Olympic Torch Fund Raising Sports Day

The sports day will be held at Ellon Meadows Gym on Tuesday.

We are raising money for new equipment for the garage conversion.

The activities include:
  • Sponsored bounce
  • Fancy dress badminton
  • Olympic torch relay
  • Boccia
  • New age curling
  • And more!
Fine pieces are for sale. Photos will be taken.

IT IS A REAL OLYMPIC TORCH!!!!!

Bag 2 The Future

Ellon Resource Centre is trying to raise funds for the new equipment for our garage conversion and computer suite. To help with this, we are collecting clothes, etc for collection by Bag 2 The Future who will pay us 50p per kilo. As you will see from the enclosed bag they collect adult and children's clothes, bedding, curtains, soft toys, shoes (in pairs!), belts and handbags. All items to be clean but not wet. NO BRIC-A-BRAC PLEASE!!!!!

We will accept bags here at the Resource Centre during the week leading up to Thursday 27 September. If you have a problem delivering them or need more bags or more information then please contact us on 720066. Please note that the lorry could be arriving at 9am on the Thursday morning!

Thank you for your support.

Tom's 20th Birthday

Weeks before my 20th birthday, I designed my own yearbook for the Centre's 20th anniversary, and it had 50 pages.

On my 20th birthday, the presents I achieved were sweets, money, stationery, car books, cards, etc.

I was down in County Clare, in Ireland on my holidays, with my family.

NEW KITCHEN

There will be a new training kitchen at the centre. Three people will be helping with the cook to serve soup and sandwich meals. Everybody seems to enjoy working there and hopefully it will help them find work in the future.

ELLON THROUGH OUR EYES BOOK PUBLISHED

The Ellon Through Our Eyes books have finally been published. There will be 100 copies, priced at least £4. The launch of the book will be on Wednesday 1st August. Lots of people want to buy the book. We're very proud and relieved!!
