In addition, Fowler McKenzie funded of a summer trip for 17 families from Cummings Park - including 34 children and 23 adults – to Blair Drummond Safari Park.

Phil Mckenzie, Fowler McKenzie managing director, said: “Supporting local communities is a core part of who we are at Fowler McKenzie. We’re especially committed to helping young people growing up in Aberdeen’s most disadvantaged areas access the opportunities they deserve.
“All Life Chances is doing incredible work by bringing partners together to drive real change, and we’re proud to be part of that mission.
“We were also delighted to help make some special memories for families from Cummings Park. Experiences like a trip away can have a lasting impact, and every child deserves that.”
