National Events Committee

Raising awareness and funds

The National Events Committee promotes awareness of the charity and its funding needs through a wide spectrum of high profile events.

With the help of distinguished members of the public, the events attract broad media coverage and maximise corporate promotion and sponsorship.

The committee has established a number of annual events, including the Turn the Tables lunch and the Carol Concert, which alternates between St Paul's and Glasgow Cathedrals.
