Knights of St. Columbia donates to Alloa care home Residents fundResidents at HC-One’s The Orchard care home in Alloa recently received a very kind donation from the Knights of St. Columbia Catholic fraternal service society.

The Orchard home administrator, Diane Doig, recently received a phone call from Jim Bryce, Treasurer of The Knights of St. Columbia, saying he would like donate a cheque for the Residents fund on behalf of the society. 

Colleagues at the home gladly accepted the donation and Jim McKay, Chairperson, came down and presented Home Manager Fiona Johnstone and Deputy Manager Janet Carroll with a cheque for £200 for the Residents fund.

One of The Orchards Residents liked the "chain of honour" the chairperson wore, she said, “what a lovely necklace he was wearing, it was really shiny.”

Fiona Johnston, Home Manager at The Orchard said: “Many thanks to The Knights of St. Columbia, this will be put towards buying Smart TV's for the Residents lounges to allow video calls on large screens for easy viewing.”
