ART EXHIBITION IS MAJOR DRAW
TO SAVE CHILDREN’S LIVES

Save the Children’s
flagship store on South Bridge
is holding a unique Art Exhibition and Sale as part of ‘Save the Children Week’, on
Thursday 1 May from 7pm-9pm. The paintings are the work of Kate Drummond, a
volunteer in the shop who has years of experience of painting
watercolours.

Everyone is invited
and asked to bring along their art-loving friends. Entrance is free and
refreshments will be provided.

Danny McGill, Save the Children‘s
South
Bridge Shop Manager,
said:

“This is great
opportunity to get your hands on a unique, affordable piece of artwork, whilst
helping save children’s lives. These beautiful paintings will raise money which
will go towards water purification tablets, to provide safe drinking water for
children, or a treated mosquito net to prevent a child catching life-threatening
malaria”.

Save the Children
week is Save the Children’s annual fundraising week. This year the charity is
raising money to save ten million children’s lives around the world.

Children

Notes to
Editors:

Save the Children is
the world’s independent children’s charity. We’re outraged that millions of
children are still denied proper healthcare, food, education and protection.
We’re working flat out to get every child their rights and we’re determined to
make further, faster changes. How many? How fast? It’s up to you.
