Employees at the University of the Highlands and Islands have raised thousands of pounds for the Highland Foodbank.
A sum of £4,135.17 has been donated to the Inverness-based charity to support people facing financial crisis and unable to buy food.
Staff took part in a range of activities to raise cash for the Foodbank after they voted for it to be their charity of the year.
Events included bake sales, raffles, a bowling night and a bag pack at Asda in Inverness.
In Spring 2014, seventeen employees walked, cycled, swam or ran for more than three miles every day for 50 days in the 5 x 50 Challenge, raising £826.88.
Other members of staff raised £287 by completing events in Baxters Loch Ness Festival of Running in September 2014.
Jacki Graham from Nairn, a quality monitoring officer at the university, said: “The target of covering over three miles a day was easily reached and many participants kept it up throughout the remainder of the year. Staff at the university put in a great effort to raise as much as possible for the Foodbank and will no doubt outdo themselves in their fundraising activities for 2015.”
Lorna Dempster, Highland Foodbank coordinator for Inverness and Nairn, said: This is an amazing amount of money which has been raised and will be so helpful to us as we continue to provide food to those within our communities who are in crisis.”
