A Piece of Hamilton’s History? 🪟💙

This remarkable leaded stained glass window was recently donated to LAMH Charity Shop after our van team carefully collected and transported it back to the shop.

The lady who donated it believes it may date back to around 1854. While we’re still researching its history, she told us she simply couldn’t bear the thought of it ending up in a skip. She felt it represented too much history to be lost.

We couldn’t agree more.

Whether it really dates from 1854 or a little later, it’s a beautiful example of traditional craftsmanship and a reminder that some donations carry stories stretching back generations.

Rather than rushing to sell it, we’re considering preserving it as a permanent feature in the shop, allowing everyone who visits to enjoy it while helping to preserve a small piece of history for the community.

If anyone recognises the style, knows where it may have come from, or has experience with historic stained glass, we’d love to hear from you in the comments.

Every donation has a story. Sometimes, that story spans more than a century.

Meet Eileen 💚

Eileen joined LAMH in 2023 and quickly became a valued member of the team. She says volunteering at LAMH “was meant to be” 😊 and loves the sense of camaraderie that comes from being part of such a supportive group.

Some of her favourite memories include everything from bowling trips and days out at Ben Lomond to the way everyone pulled together after the shop flood. That team spirit is what makes LAMH so special.

Known as the Queen of Halloween and festivities, Eileen brings fun, creativity and enthusiasm to every celebration. 🎃✨

Her hidden talent is particularly impressive. She can write the same word backwards with her left hand while writing it forwards with her right hand at the same time, and she’s also skilled at mirror writing! 😄

Thank you, Eileen, for all the positivity, laughter and community spirit you bring to LAMH. 💙🌟

Meet Louise 💚

Louise has been part of the LAMH family for over 9 years. During her time with us, one of the things she has enjoyed most is meeting new people and building connections with volunteers, staff and customers.

One of her funniest memories happened while working behind the till. As she went to sit down, the chair decided it had other plans and rolled away from her! 💺😄

We’re so grateful for Louise’s dedication, warmth and sense of humour. Thank you for everything you do, Louise! 🌟💙
