Heritage Park Wishing Well
Quarter of a million and counting!
During the weekend of 4th/5th October 2020, the 250,000th coin was dropped into the Wishing Well.
Since the Wishing Well was erected in June 2007, over £20,000 has been donated by the generous public of East Kilbride. Over the years, the Wishing Well has given donations to individuals and organisations from East Kilbride who approach the Rotary Club for assistance in particular fund raising or charitable efforts. To date, there have been well over 100 donations made and over 70 different individuals and groups living or operating in East Kilbride have benefitted. Among the beneficiaries have been Dementia Care, Woman’s Aid, East Kilbride Newstape, Special Needs Playgroup, East Kilbride Hospice, Older and Active Group, Ward 19 Hairmyres Hospital, Cardiac Rehab, East Kilbride Community Food Bank, Loaves and Fishes, staff at Sainsbury's fundraising for a defibrillator for their store, various youth groups and individuals and all secondary schools in East Kilbride.
