In 2023/24 ROAR raised an amazing £870 for the RNLI, £1137 for the Blide Trust and £275 for the Orkney MS Society.
They did this by organising a:
- big music night with a charity auction in August
- TV themed quiz in October
- ‘Christmas Roadshow’ for Kirkwall’s care homes and day centres
Eilidh Garrett one of the volunteers said:
ROAR helped me get a feel for volunteering and my favourite part was probably the planning and teamwork parts because it was fun to do things as a group.
Eilidh Walker also took part. She said:
ROAR has boosted my confidence and shown me how entertainment can pull together people of all ages/backgrounds.
