Donations
Since the gallery opened in August 2009, we have sought to donate income from the gallery and other sources to support charities both local and international in memory of 'Worldwidecon' who passed away tragically in 2009, and more recently in memory of Debbie who was the driving force behind the White Stork Gallery.
Over the years we have made several donations to a range of different charities and community projects with a particular emphasis on trying to improve the lives of vulnerable children. In 2024 we focused our efforts in supporting our local Rotary Club in helping them raise funds to address the mental and physical well being of those most in need. We have also helped towards facilitating a literacy project in one of the local primary schools, where due to lack of local government funding the school has been unable to maintain an adequate library of books for children to read.
As we start 2025 there remains so much hatred and sadness in the world it is difficult to know where the greatest need is and what we can do to lessen some of the suffering which prevails. Nonetheless, we will continue to try and help in some small way in everlasting memory of 'Worldwidecon' and Debbie. Two beautiful souls who were taken from us too young.
November 2025: Just a quick update on donations this year as we approach the end of 2025. We will be making a donation to the Rotary Club of Nairn who in conjunction with the Nairnshire Farming Society and the Nairn Junior Agriculture Club will be undertaking an Illuminated Tractor Run raising funds for several locally based charities namely: A Helping Hand in the Highlands, Farmstrong Scotland, The Oxygen Works as well as a special community project at Nairn Academy.
