Two charities have benefited from £5,156, raised at NFU Scotland’s Annual Dinner held at the Fairmont Hotel, St Andrews on Monday 9 February 2015.
Following the dinner, guests gave donations, which were then split between RHET Fife and Lothians and RSABI.
A cheque for £2,578 was presented to CEO of RSABI, Nina Clancy and a similar amount given to Carole Brunton from RHET Fife on Tuesday, 10 February 2015.
Nina Clancy, RSABI commented:
“RSABI very much appreciates the ongoing support from NFU Scotland and its members. This money will make a real difference to people’s lives.
“RSABI is looking to substantially increase the number of people we help, and this money will assist in that aim.
“If you know someone, please put them in touch. We can offer financial assistance for personal expenses for those who qualify and give information on where to get further help and advice. Call 0131 475 4166 or visit our website www.rsabi.org.uk.”
Carole Brunton, Project Co-ordinator for RHET thanked everyone for their donations and said:
“We are delighted to receive this fantastic sum of money so RHET can continue to take the countryside to the classroom.”
