Little Ava raises £950 for charity
PRIMARY one pupil Ava McNaught from Lochgoilhead has raised £950 for two charities.
Ava, aged 5, is competing on Sunday November 5 in the final of Junior Miss Scotland, an event that raises awareness and funds for the United Together Foundation which tackles racism, discrimination and bullying.
Ava has also chosen to raise money for Scottish Autism. Her four-year-old brother Liam has autism and the family hopes to raise awareness and understanding of this condition.
Funds raised prior to the competition will be split between the two charities.
During the October holidays, Ava, Liam and other family members completed a sponsored hill climb of The Steeple, a 378-metre high hill behind Lochgoilhead.
The family previously raised £400 for Lochgoilhead Primary School which it put towards a fund to buy sensory equipment for autistic children.
