Calendar sales boost for Kirkcaldy's Cottage Centre Christmas appeal

Kirkcaldy company Multiprint has pledged to donate 50 per cent of money raised from the sale of its 2021 calendars to the lifeline fundraiser.

The designer and colour print company has generously pledged to give £5 to the Cottage Family Centre from every sale.

Jay Todd, managing director, said: “If there is a positive aspect to the current situation we are in, it has been the shift toward thinking locally, and, as a local business, we wanted to help those in need on our doorstep.

“It is difficult to imagine children and families at Christmas time without presents, let alone food. We are delighted to pledge our support to the Cottage knowing that in our small way for some Christmas will still happen.”

The support was warmly welcomed by Pauline Buchan, strategic manager of the Cottage.

She said: “This year, children and families who live in poverty need our support more than ever before.

“All of the money raised will be used to buy food, toys and clothes to ensure no child goes without.”She added: ““We are overwhelmed by the support we have already received, and can’t thank Multiprint enough for what it is doing for us.”

The full colour calendars – which feature stunning images from around Fife taken by local people – are on sale priced at £10 from Multiprint’s office in Seafield Road, Kirkcaldy, by calling (01592) 204755 or through the ShopAppy Kirkcaldy page https://shopappy.com/kirkcaldy/

You can also get involved and make sure that no child or family is hungry, cold or without any presents this Christmas in other ways too.
