Thanks all for your replies! 
Prettybird, hello, I have been around now and again under a different name, but changed back for the oldies thread, good to see you. Really sorry to hear about your mum, that must be very hard for you. My friend was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year, and is being treated in the Southern General, and she will be going in soon to get it removed then get radiotherapy, she has 2 young kids so it will be quite hard going. She wants to raise money for the Neurosciences foundation, due to her treatment at the Southern...to give something back if you like.
Linda and mummy03 any donations would be greatly appreciated, thank you both so much, if you are sure you can spare them, I could meet/pick up from you both, thank you
Suzi, I have approached the ashoka group (is that the same as harlequin?) and also the social animal group, most places at xscape, o2 academy and the theatres so far. Not had a lot of success so far to be honest, but it is still early days.
I have been told that you really need a contact to get anything from celtic/rangers, not sure if this is true, but we are going to give them a go anyway, I actually forgot all about PT, so will try them too, also didn't think about the Rugby, so that's a great idea, thanks.
Anymore ideas gratefully received and thanks so much everyone so far
