Auction:10 Dec, start 6pm

Joseph Pearce’s Bar,23 Elm Row,Edinburgh

It’s easy to forget thatmany children and youngpeople in society need oursupport and protection.Barnardo’s Scotlandbelieves in the potential ofevery child and youngperson, no matter whothey are, what they havedone or what they havebeen through. Bysupporting the Barnardo’sScotland Art Auction atJoseph Pearce’s Bar, youwill be helping children inEdinburgh to achieve their full potential.

The Auction will take place onWednesday 10th December and all the money raised will go to thechildren who are resident atBarnardo’s RAFT Project. RAFT is a residential service forchildren who have been removedfrom their families for their ownsafety. When they get to RAFT,these children are given stabilityand continuity, in a residentialsetting as much like a familyhome as possible. When theymove on from RAFT to specialistfoster carers they will have thetools to be able to join a stableand loving family, who can meettheir needs and support them.

Because these young childrenhave had very few chances torelax and enjoy themselves andjust be kids, each year Barnardo’sScotland provides a well-deservedsummer holiday allowing them achance to build friendships, learnabout teamwork, enjoy fresh airand exercise and ultimately havefun. Most of us are lucky enoughto have happy memories of

childhood and summer holidaysand we can often underestimatehow much of an impact these haveon a child’s development andwellbeing. Through the 2008 ArtAuction, you could raise enoughmoney to fund a holiday for thechildren at RAFT and give theman experience they won’t forget.

There will be an opportunity toview the work from Wednesday12th November when it will beexhibited at Joseph Pearce’s Bar.
