IT Services Christmas Fundraiser 2024

Wednesday 13 November 2024

Every year, on the run up to Christmas period, the IT Services team have a festive fundraiser. With all the talented photographers and painters in IT Service, this year we decided to ask colleagues in IT Services to submit images for a 2025 fundraising calendar!

Seventy images were submitted, and our fabulous judging panel selected the final twelve images for the calendar.

Our Judges – Lesley Caldwell, Duncan Stewart, Gillian Nicoll and Andy Eccles

We asked our Microsoft 365 User Community to choose their favourite image from the judges top three.  Ross Garnier’s photograph of the Tay Rail Bridge was voted the winner.   Eden Mill kindly donated a bottle of its finest gin as a prize, and Ross will also receive a £50 cash prize. 

The Charity we’re fundraising for

This year we asked our wonderful Facilities Team at Eden Campus to choose a local charity to receive the profits from our fundraiser – and they asked us to support Tayside & North East Fife Children with Cancer & Leukaemia (TCCL).

About Tayside & North East Fife Children with Cancer and Leukaemia

TCCL is a local charity dedicated to supporting children with cancer and leukaemia, as well as their families, within the Tayside and North East Fife regions. The charity provides essential services to help families cope with the challenges of childhood cancer. TCCL’s mission is to ensure that every child and family affected by cancer receives the care and support they need during their difficult journey.
