One raffle featured a bottle of limited-edition single cask single malt whisky, a creation in collaboration with Annandale Distillery to commemorate Caledonian Sleeper’s a hundred and fiftieth anniversary. The second raffle supplied a pair of return tickets on board the long-lasting Caledonian Sleeper prepare.
All funds raised from the raffles will go in the direction of Give a Dog a Bone’s neighborhood area mission the place older adults can socialise in a secure area, study new expertise, and overcome loneliness via animal companionship. Community areas have been established by th charity in Shawlands, Troon, and Alloa. They all present an area the place adults over 60 can go to on a regular basis to loosen up and benefit from the firm of dogs, workers and volunteers. Many of the those that have interaction with the charity dwell by themselves, and the neighborhood areas present them with the much-needed social interplay and companionship that go in the direction of tackling the antagonistic results of loneliness.
Kathryn Darbandi, Managing Director for Caledonian Sleeper, commented: “Caledonian Sleeper is proud to have supported Give a Dog a Bone for the past four years. It’s heartening to see the positive impact our contributions have on the charity’s vital work in alleviating loneliness.”
Louise Russell, Founder and Chief Executive at Give a Dog a Bone, stated: “We are incredibly grateful to have the continued support of Caledonian Sleeper. Donations such as this allow us to continue welcoming people into our community spaces each day, as well as caring for our companion dogs who provide happiness to the lives of so many people.”
