Moray MP Douglas Ross has recognised the charitable work of his constituents during Christian Aid Week.
He said: “Last year, local volunteers raised an amazing £18,079 in Moray alone which contributed to the overall fundraising effort of the country, which was £8million.
“This is a terrific community effort made possible by the generous donations of many and the hard work and willingness of volunteers to undertake collections or arrange community events, particularly lunches.
“It was great to pop in and see the team in Forres as well who were collecting on the street and hosting a lunch in the church hall.
“I’m pleased that the Leader of the House, Andrea Leadsom MP, was able to join me in paying tribute to all the volunteers up and down the country involved in Christian Aid Week and she highlighted those volunteers in Moray who have championed this cause.”
In the House of Commons, Ms Leadsom said: “I am delighted to join Douglas in paying tribute to the fantastic volunteers up and down the country fundraising for Christian Aid Week, particularly in his constituency.
“It is a great tribute to all those involved their incredible work continues to this day.”
