Dunoon’s famous Esplanade Hotel hosted a very special Fundraising Teddy Bear’s Picnic today, even though because of the weather it all started indoors. Every year the Shergill family, SGE Hotels, choose a local charity to raise funds for by hosting a charity fun day and auction at one of their properties. 
This year they hosted an event here in Dunoon at The Esplanade Hotel with all the proceeds going to Cornerstone CLASP the Scottish charity and provider of social care services to over 2,600 adults, children and young people with disabilities and other support needs
