Our charity is set up to provide a free of charge annual day trip for the more elderly residents of Darvel, aged 70 and over, allowing them to enjoy a coach trip and meal in the company and friendship of others. We hire coaches and pay for a meal for everyone. For those unable to attend, we deliver a gift of biscuits or chocolates to help them feel included. We aim to provide a welcome and enjoyable change to the daily routine of the elderly by organising an enjoyable day out in the company of others of a similar age.
Objectives: This Committee, composed of local residents, has for , the past sixty years or thereby, existed and functioned as a Charitable Organisation for the purpose of providing an Annual Outing for the Senior Citizens of the Burgh aged 70 years and over who are of limited means and who could not provide one for themselves. All are invited when they reach the age of 70 but many do not attend, Some through illness or physical disability, others unwilling to accept a charity.
