The Johnstone Club - Poppy Appeal<br />
Record Sum collected for the Scottish Poppy Appeal in<br />
Johnstone & Kilbarchan.<br />
The 2014 Scottish Poppy Appeal collection in Johnstone<br />
and Kilbarchan raised a record £8,100.27, which will be<br />
used to provide vital support to members of Scotland’s<br />
Armed Forces community.<br />
The annual November campaign in the area is organised<br />
by Jim Sharp and a few friends from the former Rotary Club<br />
of Johnstone.<br />
In 2014 we extended our collection area to include Kilbarchan, after the village’s previous local<br />
Scottish Poppy Appeal volunteer retired.<br />
The Johnstone Club members would like to thank everyone in the community who donated and<br />
made the campaign such a success.<br />
Robert McRae, Poppyscotland’s Scottish Poppy Appeal Organiser for the West of Scotland,<br />
added:<br />
“2014 was an important year as we marked the centenary of the First World War. The reality<br />
is that 100 years on we need to support those who are affected by consequence of conflict<br />
today and I am very grateful to Jim and his team for their hard work and, of course, the people<br />
of Johnstone and Kilbarchan who generously donated to the Scottish Poppy Appeal.”<br />
Poppyscotland uses money raised during the annual Scottish Poppy Appeal and year-round<br />
fundraising activity to provide year-round support to those who have served, those still serving and<br />
their families. This ranges from tailored funding and assistance to services in advice, employment,<br />
housing, mental health, mobility and respite.<br />

Good food is vital to anyone being<br />
treated for an illness, recovering from<br />
health problems or caring for a loved<br />
one. That’s why nutrition workshops<br />
are an important part of the<br />
programme of practical, emotional<br />
and social support that Maggie’s<br />
Glasgow, in the grounds of Gartnavel<br />
Hospital, offers to people with cancer<br />
and their family and friends, giving<br />
Centre visitors the chance to try<br />
dishes that have been designed to<br />
taste fantastic while also bursting<br />
with vital nutrients.<br />
Of course, food that tastes good and<br />
does you good is great news for all<br />
of us. This crisp, fruity coleslaw is<br />
number one in a series of seasonal<br />
recipes coming to you from Maggie’s<br />
and the <strong>Gryffe</strong> <strong>Advertizer</strong> so you can<br />
try out some goodness-packed treats.
