Phil Anderson Financial Services matched Skipton Building Society’s donation, and presented Aberdeen Cyrenians with an additional £1,000, bringing their donation total to £2,000.
Phil Anderson, said, “I’m delighted my nomination for Aberdeen Cyrenians was selected by Skipton Building Society. It is great to help a charity who look after the most vulnerable people in our region, and it’s particularly gratifying to be able to give a little back, especially this time of year. We hope the donation helps Aberdeen Cyrenians to continue their excellent work within Aberdeen city.”
