Kirkliston Autumn Fair Raises a Fantastic £625.13 for Queensferry Care
Updated:
A wonderful afternoon of community spirit, shopping and fundraising was enjoyed at our Kirkliston Autumn Fair on Saturday 14 November 2026, raising a fantastic £625.13 for Queensferry Care.
Held at Kirkliston Community Centre, the event brought together 13 stallholders, 54 adults, 10 children and nine fabulous volunteers for an afternoon of festive shopping, delicious home baking and fundraising fun.
Visitors enjoyed browsing a wonderful selection of handmade gifts, Christmas decorations, jewellery, artwork, skincare and crafts, as well as finding out more about some of the fantastic community projects in our local area. Our popular Cosy Night In gift boxes, Bottle Tombola and Sweet Treat Tombola added to the afternoon’s fundraising activities.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to all our wonderful stallholders for supporting the event:
● Tropic Skincare with Lyndsey Duguid
● Sandra Buttrick
● Eileen L Crafts
● Emma Maclennan
● Kirkliston Community Centre Craft Group
● Kirky Krafters
● Agnes d r Jewellery, also supporting Kirkliston Heritage Group
● Jenny Dinwoodie, Kirkliston Art Group
● Kirky Fridge
● Forth Hedgehog Hospital
● Bev Graham
● Forth Bridges Men’s Shed
● Queensferry Care
Special thanks go to Kirkliston Community Centre Management Committee for their brilliant support, particularly Agnes and Laurence, and to our wonderful bakers who provided such a delicious selection of cakes and traybakes.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without our fantastic volunteers, who so generously gave their time to help make the event a success.
Every penny raised will help Queensferry Care continue to provide vital services, activities and opportunities for older people and carers across our local communities, reducing social isolation and loneliness and helping people remain connected, active and supported.
Thank you to everyone who came along, shopped local, donated, volunteered, baked or helped behind the scenes. Your kindness and generosity really do make a difference.
A wonderful example of what can be achieved when a community comes together!
