More than 30 youngsters received an early Christmas present when they were greeted by Santa Claus at a special event organised by Cash for Kids.
Macdonald Pittodrie House, based at Chapel of Garioch, near Inverurie teamed up with Northsound Radio to give sick, disabled and disadvantaged children from across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire some festive cheer.
Boys and girls, aged between four and eight-years old, enjoyed an afternoon tea and a visit to Santa’s Grotto where the children all received a gift from Santa’s elves.
Michael Bauman, General Manager at Macdonald Pittodrie House, said: “It proved to be a tremendous event full of goodwill and it was terrific to see that the kids all went home happy. We’re grateful to Cash for Kids for the opportunity to bring some joy to these young kids who have been through some hard times.
“It’s important for us to support these kinds of events, and not just at this time of year. Not only is giving back the right thing to do but it truly reflects the ethos of the company and it’s something the whole team is immensely proud of.”
In the New Year, the hotel will host a charity ball at cost price in aid of F.R.O.M. Scotland – a charity which supports orphaned children in Malawi, Africa. Further information on the event, which takes place Friday, February 24th.
