PICTURES: Arty youngsters help draw in cash for Highland charity

Arty kids help raise cash for a good cause.

ARTventurers, from the SCY centre in Culloden, had a great time getting creative while raising £339 for the MFR Cash for Kids Mission Christmas campaign.

The group had a festive party but instead of charging people to attend, it asked for donations.

Linsey Macrae, the organiser of ARTventurers in the area, had set a target of £300, so she was delighted when the total was even higher.

She said: “It was a great day and we had lots of Christmas photos so everyone was happy.

“I would like to say a huge thank you in recognition of the kids and their families who came along to support the appeal, and I want to thank everyone for their donations.”

Aside from the cash, the group handed in a big bundle of gifts as well.

The aim of the MFR Cash for Kids Mission Christmas campaign is to donate gifts to children living in poverty across the region.
