Valerie Ross, Maggie’s head of fundraising, said: “We rely almost entirely on voluntary donations to support our professional programme of cancer support across Scotland.
“This partnership has come at a time when people with cancer need Maggie’s more than ever.”
She added: “We know how difficult this year has been for people living with cancer. We also know that many are still experiencing heightened levels of stress, fear and anxiety because of the knock on impact of the coronavirus.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Royal Bank of Scotland and their customers for helping us to be here with people with cancer, and their family and friends, when they need us most.”
Sandy Watson, regional director for Scotland North & Central, Royal Bank of Scotland said: “We have worked with Maggie’s in the past and colleagues were delighted to be involved again.
“By working together, we’ve raised money for cancer support services at Maggie’s and also helped people in our local community to bank from the comfort of their own homes.”
