😍Friday Fundraisers Roundup😍

We have a couple of fundraising announcements to share with you today! These Summer months are proving super busy for fundraising which is not only AWESOME but ESSENTIAL too! Lets take a look! 👀

Nicola Forbes is cycling 200 miles this weekend in the Chase the Sun - Cycle The Longest Day to raise money for The Oxygen Works. The cycle is from Whitley Bay on the East coast to Ayr on the West coast. A HUGE challenge and we are so grateful to Nicola for her amazing efforts! GOOD LUCK Nicola!💪🍀

We have also released the tickets for our event Dancing Through The Decades - Afternoon Tea at the Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness. This is our main fundraiser for the whole year and we are determined to raise £6000!! If you would like to help us with that or would like to get involved then do get in touch. The amazing Tuminds Social Media are once again helping us with sponsorship but we really do need more to hit this target! 🙏

Our Summer Raffle is selling well as always, if you have any prizes you would like to donate or if you would like to buy any tickets then pop in to the centre or give us a call. A huge thanks to Flowers in Focus by Kay Haspell and Big Pete's Garage for their generous donations so far!😍

A big shout out to Flowers in Focus by Kay Haspell and Andy O'Connor from EquallyPlaced.com who both had fundraising events planned for July but have now moved them to later in the year. This not only helps us spread the load of planning and attending events but allows us, and them, to maximise the engagement for these events and hopefully increase the funds we raise. 🙏😍

Please please do go on to these pages and support the folks that are fundraising on our behalf. Every pound goes to keeping our doors open🙌
Wishing you a lovely weekend and wishing Scotland all the best for tonight's match!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🥰FRIDAY GRATITUDE🥰

The thanks continues today as we say a huge thank you to Macleod Roofing Ltd for their recent donation of £1000 through their community fund! We are hugely grateful for their support of small local charities in the Highlands 💛💙💛
As you all know, these donations make a huge difference to smaller organisations like ours. What a great end to a busy busy week!

A huge thank you also to all our lovely clients this week for your patience while we navigate our new booking system. There have been a few wee teething problems and we have appreciated your patience at the desk while we try to rectify them. Its a big learning process for the whole team and hopefully we will be running a bit more smoothly next week and going forward.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!💙💛💙

☀️Friday Roundup☀️
How nice it has been to see the sun this week!
We have lots to talk about today so I am just going to crack on!

Highland Classic Motor Club were in on Monday with an absolutely stunning range of vehicles. It was such a treat to see them all lined up in our car park and we were truly grateful for the £500 cheque that they presented us with. Sadly there was a very low turnout of TOW clients/members (only three) but the drivers more than made up for it and we raised £170 of donations for teas, coffees and raffles.🥰

👏On Tuesday 2nd June we see the return of the Men's Wellbeing Group! We have been asked by many to bring this group back and although we don't have the capacity to provide bacon rolls at this time there will be many cakes and biccies to go round! We will look forward to welcoming everyone along at 11am!

😍Summer Raffle is on sale now! Tickets are only £1! We will have some great prizes, and if you would like to donate one then please let us know! Big thanks to those who have donated already!

🎉Lucky Numbers - For only £5 you can enter our Lucky Numbers to win two tickets to the amazing Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival!! These are worth over £400 and are a wonderful prize for someone to win! Or a fabulous gift to pass on to someone if you don't fancy it yourself!

And last but not least, tickets for our Dancing Through The Decades afternoon tea will be on sale from Monday! It is going to be EPIC🥰😍🥳🤩💃💃
