Beatson Cancer Charity has launched its annual ‘Beatson Bauble Appeal’ and is appealing to everyone who has been touched by the incredible care and support provided by The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre and its related facilities to get involved. The charity is encouraging everyone to hang the bright, special Beatson branded festive baubles on their Christmas trees to help make them sparkle that little bit brighter.

Anyone wishing to take part will receive two exclusive Beatson Cancer Charity Baubles, one bauble is to personalise and hang on their own Christmas tree as a memento of their continued support. The second bauble will used to write a message of support or thanks which will be returned to The Beatson along with a donation. This personalised bauble will be proudly hung on one of several trees throughout the cancer centre to be enjoyed by patients, family, staff and supporters.

David Welch, Chief Executive of Beatson Cancer Charity, said: “Christmas is traditionally a time for families and loved ones to get together and create lasting memories. It is easy to forget that some people may not have that opportunity this Christmas.

“That’s why the Beatson Bauble Appeal is so special. It gives people a chance to reflect, and remember those closest to them in their own personal and heartfelt way. Everybody has their own reason to support Beatson Cancer Charity this Christmas, let us hear how the charity has helped you.

“It’s always an incredible sight to see all the Beatson baubles hanging proudly on our Christmas trees and to know that each one represents someone very special. We encourage everyone to get behind Beatson Cancer Charity and make this a big yellow Beatson Christmas to remember.”

All funds raised from the appeal will help the charity provide specialist staff posts including nursing, radiography, physics and research based staff as well as funding enhanced medical equipment, innovative service developments, novel research projects and educational initiatives to support the 8000 new patients who attend the The Beatson and its related facilities each year.
