A new year means new partners, and we are excited to introduce our new charity partner Macleods Refuge.

This Christmas there is no better time to kick off this partnership. We will be taking donations in our foyer from Thursday 1 December until Wednesday 14 December. Donations must be unwrapped gifts such as; new toys, gift cards, or anything that may be suitable for teenagers. All donations will go to Macleods Refuge and the families they are assisting.
