Clark Contracts recently hosted a successful Halloween fundraiser, raising over £1,000 for their nominated company charity, SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health).
The event, held on Friday 25th October, saw employees donning a variety of costumes, from Still Game characters to the Addams Family. The Finance Department took home the prize for best costume, with their impressive portrayal of the iconic Addams Family.
To raise funds, employees participated in a range of activities, including a Halloween cake sale and a 'balloon room' challenge. A raffle was also held, with the lucky winner receiving a voucher for a luxurious overnight stay at the voco Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow.
The event was a resounding success, demonstrating the company's commitment to supporting mental health initiatives and giving back to the community.
Gordon Cunningham, Managing Director, Clark Contracts added: "Having reached a fundraising milestone for SAMH earlier this year, with over £20,000 raised for the charity, it is great to see our employees continue to support our fundraising efforts. This annual event is always enjoyed by employees, and it was great to see so many get involved in the fancy dress competition and games."
Rachel Bottomley, Account Manager at SAMH said: "Colleagues at Clark Contracts have shown incredible generosity and commitment, and we are profoundly thankful. Their support has allowed us to reach more individuals with the resources and care they need. We appreciate their unwavering dedication and are excited to continue our impactful work together."
SAMH has on-the-ground services in over 70 communities in Scotland. These include housing support, care at home, employability services, care homes and counselling. They campaign at a national level on key issues ranging from suicide prevention to children and young people’s mental health.
