Staff have collected £400 over the year through monthly ‘dress-down’ Friday and then selected Women’s Aid and Alzheimer’s Scotland to receive £200 each.
Jackie Macleod who co-ordinated the collections said “We picked these charities because they do excellent work but do not always receive the support and recognition they deserve. We are very proud to be able to support some of our most needy families and elderly citizens at this time of year.”
Katie MacPherson at Alzheimer’s Scotland said “We are very grateful to the staff of HHP for this donation which helped make our Xmas dinner this year even more special”.
