The Bowfield Hotel & Country Club have donated money raised from their Christmas fayre to St Vincent’s Hospice.
The hotel in Howwood, Johnstone, held a Christmas Fayre and Family Fun Day and raised a total of £374.00.
This takes the total raised by the hotel for St Vincent’s Hospice to £2,024.00 for the year.
The total amount has come from various events organized throughout the year. The hotel’s annual 10k raised £1,150, and a further £500 was collected in support of two members of staff who did a zip slide across the River Clyde.

To donate the final amount of £374 gathered from the Christmas Fayre, Hotel Director Fraser Makeham and AURA Spa Manager Laura Dorran visited the hospice to hand over the funds.
The Bowfield Hotel and Country Club is part of the Manorview Group portfolio which comprises nine bespoke hotels across the central belt of Scotland. Also in the portfolio is the luxury Boclair House House in Bearsden, Glasgow, Cornhill Castle near Biggar, Lanarkshire and The Busby Hotel in Busby, Glasgow.
The Group have a charity initiative where every venue works closely with a chosen charity. The Bowfield Hotel and Country Club have been long-term supporters of the nearby St Vincent’s Hospice.
Fraser Makeham, Hotel Director of the Bowfield Hotel & Country Club said, “We’re delighted to support St Vincent’s Hospice. This is a local charity on our doorstep. They do fantastic work and provide much-needed help to people at a time when they and their families need it most”.
Laura McDade, Fundraiser for St Vincent’s Hospice said, “We need close to £6,000 a day and over two million pounds a year to keep the hospice open, but we actually need more than that if we are to care for an increased number of people and provide additional services, particularly for children suffering bereavement. We really cannot thank all the staff at the Bowfield for their incredible efforts throughout the year”.
