Home-start Deeside supported by coffee morning
It seems that local banks do have a caring side – RBS Banchory have been in the news recently as they have helped a charity by hosting a coffee morning. Who was the charity and why was the coffee morning held?
The charity is called Home-Start Deeside. It is an organisation made up of volunteers and they aim to promote family life and the positive sides of it. Assistance is free and confidential. Volunteers visit families at home to help with parenting issues, or offer support and practical help for matters relating to family life. There is an emphasis, too, on drawing out the best in parents so that they can pass the benefit of their strengths onto their children. It aims to teach family members to have fun as part of their family life.
This is an excellent charity for RSB Banchory to host. It was a useful fund-raising affair but also helped to raise awareness of the charity and the good that it can do.
Of course, the locals could get together for a natter and drink some coffee as a social way to spend the morning. There was also a food hamper raffle and the bank staff had time to network a little with their clients and customers too.
The bank also used the event to make the locals aware of their new opening times which helps those who are unable to get to the bank on a weekday.
