• Bank you very much

  December 2009

  

  Maggie's Fife was the lucky recipient of £2,000 from the Glenrothes branch of the Clydesdale Bank.
  
  The funds came from a national auction of limited edition and rare banknotes organised by the bank. Maggie Pullar, a long-term member of staff at the local branch, has been visiting Maggie's Fife since her diagnosis of cancer in June 2009, so her colleagues didn't think twice about which charity to nominate - Maggie's Fife! Many thanks to all concerned.
