Specialist charity Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland (SBH Scotland) has raised £50,000 at its 29th annual Burns Supper with the help of luxury jeweller Chisholm Hunter.
For nearly three decades, SBH Scotland’s annual evening in honour of the poet has been one of Glasgow’s most successful Burns supper events and was this year, the biggest celebration in the city with over 400 guests in attendance at the Hilton Glasgow.
Since its launch, the charity has raised over £1 million for children, young people and their families affected by spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus.
A long-standing supporter of the charity, Chisholm Hunter has sponsored the annual “A Question of Burns” event for over a decade, and this year donated a range of luxury jewellery and watches along with a two-night stay at Chisholm Hunter’s luxury apartment suites in Edinburgh, for the Grand Draw and auction.
Harry Brown, managing director at Chisholm Hunter, has been a proud supporter of the event and charity for more than 20 years. “The team at SBH Scotland genuinely changes people’s lives, promising to help and support those living with the lifelong conditions of spina bifida and hydrocephalus. They are in inspiration to us all,” he says.
A stunning white gold fancy diamond drop necklace was won by Anjali Ramayya in the grand draw.
Ten watches from Hugo Boss and Armani went to Stuart Dougal and his team from KPMG, who finished top in the Burns-themed quiz.
Laura Dean walked away with a beautiful 9ct white gold diamond oval necklace after finishing top in a game of heads and tails.
