Make A Wish – Jail Break

The local eateries with go up against the best Asian restaurants and takeaways from around Scotland after more than 10,000 people voted online for their favourite venues, with 70 businesses making the shortlist.

Hosted by BBC News anchor Samantha Simmonds, the gala dinner and awards ceremony will take place at The Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh on September 18.

The awards, being held for the seventh time, are organised by the Asian Catering Federation (ACF).

ACF chairman Yawar Khan said: “We are seeing some remarkable creativity by pioneering restaurateurs and chefs, adapting to challenging trading conditions and more sophisticated customer preferences, showcasing Scotland’s world-leading produce, especially its seafood, game, neeps and tatties.”

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK exists for one simple reason – to grant truly magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. Since being established in the UK in 1986, we have granted over 7400 wishes. A wish-come-true brings so much to a child’s life and provides memories for the family that last a lifetime.

Jail Break

‘Prisoners’ were arrested by Lothian & Borders Police and Fife Police in their work place, transported to jail (Edinburgh Castle) where they met fellow inmates. They were fed and watered and detained until they were able to raise the bail money required to buy their freedom.

‘Prisoners’ knew in advance that they were being arrested but it was entirely up to them as to whether or not they told work colleagues.

The Army were fantastic and re-arrested our “prisoners” when they stepped out of the Police car. They then put everyone in the Military Prison.

Jail Break raised over £26,000 – the money sponsored four wishes for children in Edinburgh and Fife.
