As part of Make It Matter Day in June, Marks and Spencer has committed to support M&S colleagues in delivering one million hours of community volunteering by 2025, to help to make a difference to the projects and initiatives that really matter in the community it serves. M&S will kick start the volunteering in Howwood during National Volunteers Week (1-10 June) by tending to the gardens in St Vincent’s Hospice and introducing a seating area that will provide a pleasant environment for all patients. Nationwide, employees in every M&S store will join their colleagues in Howwood by helping to transform local projects that make a real difference. In total, over 50,000 colleagues will support more than 500 community projects across the breadth of the UK. Make It Matter is part of the recently launched M&S campaign, ‘#SpenditWell’, which is about inspiring people to make every moment special by focusing on the experiences, people and things that really matter in life. Scott Munro, Store Manager of M&S Braehead: “We’re really excited to be coming together to support St Vincent’s Hospice. Volunteering can make a profound difference to the communities in which we live, work and play – we believe that lots of the small actions from lots of people, can collectively have a huge impact. We can’t wait to get started.” Kate Lennon, Chief Excutive of St Vincent’s Hospice: “From start to finish on a very wet day, we cannot thank the M&S volunteer enough for all their hard work and dedication to the hospice. The garden is looking amazing – just in time for our Volunteer long service awards which will be held next week in the grounds of St Vincent’s Hospice.” Legal Blog by Isabella McKerrow, Affinity Family Law Have Your Say at Town Conferences Renfrewshire residents are being urged to attend their local community planning event and put across their views on the priorities and vision for the area.

Naming a Child and Changing its Name It is usual in Scotland for the child to take the surname of the father although there is no legal requirement for this. The child may be given the surname of the mother instead. This may be preferred where the mother is not married to the father. Where parties are not married the father alone cannot register the birth and name of the child. However, the name by which a child is known is a matter of fact in any individual case. A child does not have to be known by the name registered on the birth certificate. If the other parent objects to the use of the new name, they can raise interdict proceedings to prevent the child being known by the new name. On the other hand, the parent who wants the change of name can apply to the court for a specific issue order to ask the court to determine the matter. The courts will apply the principle that the welfare of the child is the paramount consideration. They will take into account the views of the child but the weight the court will attach to such views is dependent on the child’ age and maturity. It is generally inappropriate for either parent to unilaterally change a child’s name except where there are exceptional and overwhelming circumstances. The typical dispute is where the mother with whom the children continue to reside after divorce remarries again and now wants to change the children’s surname to that of the new spouse. The courts are likely to refuse the order, taking the view a name change in such circumstances sends an inappropriate message to the children that the natural father belonged wholly to their past and had no place in their present.
@GryffeAds www.advertizer.co.uk july 2017 Remembered with a Smile Having had both of their fathers cared for at St Vincent’s Hospice, cousins Sharon Davis and Linda Davis decided to host a series of fundraising events to support the work of the Hospice. Gathering a group of friends together to climb Ben Nevis at the start of April, with temperatures feeling like -15 degrees at the top was an incredible achievement for them. Later that month Sharon and Linda held a charity night at Lochwinnoch Bowling Club. The bowling club was packed on the night with friends and family who had a great time and between auctions and raffles they raised over £2,200 which they were delighted with. Sharon said “We thought it would be a great way for us to give something back and show our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all the amazing doctors and nurses in the hospice for the care and support they provided to both our dads, and to ourselves and our families, during those difficult times”. Between the Ben Nevis climb, the bowling club charity night and some other online raffles an incredible total of £6,328.76 was raised from Sharon and Linda’s series of events for “remembered with a smile”. Sharon and Linda would like to express their thanks to all who attended their fundraising night, came on the Nevis climb, donated, purchased an auction item and offered their support to what was an incredibly successful fundraising night. Pictured from left to right are Ally Salmon, Sharon Davis, Anthony McLaughlin, Nicola Harper, Craig Wilson, Emma Davis, Callum Armstrong, Linda, Davis, Andy Rowan, Isaac Wilkie, John McManus, James Turner & Marie Turner presenting the cheque to our in-patient unit axillary nurse Gail Chalk and staff nurse Hazel Martin. David Turner and Graham Bateman could not make the cheque presentation but were part of the Ben Nevis fundraising. Laura McDade, fundraiser at St Vincent’s Hospice said “On behalf of all at St. Vincent’s Hospice we can’t thank Linda, Sharon, “The Nevis Nutters” and everyone who kindly sponsored their efforts enough. This is an incredible sum of money raised and it will go to such good use supporting those affected with life-limiting illnesses in the Renfrewshire area.” “If you are interested in holding your own fundraising event in aid of St Vincent’s Hospice please contact the fundraising team on 01505705635 or email info@ svh.co.uk” 9 9 YEP! Boat gets in on the on Gala Day Parade Alexander Brown, a local young person and YEP! Boat builder photographed here, rallied to call to help complete the YEP! Boat for the Lochwinnoch Gala Day parade. The last few weeks has been a busy time for the 4 person crew including Dick, Hugh and Seamus who worked hard to get the boat ready for its debut voyage, on a wheeled trailer parading through the streets of Lochwinnoch. The boat was aptly decorated in a ‘Made In Lochwinnoch’ banner with pirate bunting and was accompanied by 2 pirates walking the High Street rather than ‘Walking the Plank’! After the parade, the boat was displayed at the LEAP and ReMode Stall, where Alexander was on hand to tell the boat’s story and meet lots of interested local residents and young people keen on hearing about its next voyage. Well Done to all the young people who spent so much of their time building the boat from scratch and shaping their woodwork and crafting skills. Keep a look out for the next chapter of its journey!
