Steve MacDougall, Courier, Red Cross, 19 Kinnoull Street, Perth. Fundraiser sitting in bath of beans in shop window. Pictured, at the front in the tub is Evelyn Birnie, with friends, shop staff and passers-by looking on.
A brave Perth volunteer staged an unusual bid to raise funds for charity as she plunged into a bath full of baked beans.
And as if the discomfort of sitting in a bath of beans was not enough, Evelyn Birnie (50) made a public spectacle of herself by enduring her challenge in the window of the Red Cross shop in the town’s Kinnoul Street.
The four-hour stunt was organised to raise additional cash for Red Cross Week, the organisation’s annual UK-wide fund-raising drive.
