The Big Walk
The residents were filled with excitement as the big day approached. The new T-shirts—paying tribute to the Centre, our residents, and our two donkeys—were an instant hit.
The morning broke with the threat of rain, putting a slight damper on spirits initially, but in true McClelland fashion, the walk was a resounding success with huge smiles all around. It remained the talk of the entire afternoon.
Then came the serious business end of the event: our Operations Manager accepted a challenge to run the 10 km route. Come rain or shine, he was determined to complete it for the residents. Gus and his running partner, Willem, arrived back at the Cork & Barrel to a deafening wave of congratulations. Notably, while out on the route, Gus secured two additional pledges conditional on his finishing the run.
The McClelland Big Walk could not have taken place without the incredible people who brought this initiative together:
BRK Attorneys – spearheaded by our Chairperson, Bridgette
The Cork & Barrel
The Management Committee of McClelland – spearheaded by Lynette
Aztec Electrical for the important water table
A huge thank you to all our sponsors, parents, and members of the public who contributed to this great cause.
Finally, from the management and residents of McClelland: thank you to everyone for your incredible support and pledges. We salute you!

Challenge Accepted! Help us sponsor Gus for Saturday’s 10km Run! 🏃‍♂️💨
The Big Walk is officially upon us this Saturday, 12 September!
Our Operations Manager, Gus Dreyer, has stepped up to the challenge: running the full 10km route to raise funds for the Big Walk.
A starting sponsorship is already on the line, but we want to make sure Gus has zero reason to slow down. Every additional pledge acts as fuel to get them across the finish line—and directly boosts our fundraising total for McClelland Adult Centre.
How to join the pledge:
⚬ Fixed Pledge: Sponsor a set amount (e.g., R50, R100, R200) for completing the run.
⚬ Per-Kilometre Challenge: Pledge an amount for every kilometre completed.
If you would like to add to the sponsorship and push Gus to the limit this Saturday(making him sweat), please reply to this email [email protected] or call the office- 0437411193
Let’s rally together and see how much we can raise!

Market Day & Potjie Competition
We were truly blessed with fantastic weather as temperatures reached a warm 31 degrees. In true East London spirit, the crowds didn't take long to flood into the Centre!

The grounds were buzzing with a vibrant array of stalls alongside our annual "Battle of the Pot" competition. Delicious aromas filled the air as 14 different potjies simmered to perfection. As time ticked down, the tension mounted with the judges making their rounds before officially beginning the taste test. The quiet anticipation that settled over the crowd was a testament to the high standard of competition among this year's potjie kings.

Congratulations to the Rotary Club for Business, who took top honors with a well-deserved victory! Adding to their incredible day, they also won the silent auction, taking home both a 2,000L water tank and a two-night getaway sponsored by Wavecrest Hotel—a complete sweep for the team!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out and contributed to making the day such a huge success. A special mention goes to the staff at McClelland—you all truly rose to the occasion and did an awesome job. Well done, team!
Finally, a massive thank you to all our generous sponsors who made the day that much more special. We truly appreciate your support!

Support McClelland Adult Centre at Our Market Day! 🛍️💙

McClelland Adult Centre needs to raise R100,000 this month to help keep the Centre operating and continue providing a safe, caring, and supportive refuge for our residents.
Our Market Day is one of several fundraising initiatives aimed at helping us work towards this goal. While this event alone may not raise the full amount needed, every stand booked, every purchase made, and every visitor who attends helps us get closer.

Come and enjoy a wonderful community day while supporting a worthy cause. Browse a variety of stalls, support local vendors, and help make a difference in the lives of our residents.
We also encourage you to invite your friends, family, colleagues, and local businesses to attend, book a stand, or make a donation in support of the Centre.

Every contribution counts. Together, we can help ensure that McClelland Adult Centre remains a place of safety, dignity, and care for those who call it home.

Morningside, East London
