Sue Ryder Neurological Care Centre Dee View Court receives generous donation just in time for Christmas
Christmas has certainly come early to Sue Ryder Neurological Care Centre Dee View Court, with the centre receiving a substantial sum to help fund its expansion, doubling its capacity and allowing it to deliver more care to more people with neurological conditions and acquired brain injury.
Expert care and rehabilitation
Local, well known businessman, Ian Suttie and his wife, Dorothy, have gifted the charity a sizeable donation, spreading Christmas cheer throughout the centre and ensuring that it will be equipped with a wide range of facilities to help support the delivery of the expert care and rehabilitation to people living with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s and multiple sclerosis as well as those with acquired brain injuries.
In June 2017 Dee View Court launched its capital appeal to raise £3.9 million to extend the centre and provide care and support for twenty more people. This latest cash injection has propelled the charity towards the finish line, with £250,000 outstanding, which the charity hopes to raise via upcoming challenge event, the Adrenaline Drop and fundraising Rugby dinner, attended by Scottish international rugby legends, past and present.
“As Aberdonians, it is a pleasure to be able to make such a donation, knowing that our contribution will help with the delivery of specialist care to people in our community, and across Scotland, living with life changing neurological conditions or acquired brain injuries.”
Commenting on their generous contribution to the Dee View Court Appeal, Mr and Mrs Suttie said: “As Aberdonians, it is a pleasure to be able to make such a donation, knowing that our contribution will help with the delivery of specialist care to people in our community, and across Scotland, living with life changing neurological conditions or acquired brain injuries.”
Also commenting on the gift, Valerie Maxwell, Centre Director for Sue Ryder Neurological Care Centre Dee View Court said; "We are absolutely delighted that in this, the season of goodwill, the Sutties have made such a generous contribution to the Dee View Court Appeal."
