We celebrated Burns Day in style with traditional haggis, neeps & tatties.
Our Volunteer, Ian, addressed the haggis with much enthusiasm after it was piped into the dining room.

This was a fantastic fund raiser for Drumdarroch, only made possible by the generosity of local businesses, relatives of our residents, residents of Insch and staff who donated to the event. We had some amazing prizes!
Also, thanks to Angie, who did an amazing job of contacting local businesses for us. Thanks to all who bought tickets and congratulations to all the winners!

Activity afternoon at Drumdarroch
In December we held an Activity Afternoon for the children and grandchildren of our residents and staff.
We wrote letters to Santa, made reindeer food and Christmas crafts. The children sang Christmas songs and
we had a visit from Santa. He arrived in a tractor this year! Everybody had their photos taken with him and his elf.
It was a fantastic, fun, very noisy day!! I’ve even heard that Santa wrote back to the letters we sent him!
