It seems lately I’ve been hearing about many marathons for various charities. In fact I 
had a few friends take part recently, they trained really hard and raised brilliant amounts of money for their chosen causes, a massive well done to them all!
Anyway I got to thinking about this, and as running is not my forte I decided to do a little research into singing to raise funds for worthy causes. People carol sing at Christmas and raise funds at different times throughout the year by singing, which is fantastic, and there are more people out there doing this than I anticipated there would be, which was a nice surprise.
As many of you will know, our next big Scotland Sings Weekend is 29th November – 1st December, so I thought I would post some links on here for anyone interested in singing to support our project, and perhaps doubling up as a fundraiser for either your own group, or cause. We can publicise your event completely free through the Scotland Sings website and social media. Some of our past events have even received national coverage in various newspapers. This is a great way to take part in Scotland Sings and raise money for your chosen charity!
To join in with Scotland Sings you can tell us about your event by filling in this short form. http://projects.handsupfortrad.scot/scotlandsings/add-your-event-to-our-scotland-sings-whats-on-page/
It doesn’t have to be for charity it can just be for fun! Help us to establish Scotland as ‘The Singing Nation’ and join in this St Andrew’s Weekend, wherever you are in the world!
