Have you ever wanted to have lunch with Nicola Sturgeon or to go on a pub crawl with Ian Rankin? Well, now could be your chance.
Scottish Circles will auction off both along with other unusual prizes including handwritten lyrics by Annie Lennox and a Fiat 500 Pop at its fundraiser, Sowing Seeds, Growing Futures, in Glasgow on Saturday, September 12.
Ex-Garbage Shirley Manson will also make her return to the Scots stage with new band Angelfish at the fundraiser.
The event, which will be hosted by Muriel Gray, aims to raise £50,000 for women-centred projects in Rwanda and Nepal and is being held in partnership with the David Williamson Rwanda Foundation.
Manson said: "I am honoured to be performing at the Sowing Seeds event in Glasgow on Saturday night and am grateful to everyone for supporting The David Williamson Foundation.
"I have known Morag, David Williamson's widow for over 30 years. Through her I was lucky enough to meet David and I recognised what a remarkable person he was. He would be very proud of Morag for everything she continues to do for the women and coffee co-operatives in Rwanda in his name."
Farah Khushi, Scottish Circles founder, said: "This weekend's event is coming together to be something very special. Not only do we have an exclusive performance from Shirley Manson, but there will also be a live auction on the night with fantastic money-can't-buy prizes, such as lunch with the first Minister of Scotland. I mean, wow!
"Women-centred projects are something that are very close to my heart, so I hope people come down to the event, dig deep and have a fantastic night for a truly special cause."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
