Famed Glasgow restaurateur Satty Singh of Mr Singh’s India blazed a trail at the city’s Army Personnel Centre recently as he cooked and donated chicken bhuna and chickpea dhal in aid of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.
The event raised nearly £1,100 to help fund SSAFA’s work in Scotland.
The lunch was organised by SSAFA Glasgow and Renfrewshire volunteer Mike, who said:
“I’m just delighted at how much was raised.
“Sadly, we’ve all seen those in the Armed Forces community – serving or retired, Regulars or Reserves, or their families – who are struggling, but SSAFA knows that no-one should have to battle on alone and this £1,100 will go towards making sure that we’re there in Scotland to help people when and where we need to.”
RSM Nigel Saul – who completed the recent Glasgow Kiltwalk for SSAFA – added:
“I’d just like to say a big personal thank you for your support with the event, I have had many people speak to me and say it was a fantastic event and great to see it back in the building.”
SSAFA in Scotland is always on the lookout for fundraisers, volunteers, and innovative new partnerships. To find out more, ssafa.org.uk/scotland.
