🏛️ A Very Special Honour 🏛️
We were absolutely delighted (and shocked 😱) to be presented with a framed copy of a motion lodged in the Scottish Parliament by David Linden MSP in recognition of our Main Street Pavement Festival 💛
To be honest, we had no idea this was even a thing! We certainly don’t organise the Main Street Pavement Festival each year for such a recognition. We genuinely do it purely because we love our community 🥰 and believe effort is so important.
You can’t just open your doors and just expect folk walk through them. Giving back and building relationships is so very important. Plus I think we have a special responsibility. We have so much fun every year. We met people who have loved and lost their loved ones to Cancer as well as those who came out for the first time after remission. It’s so emotional but an important reminder to continue to make the effort.
We enjoy bringing everyone together and what better way to do it than have some fun and raise money for some fantastic causes at the same time!!
I really do appreciate that David took the time to recognise the hard work that does go into the festival and I cannot believe 7 MSPs supported the motion 🤩 ( SEVEN!??) What a wonderful honour; Not just for us but for the community too!
I also want to say a massive thank you to our brilliant team ❤️ The motion not only recognises the shop but our whole team! We all know how much work, effort and enthusiasm goes on behind the scenes to make the festival happen. We couldn’t do it without you! 🫶🏼
That being said don’t forget that it’s not just us; we couldn’t make it the success it is without the generosity of all the local businesses who donated prizes, vouchers, food and even their time to help make the day such a success.
Your support means so much and is a huge part of what makes the festival possible. 👏
This year, thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone who came along, donated and supported us, our final count raised was £3,066.56 for Beatson Cancer Charity and The Daffodil Club. 💛
Finally, thanks to the AMAZING community we are lucky enough to have here in Baillieston. Without you, none of this is possible.
This recognition is really for all of you. 🥰
Thank you! ❤️
Live Love Londis
💛 Nats and the entire Londis family 💛
