Moray MP gives helping hand to pensioners

Moray MP Douglas Ross has helped raise £200 for a local pensioners group.

Mr Ross and his team set up a stall outside the constituency office on Forres High Street during the Tour Mercat last month.

They aimed to fundraise for the town’s OAPs group, who meet every Wednesday afternoon at Forres Town Hall.

Activities put on by the team included lucky squares and a human fruit machine where people lined up for the chance to score a win by having three identical pieces of fruit pulled from a cardboard box simultaneously by three different volunteers.

A bottle of House of Commons whisky signed by Speaker John Bercow was up for grabs.

Mr Ross said he was delighted to help amass some funds for the OAP group.

He added: “I was very pleased to be able to hand over the £194 we raised to the Forres OAP group. I understand that by the time they have paid hall rental and expenses that there is little left in the kitty for paid entertainment.

“So this money will go towards paying for that and I hope they have some enjoyable afternoons.”

Moira Tulloch is president of the group, and described the money as a “welcome boost.”

She added: “We always try and organise something for the group every week, whether it be a talk or bingo, because it is quite expensive to get entertainment to come to the hall, so this money will go towards that.

“We are very grateful to Douglas for thinking of us.”
