Hawick garage Craig Motors Ltd has been helping to support the Heart of Hawick Children's Book Award with a novel approach to crowdfunding!
The company puts £1 from every MOT it carries out over a year into a book fund, which is held centrally for the benefit of Hawick schools. For the last two years, this money has funded schools buying extra copies of the shortlisted books for the award.
This year, Drumlanrig St Cuthbert’s Primary School pupils were presented with a cheque from Laura Craig from Craig Motors Ltd. Nearly £500 has been raised so far, and all schools in the Hawick area can apply for some of the money.
Craig Motors owner David Craig said he was delighted to be supporting local schools for a good cause.
