ScotRail on track with MND Scotland
The ScotRail Alliance has announced that MND Scotland has been chosen by its employees to be its new nominated charity.
The charity topped an internal poll of nominations from ScotRail Alliance employees, who will raise money for the charity in a variety of events over the next three years.
It is expected that the partnership will be worth at least £150,000 over the three years.
Speaking at the Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research, Rob Shorthouse, the ScotRail Alliance’s communications director, said: “I am absolutely delighted that we will be working with MND Scotland over the course of the next three years.
“I know our 7500 staff will be doing everything they can to raise as much money as possible to help find a cure for this most terrible of diseases.
“However, it is not just about the money that we will raise while we are working together.
“We will also work hard to raise awareness of MND and to help support the people who are living with it.
“MND Scotland is an extraordinary charity doing extraordinary work right across our country.”
Craig Stockton, CEO of MND Scotland, said: “We are thrilled to be named as the ScotRail Alliance’s charity partner.”
