2024 was also the first year of our Halloween Parade which was turned out a big crowd.

We also took it on tour to Paisley - more than 100 or you got onboard with the project idea and it was a lot of fun. Here is a video Kevin Cameron made about the home-leg parade..
For the coming year, we look forward to a Feel Good Weekend in May including another Feel Good Fair Saturday 17th May with lots of wellbeing stalls, workshops and treatments.
