Fundraising: Bucket Blitz

On Thursday 2nd March twelve volunteers from Digby Brown and Tilney Group headed out onto a very cold Buchanan Street in Glasgow to compete in the first ever SIS Bucket Blitz- a bucket collection with a competitive edge. Pride and the coveted title of ‘SIS Charity Champions’ were at stake, so there was everything to play for.

Glasgow was very busy with shoppers and visitors and our volunteers were extremely enthusiastic, so hopes were high for a good day of collecting. After each team was given an area of Buchanan Street to collect in, everyone set off shortly after 8 a.m. to begin a day of fundraising. Spirits were high throughout the day and shortly after 2pm the teams headed back to the Grand Central Hotel, who had kindly donated a room to SIS to use as our base for the day , to hand in their buckets and t shirts.

After all the money was counted, a fantastic sum of £351.46 was raised by everyone, with Tilney Group being crowned SIS Charity Champions – well done to them.

We would like to thank all of our volunteers who gave up their time on the day and staff at the Grand Central Hotel, who were so helpful on the day.
