Steve Harris, the FX Chair, was invited by the Deacon at the Trades House of Glasgow to receive a cheque. The Bakers organized a charity dinner, auction, and raffle to support Fragile X, and their generous efforts raised an impressive sum for the Society.
The Trades House of Glasgow was established during the reform of Glasgow’s local government in 1605. During this period, the electorate was primarily split into two categories: the Merchants and the Craftsmen. The Craft Incorporations were headed by the Deacon Convener, who was granted a council seat that is still held today.
Trades House was established to help protect and support the Crafts people of the City. Over the centuries it housed the Trades Free School for boys and girls, worked closely with educational establishments within Glasgow. The Trades House of Glasgow is a charity, supporting those in need by engaging the skills and commitment of the Incorporated Crafts, to develop the many educational projects to support charitable initiatives.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to organizing, attended, and donated at the event.
