LESLIE GALA RETURNS AFTER 8 YEARS THANKS TO THE SKENE TRUST

Thursday, July 7th, 2022

Neil Skene from the Skene Trust has donated a cheque for £7640 to Gayle Wilson of the Leslie Community Pantry to fund the Local Gala Day on Saturday 13th August 2022 from 12pm. 

It has been 8 years since the Gala was last on and residents are excited to have the event back up and running this year.

The Leslie Gala has been a huge part of the community for many many years and to bring it back to life in this current climate will have a huge impact on the community.  There will be lots of fun filled activities to join in on for all the family.  Lets just hope the sun shines on the day.

Gayle from the Leslie Community Pantry runs an impressive charitable business which offers a variety of services to the community.  Gayle and her team receive kind donations of food and daily necessaties from local business and distribute them out to people who are less fortunate than most. 

The Skene Trust was formed in 2010 as the Charitable arm of Skene Group Construction Services and since then has contributed £222,000 to various local projects in the vacinity of Leslie.
