6 the advertizer Don’t forget... Houston & Killellan Kirk Carnival, 12th May! Magic Trees Five winners of the Brighter Bridge of Weir’s Easter stone hunt (for primary school-aged children in the village) were presented with their prizes at the recent Pop-Up Shop event. Each of the winners will also have the opportunity to help plant a tree somewhere in the village soon, and that’s a prize that should last for generations to come. Brighter Bridge of Weir is aiming to plant many more trees in future, as well as continuing work with the flowers and shrubs throughout the village. Trees are a vital part of our planet’s ecology, as they absorb carbon from the air and replace oxygen. They also serve to regulate temperature, combat flooding and landslips, and of course provide a habitat for insects and other wildlife. Over many years, however, the number of trees has been decreasing rapidly, mainly due to deforestation by humans, but also because of over-grazing by large herbivores, and disease. Many conservation groups throughout the country are setting out to reverse this decline. Brighter Bridge of Weir’s commitment improve their village’s environment means they’re doing their bit too. Local MP Gavin Newlands contacted the group to arrange a meeting to find out more about the group’s current and future plans. Brighter Bridge of Weir is already supported by our local councillors and MSP, so it’s great to know that the group is making an impression!

Giving Blood Saves Lives Every minute of every day someone in Scotland receives blood as part of a life saving or life improving treatment. Less than 4% of the population currently give blood. The Scottish National Blood transfusion Service (SNBTS) must welcome 3,500 blood donors each week to meet the needs of patients in Scotland. We aim to maintain a 6 day supply of each blood group, at all times, to continue to meet hospital requirements. Whether you’ve never donated before, give blood regularly or haven’t been for a while, SNBTS would like to invite you to your local blood donating session.

may 2018 t: 01505 613340 e: info@advertizer.co.uk From squalor to spoiled...a success story Cora is one of charity Give a Dog a Bone’s recent success stories. After her rehoming fee was paid she joined the monthly support scheme. Previously living in squalor, she is now loving life with her new Mum. “Cora is coming on really, really well. She has socialised like you wouldn’t believe now. The first four weeks were really difficult as she was scared of everything. Now she is playing with all the other dogs in the park and has several people she likes. Everybody in park can’t believe it. It’s very touching. I’ll send more pics soon. Once I master getting her to go into a car, I’ll bring her along to see you.” Fundraising Update: Follow us on Facebook to be a part of our flash fundraisers, where you can not only win a prize but also raise money to help support more animals and their families. 100 PEOPLE X £100: Can you sign up to our challenge?
