Workers at Faslane have raised nearly £3,000 for the Robin House children’s hospice in Balloch.
Members of the Ministry of Defence’s Guard Service’s Yellow Watch were out and about collecting cash during their annual ‘bring a pound to work day’.
Kind-hearted workers at HM Naval Base Clyde dug deep and a total of £2,758.60 was collected for the charity.
Stevie Pursley, one of the guards who organised the event, said: “We have been raising money for CHAS for a number of years now at the site and I’m very happy to say that we topped last year’s total of £2,200.
“We received a lovely letter from the charity thanking us for all our support over the years so I’d like to pass on that thanks to everyone who got behind the charity and contributed and to Babcock who kick-started us with a £500 donation.”
Opened in 2005, Robin House offers a purpose-built ‘home from home’ with accommodation for eight families across Scotland at any one time.
Expert care is on hand to help them make the most of each day and live life to the full.
