Dean's of Huntly back two great causes

Dean's of Huntly have handed over sizeable donations to two great local causes.

Kayleigh’s Wee Stars and Mental Health Aberdeen are the company's two chosen charities.

Each have received a half share of £2609.84.

Founded in 2012 and based in Oldmeldrum, Kayleigh’s Wee Stars provides financial support for families where a child has a terminal illness.

Meanwhile, thousands of people from across the North East have been helped by Mental Health Aberdeen over the course of the past 70 years.

Moira Falconer, the HR manager at Dean's, explained that the company was glad to have re-introduced its charity partner scheme following a break due to the pandemic.

She said: "During 2022 we were able to re-start our fundraising.

"We also retained the two charities from 2020 before Covid arrived.

"It's our staff that decide who the company should support each year.

"It's great that we can do something in the community. It's something we will continue to do."

The cash was raised thanks to a car boot sale as well as a collection box in the company's gift shop.
