THE BURNS Club of Oban has donated £600 to a local charity and primary schools following a successful Burns Supper in January.
The club handed over £300 to the HCPT Group 43, which takes young people with social, emotional, or physical difficulties on a pilgrimage holiday to Lourdes in the south of France. It costs around £1,000 per person to attend the event, and this year HCPT Group 43 is taking nine people, three of whom come from Oban.
The club donated a further £300 to local primary schools to fund Burns activities within their schools.
