Legal firm Munro and Noble's gift for soldiers’ children going back to school in Inverness
Children of Army families in Inverness have received a back to school gift from a city legal firm.
Munro and Noble, who have forged a partnership with the local military, donated 100 pencil case kits for distribution by the Army Welfare Office in Wimberley Way.
Trainee solicitor Steven Grant, from Inverness, handed over the kits to the 3 Scots Welfare Officer, Captain Richard Grisdale.
The move by the legal firm was warmly appreciated by the families involved and it has received positive feedback from within the military community and on social media.
Laura McCarthy, a partner at the law firm whose husband is a soldier, organised food parcels when a Fort George detachment was deployed to Afghanistan in 2020.
She said: “Army families are also feeling the financial pinch through inflation and rocketing energy prices, so we felt that giving pencil case kits to kids going back to school would be another thing their mums and dads wouldn’t have to buy.”
The reception area in Munro and Noble’s Inverness office, in Church Street, now has cushions with the Royal Regiment of Scotland logo on one side and the firm’s on the other, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to the armed forces.
