Charity Work

 

Aside from the work of the Boys Brigade that the boys take part in and all the games and other things that are involved it promoting its object, one of the most important tasks that the 223 undertakes is it’s charity work.

There are two ways in which the boys and staff of the 223 raise money for charity and these are through their Bible Class offerings each week and through two annual sponsored events.

The Company section Bible Class offerings are collected every week throughout the session. These offerings are then divided equally between each of the different charities listed below:

 

Eastpark Childrens Home

Scottish Bible Society

R.N.L.I

Multiple Sclerosis Society Scotland

Earl Haig Fund

Marie Curie – Huntershill Home

Glasgow O.P. Welfare Association

Actionaid

Church of Scotland World Mission

 

 

As well as the Bible Class offerings the 223 also hold to annual sponsored events through which money is raised both for a chosen charity and for the funds of the section involved. These to annual sponsored events are:

Junior Section Annual Sponsored Walk

Company Section Annual Sponsored Marathon
