Aberdeen youngsters jump for joy for good causes

Thousands of children were jumping for joy at the weekend while raising money for good causes.

Big Bounce saw eight inflatables installed on the recently-revamped rooftop garden at Bon Accord & St Nicholas.

Visitors turned out in their droves to support the shopping centre’s fundraising drive for Clan Cancer Support and Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital Charity.

The event was also part of the UK-wide One Great Day initiative.

Food and drinks were on offer as well as music and entertainment which added to the party atmosphere.

Pupils from five classes at Walker Road Primary School also supported the fundraising effort by carrying out a sponsored mini bounce within the garden on Friday.

The pupils each played their part in helping their class jump continuously for 30 minutes.

Craig Stevenson, centre manager at Bon Accord & St Nicholas, said: “We’ve had an amazing three days within the garden and it was so good to see so many smiling faces turn out to help us in our fundraising efforts for two very worthwhile causes.

“I’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped make the weekend such a success.

“We wanted to create an event that was something a bit different for Aberdeen and was one that utilised the new and improved roof garden space as well as appealing to people of all ages.

“We have done just that and will definitely be looking to continue a similar event next year.

“We’re also going to have a smaller bouncy castle available within the garden throughout summer.”
