Port of Leith Housing Association (PoLHA)has raised over £1000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
PoLHA’s sheltered housing developments at St Nicholas Court in Ferry Road and Hermitage Court in Academy Park in Leith hosted events for their residents and locals as part of the charity’s ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ initiative. Around 25 people attended Hermitage Court’s light lunch with sandwiches and cakes and raffle, with over 50 going to St Nicholas Court’s ‘soup and sweet party’ with a home bake sale and raffle. The complexes raised over £900 between them.
Maureen Tait, Senior Sheltered Housing Coordinator for PoLHA who manages St Nicholas Court, said: “We are overwhelmed with the generosity and thankful to everyone who made the events such a fantastic success. We are looking forward to donating the money to this fantastic cause.”
PoLHA also held a coffee morning for staff at its Constitution Street office raising a further £100. Keith Anderson, Chief Executive of PoLHA, said: “This was a great team event which demonstrated both a commitment to a very worthwhile cause and also the baking talents of some members of staff.”
