| People of all ages went about their business dressed in various shades of pink as part of ‘Wear it Pink’ day, organised by the Breast Cancer Campaign.
Dundee politicians of all hues discarded their parties’ traditional colours for the day in order to back the event.
SNP duo Shona Robison MSP and Stewart Hosie MP were joined by workers from the SNP constituency office and local mechanics and staff from Metro Motors who were all dressed in pink.
Labour MSP Marlyn Glen also showed her support for the charity appeal.
Staff at Dundee College were looking to raise a pretty penny for the cause through a whole range of activities. As well as staff paying to wear pink for the day, pink ribbons were on sale at the college campuses and recep-tionists laid on a pink welcome for visitors to the Kingsway Campus, with Kathryn Simpson, Carrie Ewan and Jenni Hyde dressed as pink fairies.
The Dundee College Prince’s Trust team was also staging a pink car wash at the Kingsway Campus, encouraging staff — no matter the colour of their vehicle — to pay £2 to see it sparkle.
They could hardly believe their eyes when ‘The Big Pink Thing’ rolled into the car park. The pink 4x4 is one of the vehicles offered for hire by local firm Scottish Auto Specialists, who also rent out a pink limousine.
Rod Sim of SAS was happy to support the Team’s efforts by having the 4x4 at the college to raise awareness of what was going on.
Meanwhile, children and staff at the Teddy Bear Nursery Club, in Thomas Wise Place, got in on the action with a purely pink day of fun.
As well as everyone being dressed in pink, they were also painting in pink, playing with pink gloop, pink water and pink play dough — as well as enjoying home-baked pink snacks.
St Vincent’s Primary School in Pitkerro Road was also pink and proud for the day, with staff and children making donations for the privilege of dressing in the colour.
They also held raffles with pink items as prizes and the school nurse gave awareness talks about the condition. |
