A Moray ice cream parlour, famed for its whacky creations, is offering customers the chance to create their own unique flavour in an effort to aid Ukrainians affected by war.
One lucky person will be presented with the opportunity to go behind the scenes at Fochabers Ice Cream Parlour before creating their own taste.
Staff wished to play their part in assisting fundraising efforts after seeing images from Ukraine following the Russian invasion.
Proceeds will aid Red Cross’ efforts
In order to win the experience, ice cream enthusiasts will have to purchase a lucky number for £2.
All proceeds are to go towards assisting the work of the British Red Cross who are providing support to Ukrainians fleeing the war.
Owner Sheila Gray explained: “We always like to support lots of different charity events.
“The girls came up with this idea for £2 per lucky number and the winner would be able to create their own ice cream.
“They will come and help me make it and they will get sundaes at the end after they finish their creation.
I want to assure people that their money will make a difference in efforts to help Ukrainians amidst the war.”

“Our hearts go out to everyone in Ukraine and it is heartbreaking seeing the suffering.
“I’m pleased to see Moray communities doing so much to help.
“I want to assure people that their money will make a difference in efforts to help Ukrainians amidst the war.”
Ice cream parlour known for different flavours
In 2019, the shop hit the headlines for a haggis and potato scone topped whisky-flavour for Burns Night, described by one customer as “better than sex”.
And in 2020, sweet and sour sauce was on the menu to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Mrs Gray added: “We have always put in the effort to make ourselves different with the range of flavours.
“We have made flavours like macaroni cheese and haggis and potato scone over the years.
“Now people have the chance to win the experience and at the same time help raise money.”
Numbers can be purchased via the parlour’s Facebook page or by popping into the shop.
