Barbie boost for Maggie's cancer centre

A BARBECUE is to be held in The Royal Terrace Hotel Gardens to raise funds for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre in Edinburgh.

The event is being organised by The PA Exchange and Zest Health and Beauty and half the proceeds will go to the cancer charity.

Marion Taylor, Maggie's Edinburgh fundraiser co-ordinator, said: "This generous donation will enable us to continue providing information and support to people affected by cancer.

"Maggie's is entirely funded by public donations which is where you can make a difference by choosing to buy a ticket and show your support for this unique and highly enjoyable fundraising event."

Sarah Finlay, of The Royal Terrace Hotel, said: "We're delighted to be hosting this event for Maggie's Edinburgh where we can not only raise funds but awareness of the centre and the outstanding cancer care support they offer across the country within our local business community."

Guests will be offered skin analysis treatment by Zest, while PA Exchange will be offering discounted goods at the barbecue on June 19, from 6pm to 9pm.

Tickets cost £10 per PA exchange member and £12 all other guests.
