The Friends of Oban
Hospice are the fund raising arm of Oban Hospice Ltd who run the Dove Centre in
Stevenson Street. This is the 17th year that they have participated
in the world wide Light Up a Life event.
This year also sees
a new initiative starting up at the Dove Centre called “Cairdeas” or
“friendship” in Gaelic which will offer befriending and support services for
our Community.
President Kees said
“ The Rotary Club of Oban are very proud to support everything that is done
through the Dove Centre and to help as much as possible to assist the Friends
of Oban Hospice with their huge fundraising efforts. Very well done to all
concerned it’s a fantastic thing you do". We look forward to hearing how the new Cairdeas
Initiative is progressing.

A total of 8,370 subscription forms have been sent out for this year's event and the cost of printing the forms, the envelopes and the posting thereof has been covered to the extent of £1,000 by the Rotary Club of Oban. Oban Rotary President Iain Mac Intyre , who is also Chairman of "The Friends", is seen here receiving the cheque from Rotary Secretary David Finlayson with other Rotarians and members of "The Friends" also present.
