McMillan Hands over Charity Cheque

Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) has recently handed over a charity cheque of £140 to Chris Jewell, Co-ordinator, Dreams Come True Inverclyde.

Mr McMillan was providing the charity cheque to Dreams Come True Inverclyde after participating in an event at Big on the Beach, Ardrossan. Mr McMillan who is Convenor of the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group on Recreational Boating and Marine Tourism took part in the annual Tin Bath Championships.

Mr McMillan said;

“Taking part in the recent Tin Bath Championships was a very enjoyable, if not wet, experience.

“However, the event was in aid of good causes and I am delighted to be able to handover a cheque to Dreams Come True Inverclyde for £140.

“The organisation is providing much needed joy to young people in Inverclyde and this is very much welcomed.”


Chris Jewell, Co-ordinator, Dreams Come True Inverclyde said;

“Considerable thanks go to Stuart for this great fundraising effort which will help provide dreams for sick Inverclyde children and young people.

“We have just had our first dream application accepted for Shay Quigley, a young lad from Inverkip, who has had very severe medical problems. He is going to the LG Arena in Birmingham in November to watch WWE Smackdown which is his dream and is already climbing the walls in anticipation!”
