QUARRIERS NOEL LUNCH RAISES £75,355 FOR SCOTLAND’S LEADING SOCIAL CARE CHARITY

The Quarriers Noel Lunch returned for its 28th year in early December 22 at the Glasgow Marriott Hotel and raised an astonishing £75,355. The vital funds raised at this annual festive event will go towards supporting the more than 100 health and social care services that Quarriers operates.

Quarriers is a unique social care charity which aims to transform the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged people across Scotland by challenging the inequality they face and supporting their physical, mental and social wellbeing. Quarriers’ services support adults and children with disabilities, young people facing homelessness, families facing poverty, unpaid carers and people affected by epilepsy.

The charity runs more than 100 services across Scotland, including here in Ayrshire in Kilmarnock, Ayr and Girvan, supporting young people facing homelessness, exclusion from mainstream schools or difficult family circumstances, offering support with education, employability, and addiction and self-harm issues. In addition, here we support adults with learning disabilities and families.

This year around 350 guests joined in the fun with Des Clarke entertaining everyone. Quarriers were delighted to see local company Mackay Corporate supporting the event again.

“The Noel Lunch is a Christmas highlight for us and our guests,” said Karen Fitzgerald, director at Mackay Corporate Insurance Brokers. “It’s a great way to kick start the festive season!”

Sponsors included Martin Plant Hire, Tunnocks, Loch Lomond Group and Arnold Clark
