The Archie Foundation has just launched its summer campaign urging to people to picnic outdoors.
A charity is urging people across the north of Scotland to raise vital funds for them this summer – simply by having a picnic.
The Archie Foundation wants people to get together for a picnic, and has teamed up with three local firms who will provide all the goodies required.
Grazey Days, Perfect Platter and We Love Platters will make up picnic boxes, and donate £5 from each one to the charity.
A Sunshine Picnic – an afternoon of sandwiches, cake and prosecco – is also be being held at Culloden House in Inverness on August 21 and 22, though tickets are limited.
