5. How did it happen?
Mrs MacLean, the leader of our interact group,
was thinking of new ways we could help
people. So we all decided to help Sick kids
Fife. She then contacted a friend of hers at
the hospital, Elizabeth Nicoll and see if there
was anything we could do to help. We thought
that it would just be like going and reading
stories for the children and that, but then we
found out about the children in isolation and
how they couldn’t keep toys and crayons and
that once they left their room. So seeing that
they already had a New Big Hospital Book, we
decided to make a newer and bigger one in
order to raise money to purchase toys which
they could keep in their rooms.
6. How did we do it?
We made posters, told friends,
made competitions, we got stories in from
real children who had visited the
hospital, and we got designs from pupils
from local schools, including our own.
We even got in touch with company's
and asked if they would like to help. We
got the paper and ink free of charge from
two separate company’s (Tullis Russell
and Trojan Press) because they loved
what we were trying to do.
7. After the book was completed, with one of
our own fellow pupils winning the
competition of designing the front cover,
we went to the hospital and personally
sold the books.

10. How Much Did We
Raise?
We raised a whopping…
£133
11. So what happens now?
Every year we are planning on making an
even newer and bigger hospital book, to
carry on helping Sick Kids Fife, but we
are also planning on inviting Kirkcaldy
Interact to join us on this memorable
experience.
