2019 Donations
We had some fabulous donations in 2019 from our own members:
Anne Harrison and her husband Neil celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary and they asked for donations to womanKIND Clydesdale in lieu of presents!
Joanne Grant celebrated her 80th Birthday and did the same. Thank you so much for your kindness, both.
We have also applied for micro-grants through our local community council and have been successful twice in 2019.
We applied to the COVID-19 fund in 2020 and received £500 to deliver Boxes of Kindness
In addition, we are delighted to have a few people who give us a small sum via monthly direct debit which also helps us to keep going.
