We feel incredibly lucky to have won a ticket bundle to your Easter Trail event—made possible by the kindness of everyone who nominated us—and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be!
Charlotte and the entire team went above and beyond from start to finish. From the thoughtful communication while organising our visit, to arranging an exclusive session just for our families, every detail was handled with such care, warmth, and generosity.
Yesterday was nothing short of magical. The joy, laughter, and excitement on every child’s face said it all—smiles from beginning to end. It was so special to see our children connecting with one another, and families coming together, sharing such a wholesome and uplifting experience.
This opportunity means more than words can express. It gave our families a truly once-in-a-lifetime day, full of happiness, connection, and unforgettable memories that we will cherish forever.
Thank you for your kindness, your big hearts, and for creating such an incredible experience for us all 💫
A very special shout out to Nicci and Donna for choosing to support GDCS and helping make our Easter event so special. Your kind donation of Easter eggs meant that every child attending our event today at Drumshalloch Farm went home with a smile and a treat to enjoy 🐣🍫
Your kindness truly made a difference, and we are so grateful for your support in bringing joy to our community. Thank you again! 🌟
To everyone joining us tomorrow at the Drumshalloch Farm Easter Egg Trail – we’re so excited to see you all! 🐰🥚✨
The event is going ahead as planned, and it’s shaping up to be a fantastic day full of fun and adventure. 🌿💛
