The Orcadian goes purple for charity

The Orcadian is going purple this week as part of CLAN Cancer Support’s 35th birthday celebrations.

Aside from the new colours on the website, we’ll also be putting out a special edition of our newspaper on Thursday.

Over the years, a number of landmarks from Orkney to Aberdeen have been turned purple and organisations and schools have taken on a wide range of purple-themed fundraising challenges for CLAN.

This year the charity has been asking people to host “birthday bake-offs” to mark the occasion between Sunday, September 2, and Sunday, September 9, and support people affected by a cancer diagnosis.
