⭐️Pillar Kincardine DONATION⭐️

Yesterday morning Deacon David N. Parkinson of the Aberdeen Tailors Incorporation, visited Pillar Kincardine, a small voluntary organisation based in Stonehaven, supporting people in and around Kincardine who are coping with serious emotional, social or mental health difficulties. They operate from the Old Courthouse building in Stonehaven, but also use a number of community facilities in Stonehaven, Inverbervie, Portlethen and Laurencekirk.

Pillar helps build a network of friends and contacts, including qualified staff who provide advice and support to help on the road to recovery and wellbeing.

The reason for the visit was that at the Tailors Annual Dinner at the beginning of December last year a Prize Draw was held and £1450 was raised.

The picture shows Deacon Parkinson presenting the cheque to Gillian Grochla (Senior Manager) and Susan Young (Support Worker).
