Dingwall Tesco champion heads west for Strathgarve, Gairloch and Poolewe drops





A DINGWALL superstore’s community champion was a woman on a mission as she headed west to make some drop-offs.

Michelle Mackay’s itinerary took in two primary schools and recently re-opened care home — along with some stunning scenery along the way.

‘Amazing’ response of Dingwall shoppers hailed by community champion

The community champion for Tesco’s Dingwall store was out and about delivering donations with the first stop Strathgarve Primary to hand over a crate of stationery goodies.

She said: “The children were delighted. Keep an eye out for these kids, they may be coming for a visit in store soon.”

After that it was on to Gairloch to visit Strathburn House.

She said: “They have undergone a brilliant refurb. I donated them 24 table lamps to have in the residents’ rooms and communal areas.”

Michelle said the store has some ‘clear to zero’ items which are gradually being donated to the local community “hoping to make a small difference”.
