Fundraising for charity
Collectively we raised a tremendous £4495.00
SVS is proud to contribute to CLAN support in Aberdeen, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to helping local communities and the charities that serve them.
As part of our 20th Anniversary celebrations, we hosted a dinner dance where our team, clients, and partners came together not just to celebrate our achievements but also to give back. Throughout the evening, we organised raffles and auctions, with the collective aim of raising funds for four deserving local charities.
Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we raised a remarkable £4,495.00. This total was split evenly, allowing us to donate £1,123.75 to CLAN Cancer Support. On behalf of SVS, our Director Gerry Henry presented the cheque to Maureen Wilson, Communications Manager at CLAN.
Accepting the donation, Maureen said,“We were delighted to receive a kind donation of £1,123.75 from the charity auction held at SVS’s 20th Anniversary dinner dance. This money will allow CLAN Cancer Support to continue delivering person-centred services for anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis in north-east Scotland, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.
“Thanks to donations like this, CLAN provides a wide range of services, including counselling, complementary therapies, support for families, and practical help such as transport and accommodation at CLAN Haven for those receiving treatment in Aberdeen.”
Gerry Henry, Director at SVS, shared:
“We always strive to support local charities, and CLAN holds a special place in the hearts of many here at SVS. Nearly all of us have been affected by cancer in some way—through family, friends, or colleagues. Supporting those living with the challenges of cancer is something we all felt strongly about.”
CLAN Cancer Support is a well-established, local charity providing emotional and practical support to people affected by cancer, their family, carers and friends.
Services are freely offered to all from pre-diagnosis and diagnosis through treatment and beyond at support and wellbeing centres located across north-east Scotland, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.
Our aim is to help people live with and beyond their or their loved ones cancer diagnosis and improve the quality of life for all those who turn to us for help and support.
