S howtime Diamonds..................................................... Champagne reception................... Joseph Bonnar Jewellers, Edinburgh Harvey Nichols and James Thomson OBE Entertainment............................................ Will Pickvance’s Jazz Band, The Box, MGA Academy and Sugartown HRH The Duchess of Cornwall Lady Goodwin –Chair A message from Barnardo’s President Barnardo’s Scotland Development Board Deputy Chair and Showtime Chair I have been involved now with Barnardo’s for the past five years and have come to understand the tremendous breadth and depth of the work they do nationally but particularly here in Scotland. We have moved on fortunately from the days of large orphanages, but there are still a tremendous number of children and young people whose lives are chaotic and unhappy, who do not have the support of a loving family or who are not equipped to deal with the pressures of everyday life. I think we are all aware that there are children and young people who are abused or neglected or who become involved with drugs, alcohol or crime, but very few of us ever have any real contact with this part of life. © Mario Testino I am struck again and again by the way in which these children are taken under the Barnardo’s wing, often when everything else has failed. We will hear tonight from Danielle whose life has taken her down this path, of the many false starts she has had in trying to sort out her life, and how the intervention of Barnardo’s has helped her to finally turn her life around. The money we raise tonight will go directly towards helping these young people with finding somewhere safe to live, with counselling or employment – whatever is needed to break the cycle. Help us to show that, like Barnardo’s, we really do ‘Believe in Children’. I would like to thank everyone involved with Showtime: our generous donors and sponsors (without whom we could do nothing), our volunteers, and our wonderful (and glamorous) Showtime Committee for all their unstinting efforts. Thank you all for being here, and for helping us to support the work of Barnardo’s tonight. Joyce Goodwin 4 5 Jo Caulfield www.themgaacademy.com Master of Ceremonies We are delighted to welcome Jo Caulfield as our Master of Ceremonies this evening.
