We recently purchased another Defibrillator and it is located externally as part of our community support, it is registered with the British Heart Foundation's The Circuit to allow first responders to find our location.  

 Thank you to local group The Jolly B's who played for the residents in what was, as always, a thoroughly entertaining afternoon. The Jolly B's are an old favourite of the residents having visited many times before and they never disappoint. Thank you again and hopefully its not too long before we see the band back performing for the residents in Abbeyfield House.  

At our January Abbeyfield AGM meeting we said thank you to Willie Park for his 25 years service and formally recognised his retirement from the Management Committee and as a trustee. Willie and his wife Anne started supporting Abbeyfield Strathaven in 1988 and Willie has been a great support to Abbeyfield and the Management Committee through the many changes of the last 25 years. We are grateful for his guidance and direction over many years, and wish Willie & Anne all the best for the future.

The pictures show Willie & Anne receiving flowers and the grateful thanks of Abbeyfield from our Chairman, Kenny Naylor.

Thank you to James McStay who hosted a special musical bingo for the residents with a variety of old classics. The residents had a great time especially the prize winners!
