Falkirk care home staff raised over £1000 at Kiltwalk fundraiser
Falkirk care home staff raised more than £1000 at the Edinburgh Kiltwalk as they fundraised for a sensory garden for residents.
The Burnbrae Home workers, dubbed the Kiltwalk Girls, marched 21 miles to raise funds for a sensory garden for residents. They raised a whopping £1700, smashing past their target goal of £350, which should cover at least some, if not all, of the material needed for their garden.
A safe and welcoming garden space is in the works to support service users living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and learning difficulties by giving them a space to enjoy. The sensory garden will feature a peaceful yet stimulating atmosphere for people to see, hear, touch, and explore different things.
Once the team has had some time to recover from the mammoth walk, they want to get started planning out the garden.
“Everyone has been so generous, we are all so overwhelmed,” the Kiltwalk Girls said.
