💙 Our amazing volunteer Sally has just zip-slid across the Clyde in aid of SSAFA! 💙

Sally took on the SSAFA Scotland Zip Slide 2026 to raise vital funds for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, which provides practical, emotional and financial support to serving personnel, veterans and their families.

What an incredible thing to do, we’re all very proud of you, Sally! 👏🏼💪🏼

Sally is still fundraising towards her £500 target, so if you’d like to support her and help her get a little closer, every donation makes a difference. 💙

Congratulations to winners Ross and Alan, and well done to all 18 teams who took part. 👏

It’s always a pleasure for The Community Shop to support events that bring our local communities together. 💛
