Festive Friends
On Tuesday 9th December we hosted our fantastic Festive Friends Christmas Lunch in the Ally MacLeod Suite with over 100 guests in attendance. We were treated to a brilliant 3 course meal followed by some entertainment from the pupils at Newton Primary School and our very own Julie!
Thanks to funding that we receive from the SPFL Trust we were able to invite 80 guests. We were able to invite a further 30 guests to the event thanks to the ongoing funding we receive from William Grant Foundation and the National Lottery Community Fund.
In addition to the funding we received from the SPFL Trust for our Christmas Lunch, we also received funding from them that allowed us to deliver Festive Friends Hampers full of Christmas treats to 20 people within our local community. All the Hampers were delivered by our Head of Wellbeing, Julie.
