CHARITY

Castlegate is proud to support both local and national charities, and believe in promoting good causes and supporting the children to learn about the benefit of helping others.

At the end of 2018, this included twinning a toilet at Castlegate with a toilet in Nepal through a lovely organisation called Toilet Twinning, who Christine met at the Scottish Learning Festival!

We support Meetings of Minds, both through an annual fundraising event (last year we had a collection at our Sports Day) and through hosting meetings/ events for them.

Every year we also donate money to the Special Care Baby Unit at the Borders General Hospital, which is done through The Difference charity at the hospital.  We collect this from our very generous parents and families at our annual Nativity Play.

In the past year or so we’ve been regular supporters of Comic Relief, Children in Need, and CHAS, who all do a wonderful job to support children and families who really need help, encouragement and support.  Our brilliant staff team can often be found raising sponsorship for charities that mean a lot to them like Alzheimers’ Scotland.
