Thank You For Your Donations
We'd like to thank everyone who shopped at Gyle at Christmas and helped raise an amazing amount of money for various charities.
Local school children came in to entertain shoppers with their wonderful carol singing. In the process, they raised £517.28 for Barnardo's.
A team of gift wrappers from Teenage Cancer Trust helped to take the hassle out of wrapping up those Christmas purchases. The charity is better off by £2,500 thanks to their efforts and your donations.
Currie & Balerno Rotary Club also helped with Christmas wrapping, and together with their bucket collection, they raised an amazing £7,633.
Every penny raised by the Gyle Gift Wrappers goes to their respective charities - all expenses are covered by Gyle Management.
As ever, the Gyle Grotto was incredibly popular, raising £10,798,14 for Forth One's "Cash For Kids ".
Also raising much needed funds at Gyle:
- British Red Cross: £1659.59
- Leonard Cheshire Disability: £115.77
- Leukaemia CARE Scotland: £85
