Chief Executive David McArthur
Hi welcome to our news section this allows us to quickly update you on any developments taking place within Trefoil
The Annual Trefoil Golf 4 Grants Tournament took place at Royal Burgess on Tuesday 8 June 2010. Fourteen teams took part in the competition on a typical Scottish summer day, ie it rained all day until the last team made it back to the Clubhouse! Each golfer collected a goody bag at the start of their round and the contents helped to sustain them. Our thanks go to A G Barr for the Strathmore Mineral Water, Tesco at Hermiston Gait for the sweet and savoury snacks and the Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre for the whisky.
The economic downturn meant a less than full complement of teams took part. However, the teams’ enthusiasm and support for Trefoil raised over £3,000. The silent auction raised over £500 and a varied selection of raffle prizes, many donated by the participating teams, helped to boost the total. The funds raised help Trefoil to support children and young people both at home here in Scotland and across the world. ....(more)

Trefoil has been supporting the Children and Young People of Chernobyl via the Chernobyl Children’s Charity with educational grants for over two years. During a recent visit to Scotland by around twenty of the Children, they presented David McArthur the Chief Executive of Trefoil with a plaque in appreciation of the support provided. Currently Trefoil is providing sponsored University Places allowing the 2nd generation of Children and Young People who have been affected by the Nuclear accident to be educated in their own area in professions beneficial to the people of Belarus. All of the Children are staying with Scottish hosts and the visit is being co-ordinated by the Chernobyl Childrens Lifeline http://www.chernobyl-childrens-charity.co.uk.

Although the uptake of places has been reduced this year due to the economic downturn the event has still attracted enough participants to make it worthwhile as a fundraiser. This is due to the loyalty of those who have supported us in the past and the quality of the event.

Going wild in the North
Holidays can mean so much and provide young and old with new experiences and happy memories. The Holiday provided to Dylan, Anissa and Katrina enabled a much overdue family reunion in the North of England.We went shopping to Keswick, only 5 or 6 miles away. Dylan found pies and a chocolate shop, Anissa and Katrina found a very large football.
Please once again thank all concerned for their kindness and consideration.....(more)
