IoR Scotland dinner benefits charities

UK: The return of the IoR Scottish branch dinner in November provided a £4,000 boost for charity.

As in previous years, the proceeds of the raffle at this sell-out annual event are donated to charity. The November raffle raised just over £3,800, with the IoR Scotland committee boosting the figure to £4,000.

This year the money was split between the SSAFA, the armed forces charity, and St Andrew’s Hospice, a Lanarkshire-based charity providing specialist palliative care to people living with life-limiting illnesses.
