MEDIA TURNS ATTENTION TO BIELD’S FANCY DRESS FUNDRAISING WALK

Bield‘s Brae Court, a Very Sheltered Housing development, quickly attracted the media’s attention after residents and staff went above and beyond for charities close to their heart by taking part in a charity walk.

The 30 strong group, which also included friends and family of the development in Linlithgow, represented a huge spectre of ages from two to 67 years old, all doing their bit for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland and Rachel House Hospice.

The generous team, some of whom donned impressive fancy dress outfits for the event, walked 2.3 miles around Linlithgow Loch raising £1510 in the process.

Here at Holyrood PR, we recognise the kind of event that attracts media attention and were quick to spread the news of this inspirational story achieving both national and regional coverage for Scotland’s leading care and housing provider.
