Friendly Town spirit shines as Keith Cares Club makes its debut

9 April 2024

The inaugural meeting of the new Keith Cares Club, launched by Glenisla and Weston View care homes, has been hailed as a resounding success.

Held at Longmore Community Hall in Keith at the weekend, the event brought people of all ages together for a Spring Tea, cake sale and raffle, raising over £900.

The funds raised at these events will support the residents' comfort fund, contribute to future community activities and support local charitable causes.

Brenda Harper, Manager of Glenisla care home said: “We had a fantastic response to our first Keith Cares Club event and it was lovely to see people of all ages enjoying themselves. The Friendly Town really did live up to its name. The support and enthusiasm shown by everyone who attended underscores the importance of initiatives like the Keith Cares Club in combating social isolation and building stronger bonds within our town. We're immensely grateful to the teams from both homes who volunteered, and we look forward to continuing to create meaningful experiences for our residents and the wider community."

The two homes are already planning their next events at Longmore Community Hall:

• Community Lunch Club on Friday 24 May, from 12 - 2pm.
• Tombola on Wednesday 12 June 12th, eyes down from 7pm.
