Each year Riddell PM organises our Hamlet Golf Event, and we invite many friends of the Hamlet. Our guests enjoy a free day golfing at Pitlochry, but in return we ask that they make a small donation which we keep aside until this time of year and donate to charities at Christmas.
This year we collected £400 in donations from the Hamlet guests and the Company has equalled this giving a total of £800 to distribute to whorthwhile causes. This year it was decided to split the donations allowing 2 separate charities to benefit from the donations.
The first £400 has been donated to “The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal” which you’ve probably seen advertised. Our donation will help give a family a meal on the table and some presents for Christmas Day, all of which can too easily be taken for granted.
The other £400 was donated to “Crisis” which you may also have seen advertised. This will make a huge difference to some people without a home this Christmas and could even be the first step out of homelessness. Absolutely awful thought to be living rough!!
