wales Hospice.
Last year, we decided to raise funds for BBC Children in Need, with a dress-down day in our office. Our staff made donations to take part on the day and we were delighted to make a contribution to the charity, which raises funds for disadvantaged young people across the UK. With such a great response from our team, we will once again be swapping our work wear for casual dress tomorrow.
Thank You
We would like to thank everyone who donated last year and we look forward to another great fundraising effort tomorrow.
