Staff and students from the University of Dundee raised £740 for Radio Tay’s ‘Cash For Kids’ during the charity’s Bring a Pound To Work Day on June 30 this year.

Graham Nicholson, Director of the University’s Careers Service, and Natalie Coupar, Vice-President Communications of Dundee University Students Association (DUSA) attended Radio Tay’s headquarters in North Isla Street to hand over the cash to the station's Stuart Webster.

Radio Tay has been raising money for local youngsters for more than two decades. Cash For Kids was established to channel the caring of a big-hearted community into the welfare of their own youngsters and raised in excess of £200,000 in the Tayside and Fife areas last year.

The campaign assists around 25,000 children and young people most in need or at risk every year. With cash raised locally and spent locally, Cash For Kids guarantees fundraisers that their generous donation will go to bring, hope, healing or happiness to someone in their local communities.
