Local Charities.
Aberlour Children’s Charity
We partnered with Aberlour Children’s Charity to run a pop up charity shop in February 2025. This was a lot of work but a great success with £3000 raised in total with £2000 going to Aberlour and also brought us a couple of new members.
Dunfermline Foodbank
Our support for the local foodbank in Dunfermline will continue with our monthly donation of items needed. We also help our with food drives in local supermarkets.
