The Ladies Bowling Club of Gilmerton Miners Welfare raised over £1000 through a series of events for Children 1st recently.
By staging a bowling competition, raffles and a tombola, the ladies generated £1083 and presented a cheque to Sandy Corlett of the organisation.
She said, "We're grateful for the support – it's important for the help we can give local children. "Children 1st works to give children in Scotland a safe and secure childhood, supporting children with difficulties in school. Our team of trained staff help them to express their feelings and learn social skills."
Families can obtain support from Children 1st by calling 0131 468 2580.
