Well Holytown! What can we say other than Thank you! What an amazing day you made it for the Gala Day! The support was unbelievable! We have a long list of thank yous because if it wasn’t for the support of everyone it wouldn’t have been the success it was. So here goes,
⭐️The Liam Scott Foundation, their donation was instrumental in making the Gala Day the success it was and we couldn’t have done it without that. Pauline Mason Scott and Wullie lost their 18 year old Son in a tragic accident in the waterfalls at Lanark. Liam was a brilliant footballer and the Liam Scott Foundation raise awarness for water safety and continuously put back into the community in Liams name. Being their on the day was a big ask as its coming up to Liams anniversary, and an extremely hard time for everyone, so Thank you.
⭐️Grant Blades and GC Events we couldn’t have done it without you. The boucy Castles, funfair rides, sound system and stage kept the kids busy all day.
⭐️ Susan Jelly, without Susans fundraising the Gala Day wouldn’t have been the success it was.
⭐️Councillor Jim Reddin. He was with us from day 1 and kept us right with all the red tape we had to climb through and helped us make connections within the community.
