Fundraising Manager - Bob Blewitt

Strathcarron Hospice's Appeal Director, Bob Blewitt said, "It costs in excess of £2.5 million each year for us to care for patients and their families, with the majority of these funds contributed through public donation.

Bob Blewitt, fundraising manager at Strathcarron Hospice, said that the event was a massive success."Everything went superbly well," he added.

Strathcarron's fundraising manager Bob Blewitt, seated centre, said that the donation has been very gratefully received as the hospice needs £3.5 million a year to operate.He said: "The college raises money every year and their support is fantastic."

The night also includes Santa, free presents, street acts and Bob Blewett of Strathcarron Hospice.

Bob Blewitt, Strathcarron's Fund Raising Manager will accept the cheque on behalf of the hospice.

Councillor Carrick said: "I am delighted to hand this cheque over to Strathcarron Hospice.I was thrilled when the Wee County topped the Scottish recycling league table because so many householders have taken part in the scheme.

"This is the first recycling payment we have made to a local charity, but I hope as even more local people take the reduce, reuse and recycle message to heart we will be able to raise even more money for local good causes."

Mr Blewitt added: "We are grateful to all the people in Clackmannanshire who have contributed towards this donation by recognising the benefits of recycling, both to the environment and to local charities."

Last year in Clackmannanshire a record 13,240 tonnes of waste was recycled, a huge increase of 11,000 tonnes on the 2003/04 figures.

Mr Blewitt also paid tribute to the "small army of volunteers" in Dollar who have recycled paper in aid of the hospice for a number of years, raising thousands of pounds in the process.
