On Friday 29th September, we took part in the World's Biggest Coffee Morning for the first time since 2019. Our volunteers and staff baked up a storm and the Friends of Craigtoun provided the teas and coffees, all of which was available in the Craigtoun Cafe for donations to Macmillan. To add a touch of "Craigtoun" to the event, our driving volunteers ran free Puffin' Billy transfers between the Front Gate and the Cafe for the duration of the event. All in all, we raised a very credible £530.67 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Hello, I’m Jan and I’m a volunteer for Friends of Craigtoun. I have been coming to St. Andrews on holiday with my family since I was a toddler and a highlight was always our visits to Craigtoun Park
Several years ago, I was advised to attend an NHS sponsored fitness class in Cupar as I had health problems and it was there that I met Tom, a volunteer at Craigtoun Country Park, and Kyff Roberts, who was the Chairman of the Friends of Craigtoun Country Park. I live just five minutes away from the Park in Strathkinness but had not visited the place in over 30 years.
When I heard that Craigtoun was in danger of closing and that a determined group of people were going to try and ensure that didn’t happen, I was only too glad to help in any way I could. Like many people in this area, I had known and loved Craigtoun all my life and the thought of losing this gem didn’t bear thinking about.
