Fochabers firefighters to hand out charity cash boost

LOCAL charities serving the Fochabers area are set for a Christmas cash boost thanks to the village's retained firefighters.

Members of the team were out and about during the festive season collecting not just in the streets of Fochabers but also Mosstodloch, Garmouth, Kingston and Spey Bay.

Thanks to their efforts and the generosity of householders, a total of £1038. This will be split between local good causes and the Firefighters' Charity.

Special thanks from the team go to McGregor's of Elgin for the use of a generator, Fochabers Co-op for donating sweets to hand out, Lizzie and Bob Sharp for a donation and to everyone who donated.
