My name is Pat Maxwell and I am a Young Persons' Counsellor working alongside East Glasgow CAMHS. Throughout my role over the past 11 years I have listened to the voices of children and young people as they have shared their difficult struggles and experiences with me. This has illustrated to me the impact that such experiences can have on the mental health and well-being of children and young people. Because of this I have become interested in promoting and supporting research that allows us to understand how these experiences impact on children and young people so that we can develop a deeper understanding and more effective strategies for support.
I am raising funds for ACE centre, a clinical and research centre committed to developing our knowledge in this area whilst supporting children and young people.
I was originally planning to participate again in the Women's 10K in Glasgow after raising over £500 last year for the ACE Centre. Unfortunately, due to a recent injury I am unable to participate this year. However, I had hoped to include a raffle in my fundraising strategy and would like to put this forward as a stand alone fund raising opportunity:
Please donate as much or as little as you wish. Those who donate £5 or more will be entered into a raffle offering the following prizes. Four names will be selected at random before the 30th June 2017.
1st Prize - £100 cash on a plate.
2nd Prize - Overnight stay in a luxury lodge on the Isle of Arran.
3rd Prize - Mr Tunnocks famous teacakes - 3 boxes
4th Prize - From Humble Pie Cupcake Shop (Bothwell) - voucher for a box of cupcakes
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.
Best wishes,
Pat
