This year's show is set to benefit Poppy Scotland, Marie Curie and Scottish Association for Mental Health. The students have had to cut their budget from £42,000 to £25,000, reducing costs such as venue hire, lighting and food. Chairwoman Emma Sturdee, a third year student, said: "We are very confident that a fabulous event can still be put on, despite this setback with funding."
