💰♻️ CASH FOR CANS UPDATE ♻️💰

👏 THANK YOU PAM 👏
The Playgroup wants to say a massive THANK YOU to Pam for all of her hard work and dedication on this scheme. Pam started and ran this recycling scheme which has meant that every penny raised from recycled cans has contributed towards vital funding for the Playgroup and children who attend.

👏 THANK YOU EVERYONE 👏
We also want to say a huge thank you to all of the families, community members and local businesses who have collected cans and recyclable items over the years. Taking this small step to collect and donate the cans has directly benefited Kilbride Playgroup.

✨END OF YEAR TRIP✨
With a second and final 90kg of cans delivered this month, £244.80 was raised. This means the children's end of year outing has been fully covered. Incredible!

💷⭐THE GRAND TOTAL⭐💷

A whopping £2994.59 has been raised over the years.

That's's -
♻️ Cash for Cans raised: £2365.82
♻️ Terracycle raised: £628.77

This is a huge achievement and has covered things such as the cost of materials and small equipment for our children.

🗣️A FEW WORDS FROM PAM🗣️
"I have really appreciated all the support, effort and encouragement over the years — it’s been amazing to see everyone get involved and help raise such a fantastic amount together 💙."

⭐THANK-YOU⭐

❗Please note that if you still want to collect cans and donating to a good cause, they can be donated to 3rd Ballyclare BB at St. John's Ballyclare. There are rubbish bins to the left of the churchw with the BB logo on them. All money raised will go towards BB funds.❗
