A Moray charity has received a late Christmas present in the form of a bumper donation amassed by Buckie High School over the festive period.
Sixth year pupils at the school raised nearly £3,500 for the Logan’s Fund children’s cancer group by crafting and selling unique “snowmannie” figurines.
The creative youngsters handmade the decorations from little more than socks, buttons, rice and ribbons.
Pupils Erin McKenzie, Megan McGowan, Isla McRae, Emmy-Jo Munro, Niamh Paterson and Taylor Patient were mentored by teacher Sarah Matthews during the project.
They marketed the trinkets during community events throughout December, and at various Christmas fairs.
And they handed over the generous pledge to a special visitor to the school this week.
Elgin seven-year-old Ehryn Andrews was diagnosed with an osteosarcoma tumour in her pelvis on her sixth birthday in October 2014.
After enduring months of intense treatment and suffering heart failure last year, the brave youngster is now in remission from cancer.
Logan’s Fund has paid for her family to enjoy a holiday abroad this summer, and the charity said Ehryn was “thrilled” to act as its ambassador in collecting the donation.
Pupil Taylor Patient said: “We felt Logan’s Fund was the perfect organisation to donate our profits to as we were moved by the kindness of this charity and how the money we raised would be used to help suffering families.
“We were completely astounded and delighted by our finishing profit of £3446.00.”
Miss Paterson added: “Meeting Ehryn and knowing she would benefit from the money we raised in our enterprise project was really great.
“She is a lovely brave wee girl and is very deserving of the opportunities Logan’s Fund grant.”
