In my job I am asked to do a lot of charity work but due to a very heavy work load, and balancing my time as a wife and mum, I can only be involved with a few charities. One of those is Rachel House which is run by the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS). It costs the charity almost £5 million each year to run Rachel House, Robin House and the Rachel House at Home services. I intend to play a part in supporting CHAS as and when I can. I hope other Scots will join me in ensuring the success of this charity."
