Generous nine-year-old raised £230 for Highland Hospice as part of work to complete a Brownies badge

Breagha MacKenzie, who has been in 1st Milton of Leys Brownies for over a year and was previously in Rainbows, decided to complete her charity badge.

She hosted a wine raffle, which consisted of a £5 donation to the hospice and a bottle of wine, selling 46 tickets. The first prize winner received 30 bottles.

She chose to donate to the Highland Hospice as she has had friends and family who have been helped by the charity and had outstanding service and care, so wanted to give back and say thanks.

Breagha and her mum, Catherine MacKenzie, said they are thankful to family, neighbours and the wider community for their support.

Breagha is working towards her Gold award in Brownies, and the charity badge will help her achieve this.
