Could you have guessed the birthday of Willie The Wheelbarrow? Well if you were in the Dunblane area between the 14th and the 16th of may you could have been in with a chance of winning your very own wheelbarrow flower pot.
6 willing, enthusiastic volunteers traveled down to Dunblane Cathedral to help give out cakes, sandwiches and soup to the friendly community of Dunblane (while having a few cakes ourselves of course) The proceeds of this event all went to Christian Aid - a charity who are fighting hard to reliev poverty throughout the world.
Two volunteers were sent around the tables with a diary, this would eventually lead to willie finding an owner. For 50p you could guess which date you felt could be this beautiful wheelbarrows birthday. I must admit many people tried to avoid us as clearly the thought of taking the "prize" home was not very appealing however with our beautiful volunteers powers of persuasion we managed to raise £40 worth of guess money with the winner of the event never coming to claim her prize...
The event was a great success with volunteers and staff all having a good time. We work closely with Christian Aid whenever opportunities arise along with other groups such as The Red Cross and Start Up Stirling.
We are buzzing to help out at future events and are always looking out for other groups to help.
