A huge thank you to Graham Fire Protection for generously donating two brand new fire extinguishers to replace our old ones, which had definitely seen better days 🔥🧯

We are incredibly grateful for all the support we’ve received so far and genuinely couldn’t do this without the kindness and generosity of our amazing supporters.

On Saturday the 9th of May, Belfield Hall hosted our Porty ceilidh fundraiser and it was the perfect night of happy chaos and the kind of community spirit that's pushing our Atlantic campaign forward 📈

The Gullane Ceilidh Band were on fine form, calling the dances and keeping the floor packed from start to finish.

We managed to raise over 1000£ between ticket sales and the raffle so thank you to everyone who came along and for our wonderful local businesses who donated such generous prizes 🎁
