Our 62nd lunch was a huge success raising over £25,000 for Mental Health Foundation Scotland with 430 attendees. This will provide much needed funds for a new project to start work with adolescent mothers living in Scotland. This is one area that is under resourced but remains a serious gap in both policy and service provision in Scotland. The prestigious line-up of speakers entertained the guests expertly with anecdotes and moving sentiments. Thanks to all who came and supported it and to all our generous sponsors.
