A team from Briar Homes will attend Glasgow’s SEC in October for Yellow Yogis, one of the UK’s largest indoor yoga sessions, in a bid to help raise £250,000 for Beatson Cancer Charity.

Spearheaded by Briar Homes director Gillian Quigley, who is a yoga enthusiast, the team will participate in the mass yoga event on 13 September. 

Briar Homes is supporting the event as a Silver Sponsor and joins people and businesses supporting the fundraising for Beatson Cancer Charity.

Participants in the event will have a one-hour class spearheaded by Finlay Wilson, who is an internationally recognised yoga instructor, with the television and radio presenter Jenny Powell serving as the event’s host.

Funding raised through Yellow Yogis will support the cancer charity’s Wellbeing Centre at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. 

The centre gives emotional and practical support for those affected by cancer, providing an area away from clinical areas for patients and families to relax, socialise and to have exposure to supportive activities.

Gillian Quigley, director at Briar Homes, said: “Yellow Yogis is a great way to bring people together while raising money for a cause that makes such a difference to people affected by cancer.

“As someone who enjoys yoga myself, I’m particularly looking forward to getting involved and bringing the team along for what should be a brilliant day at the SEC.”

Quigley added: “We’re pleased to be supporting the event as a Silver Sponsor and hope our involvement can help encourage even more people to get behind the fundraising.”

Briar Homes is also fundraising ahead of the event, with the funds supporting the charity’s work. 

A JustGiving page has been set up by Briar Homes, which can be accessed here.
