Drylaw food donations urgently needed

Drylaw Rainbow Club Day Centre is looking for donations of stock for it’s community food bank.

They are particularly short of tinned meats and potatoes but all donations would be gratefully received.

The goods are used to make up food and essential groceries packs that are being distributed to elderly, vulnerable and isolated residents across the area.

You can drop off at Drylaw Church on Groathill Road North between 10am-2pm.

If you know anyone in Drylaw or Telford who needs help, telephone 0131 343 6643 to talk to a member of staff or leave a message and we will get back to you.

 

Christmas vote for turkeys at Rainbow Club!

Rainbow1 They always tend to do things a wee bit different at Rainbow Club Christmas parties, and so it proved again this year. In the past we’ve had plays and pantomimes, but yesterday guests were treated to a very unusual fashion parade.

A collection of seasonal supermodels took to the catwalk in Drylaw Parish Church, and partygoers were asked to choose their favourite from a prime selection – a penguin, a Christmas cracker, a fairy, a reindeer or Santa, perhaps? Nope, the popular choice was … the turkey!

Let’s hope the poor bird enjoys what little time he has left!

Rainbow Daycare manager Jackie Brown said: “I was a great day and a lot of fun. I’d like to thank State Street (volunteers are pictured below), entertainer Stevie Desmond, all clients and carers for donations to the raffle and local businesses for kind donations. And a special thanks to the staff and volunteers for all their efforts.”Rainbow3
