My sincere condolences to the Fleeting family at this very sad time. I will always have heartfelt gratitude to Jim for all his advice and wisdom over the years with regard to my bids to purchase KFC . His advice was unmeasurable⚽️ Jim Fleeting was a giant in Scottish Football from a national perspective and a local community level. He put people and the fans always 1st. I will always remember his passion at Kilmarnock FC and for youth football across Ayrshire and Scotland. #KTID 💙🤍

International Women’s Day 2026 💜 ‘WOMEN’s Voices: let them sing again. “This international women’s day I am proud to support Heather and the ‘Largs Community Development Trust’ in North Ayrshire”. Research finds women's organisations receive less than 2% of charitable funding (not a typo). As women are 51% of the population in Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, by definition they are not just a significant group but a majority group in terms of local communities - and the criteria for this fund. @irvinetimes @ScottishSun #IWD26 #GiveToGain

Football’s Coming Home ⚽️Dean Thistle Football Club Kilmarnock. The best part of my job is meeting some amazing people in the heart of our communities❤️ Tonight I met the next Ronald, Messi and Zidane to name a few… These boys made my day with their 😂chat, football knowledge and football skills. They are amazing. I supported three organisations in my Christmas 2025 campaign one being the fantastic Dean Thistle FC ,young players. Mark McGhee is one of the team coaches. Mark and all the fantastic volunteer coaches drive this great club and Kilmarnock is very lucky to have great people supporting our youngsters. HALO sponsored new branded hoodies and helped with costs supporting their forthcoming football tournament trip to Blackpool. Mark | Dean Thistle Football Club | facebook.com/DeanThistleFC?… | Kilmarnock – “The support provided will directly empower our young squad by providing branded hoodies that foster team identity and pride, while also helping fund towards our football trip to Blackpool –  a milestone experience that builds resilience, camaraderie, and ambition. It’s more than financial support; it’s a legacy gesture that inspires belief in every player and strengthens our grassroots movement within our community and shows the level of commitment that HALO and Marie have shown towards our 2016’s team. Thank you so much”. Good Luck To All #BringItHome #Blackpool 🏆⚽️

A great broadcaster who always is ahead of the curve and reported from every area of Scotland when others left our communities unheard. Thank You Douglas for highlighting the Kilmarnock story and that out of the demise of Johnnie Walker exit (700 job losses) came the HALO story. Good Luck and I look forward to your continuing story. #KeepWalking .

Some personal news…

REGENERATION | RENEWAL | RESILIENCE SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Turning a personal tragedy into ‘Hope’. Interview with @holyroodmandy @HolyroodDaily Finally the facts. Forget the fiction … this is me and why I will never give up fighting for our communities,women, children,pensioners, veterans … When you reach rock bottom with a health scare you either fight to win or die. "We worked in low-cost housing in some of the most challenging areas in Scotland, and I needed a big deal to take things forward. I started packaging up brownfield sites and old buildings in Kilmarnock for redevelopment and the big story, the breakthrough, was we did a deal and introduced Morrisons PLC food stores to Scotland, in 2004 the first one, and that gave me the money and the opportunity to then take that cash and put it into listed buildings projects, my community projects, and invest in people ‘Hope’ that were less fortunate than i had been. And that was how this journey, this new life, my regeneration, and really my rebirth started." ✌️ #NeverGiveUp Link to full article.👇 mariemacklin.co.uk/having-the-bot…
