After what was an amazing day, we would like to thank everyone once again that helped make yesterday possible. All the players that came to have an entertaining game infront of a good amount of friends & family that came to watch.

The raffles winners who weren’t there on the day will be contacted within the next couple days about trying to deliver these, and another thanks to all people who bought raffles.

Thanks again to Buchan Wealth Management Limited for sponsoring the game, and Taylor Still who stepped in as referee for the day. And thanks to Buchanhaven Hearts JFC for allowing us to use the pitch for the day!

After adding up the amounts raised from the JustGiving page, the raffles bought online & in person, the silent auction, player sponsorships, and the donation from Buchan Wealth Management to sponsor the game, we are delighted to announce we have raised just over £4400 that will be split between our 2 chosen charities Shirley’s Space & ACIS Youth.

We will leave our JustGiving up until tomorrow night so anyone wanting to donate can do so for another day. And we also have Mikie Leel doing a skydive in the end of July, with that amount also being added on to the amount we have already raised.

Another massive thank you for everyone making yesterday the day it was and helping us continue to keep Preston’s story going and allowing us to remember him to help others as he would’ve wanted.

The 2nd charity we are raising money for is Shirley’s Space , who we raised £8000 for last year.

They are local to the family and do amazing work helping people struggling with mental health issues.

Shirley’s Space is dedicated to offering a safe and compassionate environment in Crimond for those struggling with their mental health, and community fundraising generosity helps us continue providing vital support across Aberdeenshire and beyond.

“Fundraising efforts like this make a real difference, allowing us to reach more individuals in need and ensure no one has to face mental health challenges alone. Your backing means the world, we appreciate your continued support.

A huge thank you to everyone for your incredible support of Shirley’s Space ahead of the match on 31st May at Buchanhaven Hearts FC.”💛

Before the big day tomorrow we would like to share a bit on the 2 chosen charity’s.

The first charity we are donating money to is ACIS Youth , not only are we raising money for the charities but we would like to raise awareness of the amazing work these charities do and what the money will be going towards helping.

ACIS Youth was established in 2007 as a project of Mental Health Aberdeen, their youth counselling hub offers free one-to-one therapeutic counselling to young people aged 12 to 18 years of age in Northeast Scotland. The counsellors provide a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship, addressing a range of challenges from developmental obstacles to traumatic life experiences. ACIS Youth currently provides counselling to young people at their hub in the city centre, in 11 academy schools, and in 48 primary schools across Aberdeen City.

ACIS Youth and Mental Health Aberdeen have passed on their massive thanks for everyone that’s helped get invovled and raise money.

We hope the money raised helps ACIS Youth continue to do their amazing work💛
