Rich Man Poor Man Dinner
Trashion Show and Easter Bonnet Parade
A Rich Man Poor Man Dinner is a unique dining experience. At each table of 8, one person is served a "Rich Man" meal consisting of a starter, main course and dessert. 7 people are served a "Poor Man" meal, which consists of a modestly portioned vegetarian meal or rice, as is typically eaten by 90% of the world's population.The decision about who will recieve which meal is based on pure chance and occurs at the event itself.
In hosting this event, we wish not only to raise funds, but also to raise awareness about global and local poverty. It is not intended to make people feel guilty, but to direct attention where it is needed.
While enjoying your food the entertainment will be a Trashion Show by our after school children and an Easter Bonnet Parade by all our children.
Tickets: Adults £3, Children £1

Litter Pick
The children got involved in 'Clean Glasgow'. We took part in a litter pick which took place along Baillieston main street. We were out for around half an hour doing our bit to help the community. We all enjoyed using the litter pickers and had fun looking at some things we found on the streets. Everyone took part and there was no objections, although not all of the girls thought the High Visability vests were very attractive but knew they had to wear them for safety. We cleaned up loads of litter and enjoyed the time out.
