What is the Lions' Den challenge?
Biggart Baillie LLP is one of five law firms based in Scotland taking part in The Lions’ Den Professional Challenge being run by The Prince’s Trust, Scotland. The objective for each Team taking up the Challenge is to raise as much money as possible for The Trust within six months.
All profits made as part of the Challenge will go towards supporting The Trust's work with young people. The Trust helps over 4,000 young people per annum in Scotland to reach their full potential through financial aid, self development opportunities and mentor support.
Each team is being mentored by a leading entrepreneur. Our Team’s mentor is David Gordon, Chief Executive of Windsave Limited.
The Prince’s Trust pledge their support
Biggart Baillie is organising the event to raise money for The Prince's Trust in Scotland. Geraldine Gammell, Director of The Prince’s Trust today praised the Biggart Baillie team for their fundraising activities. She said:
“I am delighted to support Biggart Baillie in the Lions’ Den Challenge for ensuring that “The National Green Day” benefits The Prince’s Trust – Scotland. This event is Scotland’s first ever National Green Day and it will educate us all on what steps we can take in our daily lives to help save the environment. National Green Day is an imaginative, win-win event which offers supporters the opportunity to help both Scotland’s environment and some of its disadvantaged young people through the work of The Prince’s Trust in Scotland.
“The Prince’s Trust exists to help young people overcome the obstacles that face them and ‘get their lives working’. Since the Trust was founded in 1976, it has supported nearly five hundred and fifty thousand young people across the UK. Through practical support, including training, mentoring and financial assistance, it helps fourteen to twenty-five year olds realise their potential and transform their lives. The Trust focuses its efforts on young people who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law. Our work here in Scotland and elsewhere remains as important as ever. Thank you for your invaluable support.”
