HOUSING ASSOCIATION RAISES NEARLY £1300 FOR MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT
Port of Leith Housing Association (PoLHA) has raised nearly £1300 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
PoLHA’s sheltered housing developments at St Nicholas Court in Ferry Road and Hermitage Court in Academy Park in Leith hosted events for their residents and locals as part of the charity’s ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ initiative.
Around 30 people attended Hermitage Court’s light lunch with over 40 going to St Nicholas Court to enjoy the delights of home-made soup, home bake sale and raffle. The complexes raised £1087 between them.
Maureen Tait, Senior Sheltered Housing Coordinator for PoLHA who manages St Nicholas Court, said:-“We are delighted so many people came along to help makes the coffee mornings a success. Without their generosity we would not have been able to raise such a vast amount of money to this fantastic cause.”
PoLHA also held a coffee morning for staff at its Constitution Street office raising a further £209.
