Zander McNaughton, o-director of Specsavers in Falkirk and Grangemouth, said: “While the Scottish Music Awards is a fantastic celebration of Scottish music, it’s important to remember that it also supports a charity that offers a vital service to so many
“We were proud to join together with our fellow stores and audiology and Home Visits services in Scotland to donate £15,000 collectively and we’re delighted that this will cover the costs of hundreds of music therapy sessions for four projects Nordoff Robbins supports across Scotland.”
