Holiday at Hunters Quay

Written by

‘We would like to say a massive THANK YOU for enabling us as a family to have a holiday at Hunters Quay. The children had a fantastic time and have created magical memories that will last a lifetime’. - Mrs L, Greenock, 10 July 2015.

The annual Gourock YAC U16s Boys v Old Crocks match raised the staggering total of £600. This was a superb effort by coaches, players & parents and our charity extends our gratitude and appreciation for such a wonderful donation.

Along with the Mariners Home and Erskine Hospital we were the recipients of £1500 from the Lodge's Annual Charity grants locally. A wonderful donation and very gratefully received and we commend Lodge Greenock Kilwinning XII on their extremely valuable support and caring  to local charities.

The Health Visiting Dept at Port Glasgow Health Centre would like to thank you for the donation of baby and childrens clothes & accessories which have been distributed to families below the poverty line. These families have expressed such deep appreciation for these items which helps to make life a little easier for them. To see a childs face light up when getting something new is a sight to behold! Once again thank you.
