Grant Property gives back this Christmas

Due to the success of last year's Secret Santa for Barnardo's, Grant Property decided this year to spread our generosity over three charities - Barnardo's, Forth 1's Cash for Kids and Rock Trust Edinburgh.

Barnardo's and Forth One Cash for Kids

We were absolutely delighted to support Barnardo’s once again - they truly are an amazing charity who work with over 14,500 vulnerable children, young people and their families across Scotland.

In order to spread the Christmas cheer that bit further, we also decided to support Forth One's Cash for Kids and ASC Ltd's Mission Christmas campaign, which was created in order to make Christmas morning a little bit brighter for disadvantaged local children.

They asked people to buy just one extra present this year – to ensure that children in poverty will wake up to a Christmas with presents

Therefore, we asked our staff, tenants, friends and family to donate new and unwrapped gifts to our head office in Edinburgh so that we could pass them on to Forth One's Cash for Kids and Barnardo's.

As you can see on your right, we were overwhelmed with the response and we really cannot thank you enough for the support.

Rock Trust Edinburgh

As well as donating gifts to Barnardo's and the Mission Christmas campaign, we also supported The Rock Trust Edinburgh, which helps homeless or socially excluded young people in the Lothians to enjoy a better Christmas and a brighter new year.

Their role is to advise, educate and support young people to help them build the personal skills and resources required to make a positive and healthy transition to adulthood.

We asked our team to make a monetary donation or choose an 'ethical' Christmas gift card, whereby you could choose your Christmas gifts from a selection.

In return, you received a gift card to give to your relative or friend. The gift then went to one of the young people that The Rock Trust supports to help turn their house into a home.

We will let you all know how much we raised for The Rock Trust as soon as we have the final total available.

No matter how much we raised, we sincerely hope that we have contributed in some small way to Barnardo's, Forth One's Cash For Kids and The Rock Trust Edinburgh - and we hope that our donations will make it a very Merry Christmas for all this year.

Ding Wins Grant Property Scottish Open

If you were on our social network sites at the weekend, you may well have noticed that Grant Property were the very proud sponsors of the 2012 Scottish Snooker Open.

It was a fantastic opportunity for us and we were absolutely delighted to sponsor the event at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility - the first time it has returned to Scotland since the 2010 World Open in Glasgow.

The Grant Property Scottish Open was televised live on Eurosport and various Chinese TV channels, as well as being streamed via liveworldsnooker.tv and Watch&Bet.

And some of the Grant Property team were lucky enough to enjoy the thrilling final, where China's most successful player ever, Ding Junhui, added to his impressive list of accolades by beating Glaswegian Anthony McGill 4-2.

Local favourite McGill had enjoyed a miraculous run to the final, but much to the crowd's disappointment, came up just short against the more experienced Ding. 

Grant Property CEO and owner, Peter Grant, said: "We’re proud to have played a part in bringing World Snooker back to Scotland.

“It’s been far too long since we had a World Snooker event in Scotland so we were more than happy to lend our support to this one.”

In this article on World Snooker, Ding, who earned the £10,000 top prize, said: "I played well this week, I made a lot of big breaks and concentrated in every game. I've built a lot of confidence here and if I can keep my form going I can win more titles this season."

McGill, who walked away with £5000, said: "I could have been out earlier, [so] to get to the final is a personal best. But I missed too many easy pots in the end. It was my first time in a big arena and I'll deal with it better next time."

If you were lucky enough to be at the Grant Property Scottish Open, let us know what you thought of it on Facebook and Twitter.

And keep your eyes peeled for more Grant Property sponsored events in the very near future.

Form a Cue for the Grant Property Scottish Open

The World Snooker Tour is returning to Scotland for the first time in two years this weekend - and Grant Property is delighted to be playing a huge role in the event as its main sponsor.

The Grant Property Scottish Open, the first World Snooker event in Scotland since the 2010 World Open in Glasgow, kicks off on Friday at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in North Lanarkshire.

It is the fifth event on the new Betfair European Tour and the whole event, from Friday - Sunday, will be televised live on Eurosport, starting with Jimmy White v Liu Chuang.

The giant sports hall at Ravenscraig will be transformed into an arena housing one televised table and ten other tables, and importantly, spectators can move around the matches between frames.

With a winner's cheque for almost £10,000 at stake, plus crucial world ranking and PTC order of merit points up for grabs, a number of snooker's most famous players are expected to be at Ravenscraig this weekend.

To book your tickets go to the World Snooker website or call 01698 274600.
