OVER 150 MORAY volunteers aged from 16 to 87 are set to attend a social evening hosted by Moray Council at the Elgin Town Hall this weekend.

All are Health and Social Care volunteers who have been invited in recognition of their efforts throughout the region in helping the service that has been running for five years, supporting people on a one-to-one basis and in group activities.

Their roles vary from community alarm responders to day service activities. Others have been ‘buddies’ supporting people in projects such as Greenfingers, Artisans and Harlequins.

The social event will include entertainment throughout the evening with Richard Lochhead MSP attending as the guest speaker.
