Larbert & Falkirk 41 cheque presentation to Maggie's Forth Valley

Members of Larbert & Falkirk 41 Club organised a boogie bingo and disco in May which took place at the Dobbie Hall in Larbert.

Attended by 220 people, their generosity allowed the club members to recently visit the centre, in the grounds of Forth Valley Royal Hospital, to hand over a cheque.

Chairman Les Baird presented the £7500 to Lorna Keddie, the centre fundraising organiser.

Les said: “’We would like to thank everyone who has supported us to put on this event.

"It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves while raising money for an excellent cause. Funds raised will provide much needed support for the charity.

"The members of the club were astounded by the final amount raised, much more than we had anticipated.”

Thanking them for their generosity, Lorna said: “We’re thrilled and incredibly grateful to the Larbert and Falkirk 41 Club for organising a successful Boogie Bingo night, raising a phenomenal £7500 for Maggie’s Forth Valley.

“It costs £3000 to keep our centre open for a day, thanks to the support and generosity of Larbert and Falkirk 41 Club and all those who attended we’ll be able to open our doors and offer free practical, emotional and social support to those living with cancer and the ones they love for over two days.”

Maggie’s Forth Valley provides support and help to cancer sufferers, their families and friends.
