Sponsor a prize

Could you support our Brave fundraising with a prize donation? 

We're seeking prizes for our 'Tree of Indulgence' - our luxury raffle that gives entrants a 1-in-10 chance of winning a special treat, like a pamper hamper, voucher or premium whisky - with prizes for the children attending the shows too. 

To donate a physical prize, drop an email to info@friendsofanchor.org. If you'd rather donate an amount of your choosing, we'll use it to buy something special on your behalf, and we'll always shop local, supporting independent businesses.

Every penny counts

All admin costs are fully funded by Balmoral Group

We are in the unique position that every penny of your pounds raised goes directly to the cause. No costs deducted for the fundraising team salaries. Nor for any administration costs. Neither is there a percentage taken from your donation for the running costs involved in operating the fundraising office.

Since the charity was founded in 1997, every penny of these running and administration costs have been fully covered by Balmoral Group. With all these expenses taken care of, your money is freed up to make a direct difference in the lives of  cancer and haematology patients throughout the North-east of Scotland.
