The Moira Anderson Foundation marked the 65th anniversary of the Coatbridge schoolgirl’s disappearance with a poignant remembrance ceremony and an important new development at the charity set up in her honour.
A service of reflection was held at the Dunbeth Park memorial bench dedicated to the 11-year-old, attended by charity volunteers and founder Sandra Brown, along with friends and representatives of Moira’s family.
It came on the same day as the charity officially opened a major expansion of its Mavisbank Street premises, creating much-needed new treatment and play therapy rooms for its work with those affected by childhood sexual abuse.
