Despite having to cancel its annual ladies lunch at The Woll, supporters hosted ‘ladies little lunches’ in their own homes instead.

“This was a good example of how our supporters have gone the extra mile for us in what has been a very difficult year,” said secretary Mary Smail. “The lunches and raffle raised over £4,000, which was a fantastic outcome.

“Our grateful thanks go to Selkirk and the surrounding community – this is as much your award as it is ours!”

The next event being held by the committee will be its pop-up shop in Tower Street, which takes place on November 17 & 18, where Christmas cards, baking and preserves will be on sale, along with the traditional hamper raffle.
