๐ฃ Message from our โChief Elfโ ๐ฃ
Ferry Elves would like to thank everyone who supported us this year. Thanks to our wonderful community, we supported 112 local youngsters aged newborn to 16 years old. This is truly a community endeavour ๐ ๐
โค๏ธ Whether you (individuals or groups) donated time, cash, JustGiving, gifts, food, turkeys, handmade biscuits, food or preloved clothes/ toys, it was very much appreciated. We did end up with enough clothes to share with Kids Love clothes and the baby bank.
๐Tesco South Queensferry In The Community has been pivotal in this work; allowing us a weekend to tell folk about what we do, then 4 weeks with our box for collections in a prominent place - then added a trolley for toys!๐งธ
๐ The local builders and housing associations; Lovell, Cala and Sigma have given us significant donations as has Register house. Along with the rowing club, Lovell and Cala provided specific gifts for some children ๐
๐งฑ ๐ฆ Rosebery hall provides us with storage and an elf workshop in the community centre which is essential.

๐ผ Buzzworks once again provided breakfasts with Santa for 5 families which were a great hit as was the extra food added to our collection.
When we were allocating the food packs there was a shortage of tinned meat and veg so our friends in the Lodge St Margaret, South Queensferry stepped forward to resolve that ๐ ๐ฝ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ
๐ค We hope we havenโt missed anyone out and weโve tried to tag where we could - please share!
โค๏ธ THANK YOU!! And we wish you a very happy and healthy 2026! โค๏ธ
