We held our coffee afternoon on Saturday and are delighted to say we raised £931 🙂
Huge thanks to all of you who came along and enjoyed lovely freshly baked scones and shortbread, purchased raffle tickets, bought our homebakes and finished with a wee game of bingo.
Special thanks to everyone who baked and donated - it is very kind of you all.
Once again cheers to our volunteers who helped on the day and our drivers for getting our members along for the afternoon.
This all helps to keep our buses running - Thankyou ❤️

Just a wee update on what we've done since the start of 2026.
We went to The Neuk for lunch over 6 visits - I think I can say it all was thoroughly enjoyed!!
Thanks once again to Dawn and her team for having us 🙂
Then it was time for KAOS to entertain and that they did with their brilliant show of 'We will rock you'.
Once again thanks to Scott and Judy for organising tickets etc with me.
As always we thank our volunteer drivers and escorts as without them we couldn't do this ❤️
