The members of 25 of the Rotary Clubs in and around Aberdeen generously donate their time annually to support a charity via their annual raffle and are gifted space within the city’s Bon Accord to highlight this and sell tickets.

Susan Crighton, Charlie House director, said: “We are so grateful to the Rotary Clubs for their on-going support and the incredible team at Bon Accord who selected us as their charity partner at the beginning of the year.

“We had many exciting events scheduled in partnership with Bon Accord for 2020 and sadly most of these have been cancelled in light of the corona virus but, the annual Rotary raffle is one which we can now welcome and really hope that people will return to the centre to not only support all of the retail units but to also drop by to purchase one of the tickets.

“We could all do with a little bit of hope and excitement right now. We wish everyone the best of luck for the raffle which will be drawn on Christmas Eve.“
