In a heartwarming gesture of community spirit, David Buchanan, Chair of Kirkliston Community Council, and Neil Davidson, treasurer/secretary, visited The Haven in South Queensferry this week to present a cheque for an impressive £661.

This generous donation stems from the overwhelming support received at the Santa Sleigh Ride event, a Christmas Eve extravaganza that took place in Kirkliston, with Queensferry Churches' Care in the Community as the chosen charity.

But the goodwill doesn't stop there. Kirkliston Community Council took their commitment to another level by applying for matched funding from the Bank of Scotland Foundation. The result? An additional £500 from the Bank of Scotland, bringing the total contribution to a remarkable £1161.

Sue Hope, fundraising manager at QCCC, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Kirkliston Community Council, Bank of Scotland, and the entire Kirkliston community for their unwavering support.
