These tots were 
made for walking . . .       

By Murray Scougall THE YOUNGSTERS of Kids Play Childcare in Kirkintilloch toddled their way to a great total of £1069 with a walk for our campaignl. Almost 150 children, from as young as six weeks right up to school age, collected sponsorship from friends and family before trekking half-a-mile around the industrial estate where they’re based.

The intrepid walkers of Kirkintilloch  Kids Play Childcare.

Kids Play Childcare arrange charity events every year and money raised is usually split between a charity and nursery funds. But this year staff were determined to raise cash for a second children’s hospice and donated all the sponsor money to our campaign. Charmaine Ness, assistant manager of the nursery, said, “When we voted for a charity to receive the money, CHAS was the clear winner. One of the members of staff had heard a speech given by a Rachel House worker and she was touched. “When everyone else at the nursery heard what good work Rachel House does, and of The Sunday Post’s efforts to help build a second hospice, we knew we had to give the money to the campaign.”
