Kris Boyd Presentation - 07/05/2018

With Monday being a holiday, several members took the opportunity to visit Kilmarnock F.C. and present a cheque to Kris Boyd as a donation to his charity.  The “Kris Boyd Charity” was one of the main beneficiaries of the money raised at Seagate’s recent Sportsman’s Dinner.

The aim of the charity is to educate people and get people to engage with others when they are in need of help instead of dismissing them or brushing of their feelings as being “weak”. With young people today mental health is being an ever prevalent issue, due to teenagers being so focused on their phones and social media instead of being active and socialising with their peers in person. This also leads to more online bullying as well as unrealistic beauty standards which add mounting pressure on young people, and can lead to mental health issues.

Next week Seagate will be addressed by Eric Greig talking about the “Rise and Fall of Springburn”.
