“ All it takes is one well-fed quid next time you’re dining at any of the damned fi ne establishments taking part in this glorious campaign, and that tiny extra sum will go straight to an excellently worthwhile cause. Go on, it’ll make you feel good about that expanding waistband. Ian Rankin

StreetSmart since 2001
Restaurants in Scotland’s cities contributed an outstanding £16,000 to StreetSmart last year during the Edinburgh Festival in August and over the Christmas period. Every penny in every £1 donated by diners in Edinburgh was awarded to homeless charities in the city. Help us to continue to build on this success by supporting StreetSmart again this year.
The beauty of StreetSmart is its simplicity. It is an innovative, easy fundraising scheme which works during the holiday months when people begin to think about those less fortunate than themselves. At participating restaurants, with the benefit of a tablecard, or a reference on the menu, a voluntary £1 is added to the table bill at the end of the meal during the months of August in Edinburgh and November and December nationwide. At the end of each month, the restaurant passes on the total money raised to us. We then use all of those £1s to support reputable charities in that city.
And remember: since all StreetSmart’s running and operational costs are generously paid for by our sponsors Deutsche Bank every penny in every £1 raised goes directly to the people who need it!
To see and hopefully join our list of participating restaurants and see where the money is used please visit www.streetsmart.org.uk
