A Moray company has stepped in to help with the clean-up costs at Leanchoil.
Macgregor Industrial Supplies have donated all the personal protective clothing needed for volunteers assisting with clearing work at the former hospital.
Accepting the delivery of hard hats, gloves, face masks and hi-vis vests from Macgregor’s Senior Team Leader, Fiona Laing, Leanchoil Trust’s volunteer coordinator, Michelle Gillibrand said the donation was timely.

“This is a wonderful gesture,” she said.
“The Trust has a duty of care toward all those who volunteer to help us, and having the support and guidance from such a well-known professional company that specialises in PPE has been so welcome.
“We can now proceed with our first clean-up day on August 23rd knowing those giving their time and energy will be properly protected.”
Macgregor Industrial Supplies, which has branches across Scotland, provides a huge range of supplies to local industries, including construction, agriculture, cleaning, hospitality and ground care.
The offer of support to Leanchoil Trust came as part of the firm’s charitable activities. It has previously supported local causes such as Highland Hospice, Mikeysline and Cash for Kids- Mission Christmas.
Fiona Laing said: “We are delighted to help this important project in any way we can.
“The company encourages our employees to take an active role in charitable efforts, whether by joining the firm’s Charity Committee, organising events, or simply supporting fundraising initiatives.
“At MacGregor Industrial Supplies, we take pride in fostering a culture of giving back and making a lasting impact in our communities.”
Chair of Leanchoil Trust, Marianne Nicolson, thanked Macgregor’s for their donation.
“When we are given such valuable support by local companies such as this, it’s a great personal boost to those that have been working to get to the stage we are at but, more so, it sends a strong signal beyond our borders that our community is behind us.”
