Managers’ Report 2024 – 2025
Diamonds:
Diamonds continues to meet every Thursday from 12:30 till 3PM.
We have various groups in to entertain with the ukulele bands being big favourites. We have also had people from the Bank of Scotland in advising on web safety and fraud.
Last year’s trip was to Loch Lomond and was enjoyed by those who went.
We still struggle sometimes for volunteers and have made invitation to some people to help out. Also, drivers for the bus could be an issue.
The bus brings in around 16 people and as such because of wheelchairs and walking aids, has to make two trips.
We have had a few fundraising events which were organised by the members themselves which added to funds.
In the kitchen we have worked with volunteers and a chef who comes in on a fairly regular basis and cooks for us as well as training volunteers in the kitchen.
