Lanarkshire supermarket charity carnival rescheduled after Queen's passing

A charity carnival to raise funds for kids with life limiting conditions has been rescheduled following the death of Her Majesty the Queen.

Morrisons Stewartfield was set to put on the fundraiser in aid of sick children last weekend but postponed the event as a mark of respect.

The fun fair will now go ahead on Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2 from 10am till 5pm.

The East Kilbride supermarket has partnered up with Together for Short Lives who help parents of children with life limiting illnesses make life more bearable by providing respite care and financial support.

The store's first fundraising event for the charity will be a carnival in the car park with fun fair rides, food and craft stalls from local vendors, tombola, raffles, face painting and much more.

All money raised will go directly to the charity's two Scots hospices Robin House and Rachel House.

Store community champion Lorraine MacDonald previously told Lanarkshire Live : "This is our first big fundraiser for this charity, as due to COVID everything stopped, so we are going all out and hope to raise as much as possible for this great cause.

"The charity provides comfort, financial help and somewhere for families to stay and spend those precious final moments with their children.

"Please come along and show your support."
