A fundraising football event held in Inverness has so far raised £17,000 towards its target of £20,000.

The Sneckie Insomnia Soccer Festival was held overnight at Highland Rugby Club last month.

Ruathy Donald, CHAS community fundraiser, said: “The day was a huge success with 25 teams taking part in the evening adult session and over 700 kids taking part in the afternoon with a session partnered by the Scottish Football Association (SFA) and supported by Dicksons Motor Group.

“It was fantastic to see so many members of the local community take part, young and old, all coming together to help raise vital funds for the children supported by CHAS and also the children of Ukraine.”
