Staff from Orkney Islands Council are holding another fundraising day to raise money for charity, following on from a successful event last year which raised £4,500 for CLAN 1-2-3 and local charities. This year the cause to benefit will be Clic Sargent, a charity supporting young persons affected by cancer.

The event is being held at the Pickaquoy Centre on Saturday August 28 from 11am to 4pm.

Other activities planned for the day include a children’s treasure hunt, bouncy castle, paintball, roller skating, trampoline, face painting, Wii games in the cinema and loads more.

Competitions will include ‘Play Your Cards Right’, 'Treasure Map', name the cuddly toys, guess the number of sweets in a jar and others.

There will also be a number of fundraising stalls including a CD/DVD/Games/Toys and book stall, bottle stall, raffle draw and lucky dips.

And if this was not enough,  Orkneycommunities calendars will be on sale on the day, so come and have a look to see what's in them.

News context

Orkney was served by two local newspapers, The Orcadian, and its sister paper Orkney Today, both papers being printed and published in Kirkwall, and coming out on a Thursday, until the Orkney Today was shut down in October 2010. The Orcadian continues, with a healthy circulation of around 10,000.

Further afield, Aberdeen's Press and Journal has a Northern Isles edition and carries Orkney news, and likewise the BBC website has a North East/Northern Isles section, reflecting Orkney and Shetland's traditional transport links with Aberdeen.

Orkneycommunities.co.uk is a focal point for the websites of over 100 community groups, and they can submit their news stories and events directly to its front page. But most news in Orkney emanates from the local authority, the Orkney Islands Council.
