Chris Douglas, Deputy Manager of the Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor, popped into the studio last week to present the first cheque of funds raised by the hotel for Radio Lollipop Edinburgh.

The cheque was for a fantastic £1457 and there are still more funds to come, as the hotel continue to raise money for the charity with events such as the Hilton Around the World Day which included a sponsored cycle ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh.

Radio Lollipop Edinburgh is the nominated charity of the Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor. The hotel raises money as part of Hilton in the Community Foundation’s work. Hilton in the Community Foundation was founded in 2000 as Hilton Hotels’ charity dedicated to supporting young people in need. Focused on disabled children, children in hospitals and hospices and homelessness, grants supporting disadvantaged young people are made in the UK and Ireland.

Trailfinders have also been raising funds for Radio Lollipop Edinburgh and recently completed the Hairy Haggis relay marathon on behalf of the charity. The Trailfinders team raised an amazing £3000 for Radio Lollipop.

All of the volunteers at Radio Lollipop Edinburgh would like to thank the Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor and Trailfinders for their continued support.
