Carol Smillie works with a select number of charities primarily involved in the welfare of children.
She would encourage everyone to contribute to these charities. You can find out more by clicking on the logos of the charities below.
Carol Smillie receives a cheque for £47,000 from Wickes Focus Group on behalf of the Variety Club of Scotland and is helped by Nicolle Paterson of Eastmuir School in Glasgow.
"In my job I am asked to do a lot of charity work but due to a very heavy work load, and balancing my time as a wife and mum, I can only be involved with a few charities. One of those is Rachel House. The charity, the Children’s Hospice Association Scotland, needs to raise £10 million to build a second children’s hospice for Scotland, and I intend to play a part in supporting the appeal as and when I can. I hope other Scots will join me in ensuring the success of this venture."
