We were delighted to recieve 2 cheques today for £240 each.

This money was raised by Chloe Mason’s auntie and work colleauges at Farmfoods in Cumbernauld who decided to raise some money on International Autism Day, 2nd April.
Everyone was encouraged to wear something blue and donate £1 and the response was amazing.

They decided to donate the money to the school and the company matched the total raised by the staff, giving us £480 in total.

We are delighted with this very generous donation and will be used to support fun, learning experiences for the pupils.
