Cancer Research UK Collection
Dear Waternish ResidentsMost of us have been affected by cancer in some shape or form and Cancer Research UK undertake pioneering work into how to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. As in previous years, in the month of March, volunteers from Waternish will be doing door to door collections for the local branch of Cancer Research UK. We will have collecting tins and will be out and about during daylight hours when weather and time permits. The collectors who will be knocking on your doors are Janice Martin, Duncan Martin, Pat Matheson, Lesley MacLean and Cathy Myhill. We would be delighted if anyone else would care to join us – it’s a great way to wander around Waternish and meet your neighbours !In these days of electronic payment methods, many of us don’t have cash lying around so we are giving you a wee bit of notice in case you want to obtain cash for the collecting tins. Alternatively you can make a payment direct to the Skye branch account held in the RBS in Portree. Sort code 83-26-19, account number 00281554.You can also donate online at https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/get-involved/donate and this method enables you to add Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer.If you are not in when we call but would like to donate, you can drop your donation off at Lesley’s porch (Trumpan Cottage - last house on the right, top road at Trumpan). A box will be left there for donations.
