A group of staff members from Dungavel House Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) recently skydived for charity. Gill Duffy, Angela Dorman, Chris Atkinson, and Mark McGhee jumped for Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, while Kayleigh Flynn continued her annual fundraising and jumped for Pancreatic Cancer Scotland in memory of her mum.
Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity funds enhance equipment and services at the Royal Hospital for children to ensure that all of their young patients receive the best possible care.
Pancreatic Cancer Scotland offers funding both to individual researchers and to research centres across Scotland to encourage and support their long-term goal of developing effective treatments and improving survival rates of those suffering from pancreatic cancer in Scotland.
The total donations received from staff, friends, family, and the union reached over £2,000. Joanne Henney, Chief Operating Officer for The GEO Group UK Ltd, commented, "I would like to congratulate the staff for their bravery and dedication in supporting local charities. They are a credit to Dungavel House IRC and The GEO Group UK Ltd."
