In normal times the Macmillan coffee morning is a huge event for Clachan Court. Undeterred by the restrictions the tenants and staff were determined to do what they could this year to continue to raise funds for this great charity.
Our fabulous Scheme Co-ordinator, Catherine McManus came up with the simple but effective idea to decorate a stand near the entrance to the scheme on the road. Decked out in Macmillan colours and letting the local community know through the church newsletter, they attracted plenty of attention!
“Myself and two friends of mine sat at the table with masks, for just one hour! We put the details in the local Church notices, explaining that we couldn’t hold the usual coffee morning but if anyone wishes to stop by with a donation we would be so grateful.
We though if we got a few £100 we would be doing well but the response was over whelming and we collected £1.500. we could not believe it.”
Congratulations to Catherine and her fantastic team!
