Aaron Purewal will help support the Hope Project Scotland’s activities through his social media channels, and attending member events
Glasgow, UK., (June 30, 2022) – Aaron Purewal, a 22-year winger from Glasgow, has become the first-ever Hope Project Scotland Ambassador. A Scotland under 19 rugby player, Purewal has been a long-term admirer of the Hope Project Scotland’s work.
On a momentous occasion for the young charity, Purewal said:
“I would like to express that I’m truly honoured to be part of such an amazing charity such as the Hope Project Scotland. When I was approached to take on the role as ambassador for this great charity I decided to dig deep into backdrop of why this charity is something I would like to be involved in. Throughout this time, I have been educated on sickle cell anemia, how it can effect family’s and also day to day life of the people effected.”
Purewal praised the charity for having a ‘family-like’ atmosphere and has been moved by the many stories that he has learnt about after attending a few member’s meetings. The charity is working on more key partnerships with key members from various walks of life who will be known as ‘Hope Ambassadors’.
Christine Membi, co-founder and COO, The Hope Project Scotland said: “After years of hard work behind the scenes we are elated to have Aaron Purewal as the first-ever Hope Ambassador for the Hope Project Scotland. We are privileged that someone of Purewal’s pedigree has agreed to lend his shoulder to the wheel in spreading awareness about sickle cell disease. All staff, volunteers, and members of the Hope Project Scotland would like to give a warm welcome to Purewal, and we wish him all the best with his personal goals.”
Founded in 2016, The Hope Project Scotland recently launched a revamped website offering added services such as physical and mental health support to patients and families battling sickle cell disease. The overwhelming response for the charity’s services means expansion is on the cards. Along with the launch of a strategic approach to reaching its target audience, the board of directors is seeking funds to support its activities.
The Hope Project Scotland has also appealed to the wider audience to support its cause in spreading awareness about sickle cell disease.
In conclusion Purewal added: “I would like to express my thanks to those that have made me a Hope Ambassador. I look forward to helping the Hope Project Scotland continue the upward trend as it continues to help families effected by sickle cells disease.”
