This year’s Schoolhouse New Lanark get-together really put the “fun” into fundraising, as over £40 was raised for WaterAid by a couple of dedicated Bakers.

The opening of the stall, run by two Fife Home-ed youngsters, on Saturday afternoon nearly caused a stampede as hungry swimmers made a bee-line straight from the pool towards the stall.

Home-made gingerbread, fairy cakes and cookies tickled the fancy of the children, whilst the adults preferred the more sophisticated truffles and cupcakes. Home-made Christmas cookies were also donated by Ann Aitkenhead.

People kept coming back to the two-man stall, run by James Sinclair (11) and Ciaran Sneddon (14), who eventually closed after a couple of hours of heavy-selling with £45.00 in their WaterAid donation box, and a few tasty treats for themselves!

Today 4,000 children will die from drinking unclean water. WaterAid aims to prevent un-necessary deaths by building sanitation blocks and wells.

Including gift aid the total raised was £57.60

Thanks to all those who donated and bought the baking.
