Fiona Hyslop Urges Constituents To Put Kettle On For Charity
Monday, 20 September 2010
SNP MSP Fiona Hyslop is backing the Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning on the 24th of September. It is the 20th year of the event which runs for Macmillan Cancer Support. Fiona is keen for her constituents to get involved with this event so that the goal of £8m UK-wide can possibly be achieved.
Fiona said:
“I am delighted to be holding a coffee afternoon for such a worthwhile cause. I would like to invite any of my constituents to drop in for the event in my office on West Main Street in Whitburn on Friday 24th of September from 1pm till 3pm.
“Sadly, cancer affects more people every year and so the Macmillan Charity is essential to provide support for all those affected by the illness.
“The West Lothian Macmillan Advice Team do an admirable job providing information and support not only to cancer patients but also to their family and carers.
“I would also like to encourage the people of West Lothian to hold their own coffee morning. It’s a great way to raise money and increase the awareness of the charity. All of the money raised goes to people who really need it.”
