Bumps and All offers support to young families in Clackmannan. The popularity has quickly grown beyond the town.
Agnes Neeson created the group. It initially met in the Bruce Lounge. The group’s popularity quickly grew past Clackmannan. Agnes was surprised by this fast growth. She knew their services were greatly needed.
They only meet for coffee on Thursdays now. Yet, they offer support all the time. Many people from nearby towns wanted to join them. The group moved to a bigger hall to help more people. It’s the Clackmannan Guide and Scout Hall.
They plan budget-friendly family fun. They also stay open during school breaks now. Laura Beedie helps Agnes with Bumps and All. They give clothes and gear to parents. They use “grown out of – growing into” boxes.
Donations from the community aided the group. They gave 32 gifts in 14 weeks to families. A local girl felt like a princess again. The group helped her after hard times.
Laura finds helping through Bumps and All rewarding. Her gran always said to help others. The group meets Thursdays, 9 to 11 AM. The location is Clackmannan Scout and Guide Hall. Any carers and children are welcome.
