Celebrating Community, Achievements and Togetherness
The warmer weather has been welcomed with great enthusiasm at McClelland, and our residents have already been making the most of our swimming pools!
There is nothing quite like seeing our residents enjoying the sunshine, having fun and making the most of the summer months ahead.
A sincere thank you to our maintenance team for keeping the pools in pristine condition and ensuring they are ready for everyone to enjoy.
Our Annual Big Walk on 12 September was a day filled with excitement, enthusiasm and wonderful community spirit!
One of the highlights was the arrival of this year’s Big Walk T-shirts. Featuring our two much-loved donkeys, the shirts were an instant hit with our residents. They were incredibly proud to receive their new shirts and couldn’t wait to wear them!
A huge thank you to BKR Attorneys for sponsoring both the T-shirts and the Big Walk. This marks the fourth consecutive year that BKR Attorneys has supported this event, and we are immensely grateful for their continued generosity and commitment to McClelland.
Participants could choose between a 5 km and a 10 km route, ensuring there was a challenge for everyone.
Our Operations Manager decided to take things a step further and accepted the challenge of running the 10 km route! Joined by a number of equally adventurous friends of McClelland, he successfully completed the distance.
Well done to everyone who participated and contributed towards making this year’s Big Walk such a success. Your support helps us continue making a positive difference in the lives of our residents.
Our final major event for the year is an exciting fundraising challenge — the annual McClelland Cycle Tour from Aliwal North to East London!
Starting on 26 November and finishing at McClelland on the morning of 29 November, the team will cover approximately 400 km over four days.
Our Operations Manager and his fellow cyclists will take on this demanding challenge to raise funds and awareness for McClelland Adult Centre.
Throughout the tour, we will share daily updates on our Facebook page, allowing you to follow the team’s progress and share in their journey.
We encourage all our parents, friends, supporters and the wider community to get behind our riders and cheer them on along the way.
Every kilometre ridden is for a worthwhile cause, helping us continue providing care, support and opportunities for our residents.
Let’s support our team and cheer them all the way to McClelland!
It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of our inaugural Golf Day due to circumstances beyond our control.
This was a particularly difficult decision, as we had been looking forward to introducing this exciting fundraising initiative to our calendar.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the parents and friends of McClelland who supported the event and contributed towards making it possible. We truly appreciate your willingness to get involved and support our Centre.
We are disappointed that the event could not proceed as planned and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Your continued support means a great deal to us, and we look forward to exploring future opportunities to bring the McClelland community together.
Thank you for being part of the McClelland family.
Whether you walk, cycle, swim, donate or simply spread the word, your support helps us continue our work and enrich the lives of our residents.
Together, we make a difference!
