Two Edinburgh locals have turned milestone birthday celebrations into a fundraising effort, raising £9,000 for the city’s breast-cancer charity, House of Hope.
The fundraising event was staged at Cold Town House in Edinburgh’s Grassmarket and hosted by Louise Maclean from Edinburgh-based hospitality firm, Signature Group and Janet Nicol, owner of McGregor Hairdressing. Over 100 people attended.
The event was compered by former Scotland international rugby-union player, Andy Nicol, and featured a three-course meal, a fashion show by Tigerlily Boutique, live music and an auction with donated prizes.
Lisa Fleming, founder of House of Hope, said: “The House of Hope has become a much-needed haven for people living with primary and secondary breast cancer. As someone living with terminal breast cancer myself, I understand just how vital it is to have a safe, supportive space where people can access expert guidance, compassion and community.
“We rely on the kindness and generosity of people like Louise and Janet, whose incredible effort and spirit have helped us continue to grow as we approach our first anniversary.
“Their support means we can be there for more people when they need us most, offering hope, strength and understanding as well as physical support at every stage of their journey.”
