The Charities Bazaar organised by Voluntary Action Orkney which took place on Saturday 18th November was a huge success.

Upstairs at the Kirkwall Town Hall was busy as Orkney folk came out to support their local charities.

The stalls were marvellous with everything from the traditional tablet for sale to products from Mongolia and Palestine.

There was even a special visitor.

It was a tremendous event where local charities could not only raise much needed funds but also raise awareness about what they do in the community.

The Young Enterprise teams from both Kirkwall Grammar School and Stromness Academy had their products on sale.
