Christie’s diner in the town’s Manor Street is hosting an afternoon tea on Friday, April 28 – the day the hospice celebrates its 42nd birthday and also marks the restaurant’s second anniversary since it began serving up its Scottish tapas.

The cost of the tasty treat is £15 per person – and every penny will go to Strathcarron.

Karen Geary, Christie’s deputy general manager, said: “We know times are tough for everyone and Strathcarron is no exception. We’ve been delighted at how much our customers have helped us fundraise and we wanted to do something more to mark the 42nd anniversary. All the money from the afternoon tea will go to the hospice.”

But that’s not all the fundraising the restaurant staff are doing – everyone who dines with them between now and April 21 and who makes a donation to Strathcarron will be entered into a free draw to win breakfast for two.

A spokesperson for Strathcarron said: “Wow, this sounds amazing. Thank you very much Christies Falkirk we really appreciate your support.”
