Kind-hearted members of Renfrewshire Referees Association recently presented the veterans of Erskine Hospital with nearly £1200 after a very successful fundraising appeal over Remembrance weekend.
The Referees Association, which covers the Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde areas had asked it’s referees to donate part of their match fees during November but especially around Remembrance Sunday.
President of Renfrewshire Referees Association and Barrhead resident, Barry Cook, was delighted with the amount raised; “My thanks go to everyone who donated part of their fee in recognition of such a worthy cause. The generosity shown by our referees was outstanding and my special thanks go to our Sponsorship and Charities Officer John Reid and referee Andy McMillan for organising everything.
