St Johnstone Community Trust Festive Friends Project

The St. Johnstone Community Trust has launched its Festive Friends project. Supported by The SPFL Trust, the project will see them host a Christmas event at McDiarmid Park and also deliver Christmas hampers to those in the community who are unable to attend. Would like to nominate any of your constituents, relatives, friends, or neighbours?

Festive Friends is a project which supports older people who are at risk of being alone at Christmas. This year, they are strongly encouraging those who can leave the house to attend their in-person Christmas event. Hampers will be prioritised for those unable to leave the house or who have very limited mobility. Transport support can be made available for those who require it too.
