A huge thank you to all those who donated their left over foreign notes and coins or out of circulation British currency between May and July this year. They resulted in a donation to Mary's Meals of £496.24 from Leftover Currency which surprised and delighted us. We have started a new collection, so if you have any lurking in the back of a drawer we would be happy to take them!
Annual Coffee Morning - Saturday 21st June 2025 in Blairgowrie Town Hall. Massive thanks to all who helped at the Coffee Morning on Saturday, and to all those who donated baking and items for the stalls and raffle and who came along to join us. I am delighted to report that we raised £1,229.37 for Mary's Meals due to your efforts.
Blairgowrie Highland Games - Sunday 7th September 2025 despite some showers it was a successful day with visitors from Florida to Germany and Poland as well as from all over Scotland and the rest of Britain stopping to find out more about the charity. Although this was more of an information excercise for us, rather than a fundraising event, we still made £92.97 (plus 20 dollars and 5 Euros!!) from donations and sales. The knitted hats sold well when the wind blew!
Blueberry picking - Due to the generosity of Thomas Thompson Blairgowrie, our two sessions this year raised £375 for Mary's Meals. Thank you to all those who came to pick - especially those who braved the really wet session!
Coffee Morning in Alyth - Saturday 11th October 2025 in the Airlie Hall. Thank you to everyone who helped and baked as well as those who came along to support Mary's Meals. The event raised a wonderful £1,031.33
