Died: December 23, 2020. TOM Laurie OBE, who has died aged 82, was a quantity surveyor who helped transform Scotland’s cultural landscape both physically and creatively. He played an integral part in the founding of Cumbernauld Theatre, and was key to the setting up of WASPS Studios at a time when affordable studio provision for artists was hard to find. He was Chair of the Traverse Theatre during one of Edinburgh’s new-writing theatre’s golden periods, and brought artistic life to every project he was involved in. One of Laurie’s finest achievements was in the development and subsequent transformation of Glasgow’s Merchant City. Setting up office in the city’s old fish market that would soon become the Briggait Centre, and sharing a space with trade union-founded arts festival, Mayfest, he would map out plans that would transform a once-derelict inner city area into a vibrant hive of activity.

“I support OHR because they selflessly give and give, always putting the horses first that they take in and then ready for adoption. I adopted a horse from them 3 years ago and they continually made sure the transition to my place was safe and good for Jack Daniels. We donate monthly because horses need our help and always will.”

“As a nurse that works in the community, I support PPA because I have seen how much relief their services have brought to patients struggling with pet concerns while trying to deal with their own health crisis. People with grave conditions and their families often cannot attend to the needs of an animal too or need somewhere safe for their pet to go while they get a procedure or are hospitalized.
