MORAY MSP PRESENTS STEP BY STEP IN MORAY WITH CHARITY CHRISTMAS CARD COMPETITION CHEQUE
31/01/2025Richard Lochhead has presented local charity Step By Step in Moray with a cheque for £2,250 today.
Mr Lochhead was able to provide Step By Step in Moray with the donation thanks to the sponsorship of his charity Christmas card competition by local businesses and he was joined by representatives of some of the businesses who sponsored the competition for the handover at Step By Step in Moray in Elgin.
Primary school pupils from across Moray were invited to submit their ‘friendship’ themed designs for the front cover of Richard’s card, with Marfa Sivko of East End Primary School announced as the winner of the competition last month.
Commenting, SNP MSP Richard Lochhead said:
"I always enjoy running my Christmas card competition every year and, once again, I am delighted with and extremely grateful for the support from local businesses which has meant we’ve been able to present Step By Step in Moray with £2,250 – a joint record amount raised by my card.
"It was great to see for myself at one of their groups when I visited them last week the power of work Step By Step in Moray do supporting families in Moray and I know the money will be well used to continue this work.”
Gareth Jenkins, Project Manager at Step By Step in Moray added:
“We are extremely grateful to Richard, his team and all the sponsors of the Christmas card. The amount raised was beyond our expectations and will make a real difference to our families as we continue to support them through whatever issues and challenges they may be facing.”
