Christmas charity donation

While I am sure many of you won’t thank me for the reminder, we are fast approaching the festive season. As part of the season of goodwill Provost Webster, Council Leader Jim Gifford and I make an annual donation to local charities on behalf of Aberdeenshire Council.

Last year my donation was split between Strathbogie Riding for the Disabled and Kayleigh’s Wee Stars, two incredibly deserving Aberdeenshire charities which, respectively, provide therapy through horse-riding for disabled adults and children and financial support for families with terminally ill children.

As with previous years I am now looking for suggestions of Aberdeenshire charities to receive my Christmas donation. Please post your suggestions in the comments below before Friday, November 7.
