Donation of 200 eggs boosts centre's fundraiser
Fundraisers at The Adam Centre in Montrose – including a remarkable 101-year-old who knits to raise funds for the charity – have received an early spring boost after Scotmid donated 200 Easter eggs to support their special fundraising initiative.
The eggs will be used to complete hand-knitted Easter chick holders made by centre users, with all proceeds going towards supporting the work of The Adam Centre.
Purpose-built, the centre provides a safe, welcoming environment for older adults, offering social connection, support and respite for families across the local community.
Irene Mitchell, centre manager at The Adam Centre, said: “This donation has meant a great deal to everyone at the Adam Centre.
"Our fundraisers put so much care and pride into what they do, and having Scotmid support this initiative – especially one led by our oldest knitter, aged 101 – is incredibly uplifting for everyone.”
Lynne Ogg, head of community & member engagement at Scotmid, added that the company was pleased to help out.
She said: “When we heard about this wonderful fundraising idea – and the incredible knitters who support the centre – we were delighted to help.
"The Adam Centre plays a vital role in supporting older people in Montrose, and this felt like a very special way to support both the charity and the people at its heart.”
The company added that the donation reflects its continuing commitment to supporting local communities and grassroots charities.
