Celebratin­g St Andrew’s Day with kindness

-

This St Andrew’s Day (Friday) the Scottish Government is encouragin­g us all to do something kind and make someone’s day.

On Arran the #MakeSomeon­esDay campaign has been taken up by the Glen Estate Lunch Club in Brodick which is asking businesses on the island if they can spare a chef for one day to prepare and cook a two-course meal. The club is also always on the lookout for volunteers.

However, simply check- ing on an elderly neighbour or doing the shopping for a poorly friend – any act of kindness is being encouraged today.

Ben Macpherson, minister for Europe, migration and internatio­nal developmen­t, said: ‘This year we can all show the best of what it means to be Scottish by each of us doing something small to #MakeSomeon­esDay. If each of us does something kind for someone else, together we can make a big, positive impact for the benefit of the whole of Scotland.’

If the lunch club can borrow your chef, please contact Bobbi Mulholland at the Arran CVS on 600611.
