BIP SOLUTIONS teamed up with the Scottish Government to
donate a cheque to the Scottish Society for Autism's School
at New Struan, Alloa, a charitable boarding school providing
support to children with autism.
Almost £12,000 was raised by members of the Scottish
procurement community attending the Scottish Government’s
National Procurement Conference, organised by BiP and held
at the SECC, Glasgow in October 2007.
BiP also donated ten laptop computers to the school, enabling
older children to study and learn outside of school hours.
Presenting a cheque to the school, Cabinet Secretary for
Finance John Swinney said: “I am delighted to be
able to donate the £12,000 surplus from our National
Procurement Conference held earlier this year. Our partners
BiP also contributed to the donation today and I know the
money will go towards giving even more children with autism
a safe, happy, stimulating environment."
Ron Burges, CEO for BiP, said: “The teachers and
support workers at New Struan do a magnificent job in supporting
autistic children and their families and their dedication
and commitment is inspiring. I would also like to thank
all those from within the procurement community who attended
the event in October and gave so generously to this very
deserving cause.”
