Intercontinental The George Hotel added ‘invisible’ chips and coffees to their menus, and so far, their kind customers have raised over £450!

The Dragon Boat Race made a welcome return to the Firth of Forth in August, with both new and returning corporate teams taking part, and collectively raising over £12,000 for the Hospice! Congratulations to the Wave Project, who were worthy winners on the day!
We have also welcomed back many corporate volunteer groups over the summer months including Aegon, Barratt’s, ABRDN, Standard Life, HSBC who have done everything from gardening, painting or shed assembly to car washing.
If you, your colleagues or friends would like to find out more about Dragon Boat Racing, corporate Volunteering, or becoming a charity partner, please email Amanda at asouthey@ stcolumbashospice.org.uk

Did you know..?
Pay Roll Giving/ GAYE (Give as you earn) is a simple but effective way to support St Columba’s Hospice Care. It’s a flexible scheme which allows anyone who pays UK income tax to donate regularly to charities and good causes tax free. Payroll giving donations are deducted from your monthly pay before tax, so each £1 you give will only cost you 80p and if you are a higher rate tax payer it will only cost you 60p. You can speak to your employer if you're interested in supporting the Hospice with a regular monthly payment. Every penny you donate will help the Hospice provide vital care and support to patients and families across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Get Involved!
If you are part of a corporate organisation and would like to know more about a partnership with the Hospice please get in touch with Amanda Southey (asouthey@stcolumbashospice.org.uk).
