Maggie's Aberdeen Jail or Bail · 21 February 2025 ·

Fourteen local business leaders have been found guilty of outrageous charges and locked up for Maggie's Aberdeen. With only a phone, laptop and their powers of persuasion, they now need your help to raise funds to pay their bail and escape jail.

Story

I am one of fourteen local Business leaders who have been put behind bars for Maggie's. I've been found guilty of my unwavering commitment to playing country rock at any given opportunity and sent down with bail set at a minimum of £1,000.

With only my phone, laptop and my powers of persuasion, I need your help to raise funds to pay bail and escape jail!

Giving back to the local community has always been important to me, and one of the reasons I started my own business was so I could support incredible charities like Maggie’s Aberdeen. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of providing AV equipment for Maggie’s events, and it’s been amazing to see the incredible work they do and the funds they raise in so many creative ways.

So, when I was asked to take part in Maggie’s Jail & Bail, it was an absolute honour. Maggie’s provides life-changing support for people with cancer and their families—offering emotional, practical, and social care, completely free of charge. Their doors are always open, and the impact they have is truly inspiring.

Now, it’s my turn to do my bit! I’ll be getting "locked up" for a great cause, and I need your help to make bail. Every donation, big or small, will go directly towards helping Maggie’s continue their incredible work.

For many people living in the Northeast, Maggie's Aberdeen is a beacon of hope, offering a unique programme of practical and psychological support, available free of charge to people at any stage and with any type of cancer, and to their family and friends.

Maggie’s Aberdeen doors opened in 2013 and by the end of 2025 they expect to have welcomed and supported over 100,000 visits, delivered thousands of one-to-one psychologist sessions, and secured over £11 million in financial benefits for local people. They rely entirely on voluntary donations and gifts in wills to fund their work, and with instances of cancer 1 in 2 people, there is huge demand for the support they provide.

Please donate to bail me out (or keep me in!) and support Maggie’s – every £ will help.
