Only one could win the £3000 donation, and that was the team of Callum Bloomfield, Tayler Adamson and Jamie Demirkoc for Bo’ness Storehouse.

Michael Wheatley, chairman of Bo’ness Storehouse, said: “Bo’ness Academy are long-term supporters of The Storehouse but the additional help we have received from them, and many other organisations and individuals in the town, over the past 18 months has been so important in helping The Storehouse meet the exceptional need for our services.

"The news that we are to receive £3,000 through the efforts of The Academy’s S3s Callum, Tayler and Jamie is simply fantastic. The award will go a long way help the work of The Storehouse in these uncertain times.”
