Over 40 years ago Erskine looked after Anne Keating’s father. Anne and her family were delighted with the care Erskine provided.  Not only were they very happy with their dad’s care but also with the care the staff showed towards the family every time they visited.

Over the last 10 years Anne has organised many charity evenings at the Lodge Cochno Social Club in Hardgate,  in aid of Erskine. 

2022 was no different except for the fact that this year she raised over £1600, smashing all the previous amounts raised. This brings her overall total since starting fundraising for Erskine, to well over £8000.

Anne said she would like to thank Duncan (pictured with Anne) for allowing her to use the facilities at Lodge Cochno.  She would also like to thank family and friends who have come out and supported her events. She couldn’t have done it without you all. 

Jim Watret, Community Fundraiser said: “Anne is an incredible woman who would “get a piece” at anyone’s door to get donations to help the Veterans in Erskine and has the gratitude of us all for her hard work in raising money for the Veterans in our care". (Anne pictured with Jim in 2021)
