Lynne Murrie, from Burghead, has been a keen supporter of the local charity which has supported children in the region for over five years.

As such, Lynne has decided to get the fundraising ball rolling again this year with a charity market to be held in Burghead on June 18 from 10am until 12pm.

Lyyne said: "We have already taken bookings for tables and have a number left. We are very excited to get back out there and start fundraising again."

Vicky Flood, Community Development officer for the charity, added: "Lynne approached us with her idea for the fundraiser and were delighted she had chosen Moray School Bank.

"There have been 632 referrals for 21/22 and we are already starting to get referrals for the summer term starting in August 2022.

"Any and all support the community can help with is just fantastic. All the work we do and fundraising that is done is all to support the children and young people in Moray."

Moray School Bank supports children in the community by lightening the financial burden of families facing hardship and poverty.

A raffle will also be held on the day while a children's face painter will donate 50 per cent of their proceeds to the charity as well.

It is hoped that enough funds will be raised from the raffle and the tables to sponsor a child for going back to school in August.

If you would like to donate something for the raffle, contact Lynne on 07814997389.

If you would like to secure a booking contact Moray School Bank on info@morayschoolbank.org. Tables are £10.
