Halloween celebrations raise £1,000 for SAMH at Clark Contracts

Clark Contracts employees came together on Friday 30th October for the company’s annual Halloween fundraiser, raising £1,000 in support of its nominated charity, SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health).

The event, which has been held annually for over 15 years, saw employees take part in a fancy-dress competition, with costumes inspired by Only Fools and Horses, The Traitors, Toy Story, Minions and WWE wrestlers, among others.

Fellow employees judged the entries, with the best costume prize going to the Refurbishment Estimating department, who dressed as characters from Only Fools and Horses.



There was also a Halloween bake-off competition and bake sale, with a voucher awarded to the best baker. Employees enjoyed pizza alongside competitive team games such as ‘wrap the mummy’ and a marshmallow eating challenge. A raffle added to the celebrations, with the winner receiving a voucher for an overnight stay for two at the voco Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow.

Gordon Cunningham, managing director, Clark Contracts, said: “It’s great to see the continued enthusiasm our staff bring to the Halloween fundraiser in support of SAMH. Thank you to everyone who joined in and contributed to this year’s event. We’re proud to support the charity’s vital work in communities across Scotland, and we have now raised over £38,000 for SAMH.”

SAMH delivers on-the-ground services in more than 70 communities across Scotland, providing housing support, care at home, employability services, care homes and counselling. The charity also campaigns nationally on issues including suicide prevention and the mental health of children and young people.
