The community turned out in force yesterday to celebrate the opening of the Rainbow Club’s Sensory Garden, with local councillors Hal Osler and Cammy Day joining community police officers, local adults and children to mark the event, at which Harry Macdonald’s memorial bench was also unveiled (writes Wilma Clelland).
Rainbow Club chairperson Eileen Brash cut the ribbon and then we had light refreshments, with an Easter bunny leading the egg hunt,for the local children!
We raised the money through the Living Through Landscapes Project, which supports people living with dementia by creating inspiring outdoor spaces, also Waitrose, Community Matters, the Scotmid Community Project and fundraising from ourselves at the Rainbow Club.
The bench was paid for from a legacy left by Harry Macdonald, who was a member of the church for over 60 years.
