Beatson Belle

We hosted this new event in 2021 and had a fantastic time on the exquisite Northern Belle train. 270 guests enjoyed a wonderful afternoon travelling through Scotland and taking in the scenery. This was a magical trip for our supporters to enjoy while tucking into a 4-course lunch and champagne. They enjoyed on-board entertainment and each guest took home a festive gift.

We re-launched our Beatson Tartan and expanded our range of products.

Beanntan Fashion project

We worked alongside Glasgow Caledonian University and Slanj to create a lifestyle product for Beatson Cancer Charity. The product had to include our bespoke Beatson Tartan and ensure that it can be manufactured locally and would be sold to raise funds for cancer patients and their families in Scotland.

Fashion students were tasked with designing a lifestyle product range for Beatson Cancer Charity, which they had to pitch to a panel of judges. Isabel Marinho won the competition with her range called ‘Beanntan’ which is Gaelic for mountains. The range of outdoor clothing was inspired by the journey cancer patients and their families go through. Isabel received £500 from competition sponsor Curtis Moore Ltd to further develop her winning concept, which incorporated the charity’s official tartan. She also received £250 prize money, which she very generously donated back to our charity.

Beatson Rewards

“The idea behind the range was to reflect the journey cancer patients, their families and friends go through. I have a personal connection to the charity because every woman in my family has had breast cancer. I think this made it extra emotional for me and I had a kind of flashback to everything my family had been through when I heard that I’d won.”

We launched our exclusive membership card that gives discounts across five different categories; Hotel and Travel, Health, Beauty and Wellbeing, Events and Experiences, Bars and Restaurants and Shop Local. The membership card is just £20 per year and is an opportunity for supporters to continue to raise funds whilst getting something back in return.

Café

The Beatson Café provides refreshments and is a safe place for patients and families to spend time together. It is run by staff with support from a team of volunteers. Most food is freshly prepared daily onsite and follows food preparation guidance from the recently introduced legislation of Natasha’s Law.
