Airth pharmacy team raise funds for MND Scotland charity
Staff at a village pharmacy baked cakes and poured coffee to raise funds for a medical charity.
The team at REN Pharmacy, who earlier this year branched out from their original base in Stenhousemuir to take over Airth Pharmacy, held a coffee morning last Thursday in their new Shore Road premises.
Villagers in Airth were delighted to support the fundraiser which saw the coffee morning raise £550 for MND Scotland. Owners Stuart and Katrina Geddes were delighted to match the sum and this will see £1100 handed over to the charity which supports people with motor neurone disease.
The pharmacy team were encouraged to raise the funds as one of their regular patients has the condition.
Stuart said: “We took over Airth Pharmacy back in November and are continuing to improve patient access to NHS and private services in the village. We are delighted to put back into the community and our coffee morning really seemed to catch the imagination of the village who liked the delicious cakes.”
While Stuart is based in the Stenhousemuir Main Street pharmacy, wife Katrina is running things in Airth serving the village, Fallin and further afield.
She said: “I’m proud to be running this local, independent, family-run pharmacy right here in the heart of the community. Our aim is simple – friendly faces, personal service, and healthcare you can trust.
"As a local business, we genuinely care about the people we serve and are committed to supporting our community in any way we can.”
