Holiday Inn near Macdonalds, are delighted to name the Education Centre for Children with Down Syndrome (ECCDS) as their nominated charity for 2016.
Pat MacInnes, General Manager, commented “We have invited the children here today as the Pioneering Care Centre is undergoing refurbishment and we wanted to make sure the group could still get together and at the same time treat them to lunch.”
ECCDS is close to our heart as team member Kevin Clark’s daughter Lily has been attending the centre since she was a baby.
The Hotel already have various activities planned in throughout the year to raise funds which include a sponsored indoor bike ride and the donation of prizes for the centre’s annual ball on the 24th September. Additionally, 21st March is World Down Syndrome Day and the hotel team will be taking part in their LOTS OF SOCKS campaign to help raise awareness.
