I hope my involvement helps to highlight such a worthy cause and the efforts made by Browns who, together with all their lovely customers in Edinburgh, have helped to raise this amount for such a fantastic charity.”
Svetlana Kirov, the NSPCC’s Head of Corporate Partnerships, said: “I’m delighted to accept this cheque on behalf of the NSPCC and I can’t thank Browns enough for their amazing support. I’d especially like to thank all the customers in Edinburgh, who by dining out as a Friend of Browns, helped raise vital funds to support our work in protecting vulnerable children and preventing abuse.”
Simon King, National Retail Director for Browns Bar & Brasserie, said: “I’m so proud to be able to donate such a significant amount of money for the NSPCC. Keeping children safe from harm and abuse is a cause close to the hearts of us all in Browns from employees to customers and I know our donation will help make a difference to the lives of the most vulnerable children. Our customers helped raise this amount by coming in and sampling our new menu and as always, we are grateful to them.”
