Wish List delivers for centre in East Kilbride
Published: Wednesday 7 February 2024
Six tables have been provided for a free, brand-new lunch club – thanks to the council’s Community Wish List.
The Village Centre in East Kilbride were looking for the tables and their request was granted by Findel.
The Centre offers a safe space for meeting and socialising and supports more than 100 community groups, offering free activities such as art and fitness classes, a food bank, warm spaces and a wellbeing café.
Centre Manager Joanne Gray said: “We were delighted that we were selected from the Community Wish List to receive six tables.
“These will be used by our community groups and will make a huge difference to their ability to involve more people at their groups and we can facilitate more groups at a time, allowing more of the community to access our brilliant service.”
Findel Key Account Manager Neil Scally said: “At Findel, we view community engagement as integral to our mission.
“The Wish List initiative has streamlined this process by providing a meaningful framework for selecting projects that resonate with our company's values. Being able to contribute to the well-being of local communities is a source of pride for us. We are grateful for the opportunity and look forward to continued collaboration in making a lasting difference.”
The Community Wish List is supported by South Lanarkshire Council’s Community Engagement Team.
Chair of the council's Finance and Corporate Resources Committee, Councillor Lesley McDonald, said: "This is another great example of the Community Wish List and the benefits it can bring to local communities and organisations.
"I would like to thank all the companies who have so generously donated so far."
