In the Community
Each year we are pleased to be able to support a number of charities, though by no means not all those that approach us. In 2009 we have supported the Mull Mod, Tobermory RNLI day, Tobermory Fire Station Open Day, the Mull Half Marathon, Aros Hall, Tobermory Golf Club, Tobermory Endeavour and Friends of Mull theatre.
We give the vast bulk of our redundant furniture and fittings to MESS for their shop in Craignure, the profits from which support numerous island charities.
Esplin has a role as director of Shared Care Scotland whose aims include providing information about respite and short breaks to carers as well as sharing best practice with all those involved in caring, both professionally and personally.
Looking to the future we hope to hold an annual fund raising carol concert. In the past this has enabled us to donate a significant amount of money to a number of charities including Rachel House children's hospice and to the Samaritans.
In 2010 we hosted the Tobermory Horticultural Society Spring Flower Show, the first Spring show it has held for a number of years.
