Scotland’s biggest circulation newspaper, the Daily Record, and its sister paper
the Sunday Mail are to donate 5p from every paper sold in three towns in North East
Scotland between 6 June and 3 July to Macmillan Cancer Relief.
Money raised will
go to help Macmillan support local people affected by cancer throughout the area.
This will include Macmillan Patient Grants (financial support for patients and their
families) and ongoing development of Macmillan nurses and other health professionals.

Shops in Inverurie, Huntly and Turriff that sell the Daily Record and Sunday Mail
are all taking part in the scheme. Envelopes will be available in these shops for
locals to collect and deposit the barcodes from the newspapers. The barcodes will
then be converted in to cash for Macmillan Cancer Relief.

The scheme has also gained the support of local newspapers. The Inverurie Herald,
Inverurie Advertiser, Turriff Advertiser and Huntly Express have all joined the 
scheme to support the charity.

Unfortunately a search of the Daily Record website today did not reveal any mention
of the Macmillan partnership. Nor was there any evidence of donated banner advertising
for the charity.
