Hobbycraft Inverness store to boost hospice

MUSICAL fun at an Inverness store will raise funds for Children’s Hospice Association Scotland on Saturday.

Hobbycraft is hosting a musical-themed day of fundraising to mark Children’s Hospice Week.

Staff will be donning pop star fancy dress and hosting a musical makes station, where crafters can have a go at making their own musical instrument.

All funds raised will go to local children’s hospice Children's Hospice Association Scotland - Rachel House, as part of its charity partnership with Together for Short Lives.

Hobbycraft Inverness store manager, Martin Macallister-Hall, said: “We want to amp up our fundraising for Children’s Hospice Week this year, by tuning into our inner pop stars!

"Join us in store for music themed dress up and crafts, raising invaluable awareness and loads of money so that Children's Hospice Association Scotland - Rachel House can continue their life changing work.”

Together for Short Lives helps children and young people expected to have short lives. Children's Hospice Week is the UK's only awareness and fundraising week for children with life-shortening conditions, and their families, and the children’s hospices that support them.
