Paisley gets a bad name but the Buddies are a great bunch.

Marc from Malatso here.
Christmas day went really well. I just wanted to say thanks for the kind words and support.
Thank you :smiley:

lol i took some food and left

Nice

Well said.

PR they did this on the quiet, it was only when the local paper were informed that there was a story put on the SWEP website. They did this on their own backs mate not for PR, some like the organizers in both Swansea and Paisley actually care. If helping people is considered a PR stunt then i am lost for words. Its also insulting to those who do help in this way. 365 days a year help the homeless do not ask them to be removed from their door and generally are welcoming. They have given their christmas day to help. Would you do the same? That tax argument is getting old now as well. Get a sense of perspective will you.

Costa have only one reason for doing it and that's P R the rest of the year they will have the homeless moved away from their door by police, that's when they aren't too busy avoiding paying tax which could be spent on better social services!!! not one of these companies are doing this for purely altruistic reasons, because these people will be forgotten for another year if they live that long. Before anyone decides to jump down my throat I am speaking from experience and other than when its freezing cold or Christmas people ignore the problem

What a wonderful, kind, thoughtful and caring deed to do by such marvellous people and i do hope you all have an amazing New Year, God Bless You

takes a lot to warm my heart but this has done just that.well done every one who is involved n a very merry christmas xx

that is really great. i'd like to visit old age pensioners who are alone for christmas to cheer them up.
may cheer me up as well :smiley:

Local councils throughout the country should support this kind of thing. Get together with local businesses and arrange something for the needy and less fortunate as well as the lonely.

Good post, now who says there is a north south divide...
keep posting those who are doing such good job....

Excellent gesture and fully deserved publicity for the business.

heat added for thinking of other's less fortunate before profit :smiley:

Normally I hate advertising, but on this occasion, at least the viral money spinning machine gives something back .
