Maggie’s 

There won’t be a family in Kirriemuir & Dean that hasn’t benefitted from the support offered through the Maggie’s Centre when loved ones are affected by cancer. This link allows you to get more information about the Penguin Parade. https://maggiespenguinparade.com/

Why we want to Keep Peter

Peter is a symbol of our community working together and will bring visitors to our town. There is evidence that having Peter within the town has increased footfall over the summer. We would hope that people would still come along to see him after the end of the Penguin Trail has 

What we need to raise

Peter Panguin is for sale at auction and one of 80 penguins, Maggie’s aim is to raise £540,000 the cost of running the centre for a year. So a specific figure is difficult to guess, we would hope to raise between £10k & £16k.
