Highland construction firms in boost to cystic fibrosis charity

WORK to help young Highlanders with cystic fibrosis has received a boost from two construction firms.

Howdens in Inverness and Opus Carpentry in Stornoway have donated £200 apiece towards The Leanne Fund. The cash will help the charity raise awareness and assist those with the genetic condition, which affects lungs and the digestive system and leaves them clogged with thick mucus.

Chrisetta Mitchell, development manager for The Leanne Fund said: “We are very grateful to Opus Carpentry Ltd and Howdens for their generous donations which will assist our work.

“We are currently moving forward with our dvelopment project to offer support services to even more young people across the Highlands and Islands and Grampian and these donations will assist with that work.”
