Community projects
In our community, we proudly organise and support a wide range of activities and initiatives that help make Westhill a welcoming, vibrant, and caring place to live.
It has been a busy and productive year for the Community & Vocational Committee, characterized by a steady commitment to local environmental and social efforts. Our environmental initiatives remain a core focus, with successful litter picks running from June through October and resuming this past March; these sessions continue to see a strong turnout and significant collections of rubbish. We have also maintained the Rotary Stone through regular shrub trimming and the recent application of fresh wood chips from Denman Park to keep the site in excellent condition. We are currently working on securing an approved contractor to install lighting at the stone to further enhance this local landmark.
Our presence at major community events was equally strong this year. We provided essential support through car parking at the Echt Show in July and by manning the gates at the Aboyne Show in August. One of our most heartening highlights was the Senior Citizen Christmas party in December, which welcomed 150 attendees for an afternoon of festive fellowship. More recently, we provided transport support for the Trinity Action Group in March and assisted with stall-manning during the "Lazy Sunday" afternoon event.
