Greenock Town Hall sparkled with festive cheer on Tuesday, 9th December as Cloch Housing Association hosted its annual Christmas Celebration, welcoming tenants and their families for an evening filled with entertainment, prizes, and seasonal fun
Guests were greeted by two real reindeer at the entrance, setting the tone for a magical night. Inside, the hall was transformed with sparkling decorations and lively music courtesy of Generation Events. Families enjoyed a balloon tent for photo opportunities, face painting, and balloon art, while RIG Arts inspired creativity with a craft corner where guests made their own Christmas decorations.
The entertainment didn’t stop there—Billy Reid, a finalist for Close-Up Magician of the Year, wowed the crowd with mind-bending tricks, and even the Grinch made a mischievous appearance! Santa’s Grotto was a highlight for children, and guests were kept well-fed with delicious food, snacks, and drinks throughout the evening.
Alana Durnin, Cloch’s CEO, said:
“The event was fantastic from start to finish, and it was wonderful to catch up with our tenants and their families. A huge thank you to our contractors and suppliers who donated toys and gifts for the raffle—prizes included a 50-inch TV, a Nintendo console with games, and tablet devices. I’m immensely proud of our staff team for organising such a memorable celebration.”
Michael Monaghan, Director of Customer Services and Communities, added:
“Our work at Cloch goes beyond providing homes. We want to create opportunities for people to come together and share experiences, and that’s what this Christmas Celebration was all about—community and connection. Seeing families enjoy the festive spirit together is what makes events like this so special.”
Cloch extends heartfelt thanks to its partners and contractors whose generous donations made the evening possible, including Allied Surveyors, Alpha Comm Systems, Alwurk Electrical, Argon Technical, Caledonian Maintenance Services, Clyde Care Ltd, Clyde Tool Hire, Ethos Facilities, Glasgow City All Trades, Inverweld Welding & Fabrication, James Frew, Newark Decorators Ltd, Patten & Prentice, Quantum, Rubixx, Smiths of Greenock, and Whyte & Christie.
