Well done to the group last night from @harlaw_academy who won the £3,000 for The Archie Foundation! Well done and congrats to all who presented 🥳🎉🌟

What a wonderful end to the week, seeing 6 groups at @BalfronHighS tell us about social issues and charities that matter to them. Groups presented with passion and creativity. The winning group not only gave us a stark visual representation on how many people are living in poverty and the effects that can have but also engaged their audience with a fun and informative quiz. Well done to everyone and especially the worthy winners representing @AberlourCCT
