We would like to thank Alloa’s Coop Funeralcare for their recent donation of Easter eggs and soft toys which were distributed out in family food parcels supporting the most vulnerable children living within Clackmannanshire.
Recently we secured funding to purchased an urgently needed new boiler. However, our boiler room was really run down. The ceiling was full of holes, the walls were desperately needing painted and the whole room generally needed some much needed TLC. However, with no funds we were struggling to complete the works. We warmly welcomed SDS (Skills Development Scotland) donation of £75 to purchase paint and items for improvements. SDS won the cash from a window display competition and were keen to support our needs. We are now in the process of carrying out repairs and renovations after we all met at Buicks to purchase materials. Thanks again SDS for the support!
We would like to thank Five Star Football Events for supporting our foodbank. Last week, they hosted a Celtic vs Rangers Legions football match and provided 300 children with free tickets on the condition they brought some tins to donate to our foodbank. Although the day was really cold, everyone enjoyed the match and we welcomed the tins and packets of food donated! What a great idea! THANK YOU!
We were delighted when all the tickets sold out for our recent Gig at The Gate event. The main goal of this project is to offer people a venue to socialise and meet with new friends, but more importantly have fun! And boy did everyone have loads of fun dancing, singing and playing party games on the day! Our younger volunteers Lily, Erin and Emma also did a wonderful dance whilst our guests enjoyed a drink with delicious home baking. Thank you girls – you were amazing and of course to all our volunteers who helped this day be so successful! We are already looking forward to our next Gig which will be held sometime towards the end of June or the beginning of July. Thanks again to everyone who supported the event!
