PICTURES: Friends from Culduthel Mains Gardens in Inverness raise more than £600 by organising jumble sale for Ukraine
Four Inverness youngsters who were concerned with events in Ukraine decided to hold a jumble sale to raise more than £600 to help.
The four friends from Culduthel Mains Gardens set out a table in a green area in their street and sold a variety of items.
It was organised by Lucy Abernethy, Martha Macdonald, and Hollie Stephen, who all go to Lochardil Primary School, and their friend Halle Cran who attends the Gaelic school.
Items which were for sale included crafts, pictures, baked goods, headbands and they also held a raffle on Saturday.
Lucy’s dad Keith said he was pleased with what his daughter and her friends had achieved, adding: “Between the four of them they came up with this idea. It was their idea and they pushed it.”
He said he was “taken aback” by his daughter’s reaction to the news. He said: “As parents we thought it was a good idea and a good thing to do.”
After the event was publicised through the street’s Facebook page people came from the wider area to support the cause.
Mr Abernethy said they raised well over £600 and the money was donated to the Ukraine appeal at the local post office.
