Raymond Jamieson, Young Carers Project coordinator, receives the donation from President Helen. Featured are some of the top sellers of the calendar for which total sales are over 1500.

The PKAVS Young Carers Project is part of the long standing charity PKAVS which supports local children aged 5-18 who have a caring responsibility and aims to allow their young carers to be children first and carers second.

The Rotary Club’s Scottish Night provided an opportunity for PKAVS representatives to receive a cheque of £6,000 from the sale of the calendars.

Young Carers Project coordinator, Raymond Jamieson commented: “We are overwhelmed to have been selected as the principal charity to benefit from the sale of the calendar and cannot thank the members enough for the time and commitment that has gone into creating and selling the calendars. The amount raised is fantastic and the money will allow the project to continue supporting our young carers through the weekly groups we run, school holiday activities and residential trips. We are very proud to be part of such a brilliant fundraising project and have enjoyed working with The Rotary Club of Perth Kinnoull.”

The first ticket drawn on the Scottish Night, for £100, was bought from the PKAVS office which rather rounded off a lot of hard work in the best possible fashion. The two other tickets, both for £50, were sold by a Perth Club Rotarian and at the Farmers Market respectively.
