Project funded by the Big Lottery, off on tour.

June 3, 2008 - PRLog -- The 1st in Britain’s Mobile Family Information and Education Centre created by Grandparents Apart UK will be setting off on Monday 9th June 2008 on a tour of Scotland. The (Investing in ideas section) of the Big Lottery has awarded the group a grant of £10,000.00p to develop the project further. The idea for the project came from Jimmy Deuchars the founder of the group in Glasgow.

Our groups were involved along with the Scottish Government in the creation of 'The Charter for Grandchildren' and 'The Parenting Agreement' which we will be promoting along with other family literature everywhere we go.

With balloons attached and blowing in the wind we will be leaving Sunny Govan Radio Station, 249 Govan Road Glasgow around 9.30am proceeding to George Square for 10.am where millions will be seeing us off.

Scottish Media crews will be welcomed to record and interview Jimmy and Margaret Deuchars along with dodgy their Star pet rabbit who is going along with them rather than upset him by putting him into care. You can view Dodgy’s rise to fame on http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=ag5if22n0WE

Grandparents Apart UK is a Scottish Registered Charity staffed completely by volunteers and has another group in Kilmarnock. A group in Chorley and one in Plymouth have asked us to assist them in a similar set up and we have in the past helped other groups in setting up.
