Black tie event raises £1k for charity
The black-tie event took place at the development where HND Photograhy students from New College Lanarkshire were out in force to capture the images of the award winners.
Awards were presented by Provost Una Walker for a number of categories, from the ‘Unsung Heroes’ award, which recognises those who have gone out their way to make Whitehill Court a better place to be, to the ‘Full of Life’ award celebrating tenants’ enthusiasm.

Hide AdUna said: “Bringing a bit of glitz and glamour to Whitehill, the awards have been a roaring success and I’m delighted to have played a supporting role.
“There is an outstanding sense of community here and I think that was evident tonight.”
The £1,000 raised by the event was donated to the Children’s Hospice Glasgow as determined by Whitehill Court’s social committee who created and organised the awards.
Funds were raised through tickets to the event, a raffle and the 10,000 steps a day challenge which staff and tenants completed.
