Massive Support From Retailer Currys

We were delighted to have support from 22 Currys stores across Scotland during the Easter weekend. They all took part in bucket collecting as well as some stores really getting behind the fundraising activities by taking part in cycling challenges, bake stalls and raffles.

The Falkirk store came out top of the leaderboard raising a fabulous £575 with Great Western Road a close second. All stores embraced the challenge, raising a total of £4,019.85 including Gift Aid. Thank you to all the Currys staff and their customers for making it such a successful weekend.

Beat 6 Now Operating From New Location

We are excited to announce the restaurant Beat 6, which previously opened in Dennistoun in 2021 to raise money for Beatson Cancer Charity, has moved to Bearsden.

It is now located at 149 Milngavie Road, offering a delicious combination of unique food and social good. We are very grateful that 100% of the restaurant’s profits come directly to our charity.

The restaurant is run by the team behind Six by Nico and invites guests to “Dine to Donate”. It’ll offer a monthly rotating 4-course set menu that will give diners an interactive and unique dining experience.

Six by Nico and their customers have already raised an incredible £350,000 for Beatson Cancer Charity through a series of team events across their eleven locations in the UK since the collaboration formed in 2021.

Restaurateur Nico Simeone’s wife, Valentina, is one of thousands of Scots who have benefited from being treated at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre.

Nico Simeone said: “We, like many others, have a special place in our hearts for The Beatson, and we will be eternally grateful for everything they do on a daily basis to help change the lives of those affected by cancer.

“Our new Bearsden neighbourhood location will continue to raise vital funds for the charity and the staff to whom we owe so much, while also giving our team the opportunity to be a part of such an important cancer awareness journey.

“Our donations of over £350,000 to date are just the beginning, and Beat 6’s new home in Bearsden is one of the most exciting fundraising initiatives we’ve ever been a part of.”
