One of Scotland’s leading gas and electrical contracting businesses, Bellshill-based Saltire Facilities Management, tee’d off another Summer of charity at its annual corporate golf day on Friday. The company event which has been running for over a decade, raises money for long-standing charity partner, St. Andrews Hospice.
Saltire, which delivers central heating and electrical services on behalf of local authority, social housing and private sectors, decided to drive forward their generosity this year by adding a second beneficiary, Beatson Cancer Charity, with all funds raised for at the Golf Day for St. Andrews Hospice, matched by the business.
The event which took place on Friday 14th July at Airdrie Golf Course saw Saltire employees, supplier representatives, and customers come together to raise money for the two worthy causes. The event raised a total of £2,130, which was matched by Saltire.
St. Andrews Hospice, a specialist palliative care service operating in Lanarkshire, provides support for those with life-limiting illnesses, and their families and has been a beneficiary of the charity efforts of Saltire for many years.
Beatson Cancer Charity offers wrap-around support for those affected by cancer, including the sufferer, and their families. The charity was recently adopted by Saltire after two employees were diagnosed with the disease, and are currently receiving treatment.
Speaking of the golf day, Saltire Engineering Supervisor and organiser of the event, Frankie Gallagher commented; “It is great to be able to continue supporting St. Andrews Hospice, and extend this support to Beatson too, as a team we love getting behind charitable organisations and supporting the great work that they do. On behalf of Saltire, I wish to extend our appreciation to everyone who supported the Golf Day and both of our chosen charity partners, the money raised will get put to great use.”
