Dingwall Tesco community mini market fundraiser in aid of Highland Hospice Ness Factor singer is 'huge success'

The community mini market held in the Tesco Dingwall car park was hosted in support of Joanne Ross who is performing in the Ness Factor finals.

This year the winner receives a coveted place to perform at Belladrum Tartan Festival 2024.

The fundraiser mini market on August 27 attracted over 40 different stalls from across Ross-shire to the store's car park area.

The market was organised by community champion at Tesco Dingwall, Michelle Mackay. She said: "The community mini market was another huge success, this time with proceeds going to the Highland Hospice for Joanne Ross' Ness Factor.

"Joanne raised an incredible £607 from stall fees, donations and selling raffle tickets. There was a great community vibe all day and all the stall holders seemed to do well."

There are now only 10 remaining contestants in the Ness Factor, who are receiving vocal coaching from Tony Henry, Katie–Louise Mackay and Fiona Forbes.

The winner will be chosen from a combination of judges scoring, individual fundraising and votes from the audience.
