The New Year started off on a great footing for Kidney Kids Scotland, as kind-hearted personnel within Area 4 at the Petroineos refinery handed over a cheque for £1913 raised from their Christmas raffle. Making the donation to representatives from Kidney Kids were: Karen Fulton and John Kennedy (both Petroineos), Brian Hughes (Doosan) and Steven Penman (Balfour Beatty). For the past five years members of the refinery team have gone 'all out' supporting their chosen charity that has seen them raise in excess of £35,000 for Kidney Kids.
Petroineos was formed in 2011 as a joint venture between INEOS and PetroChina to own and operate the crude oil refinery at Grangemouth.
Sheena Dunsmore, Manager, Kidney Kids Scotland said: "Petroineos has been extremely supportive of Kidney Kids Scotland and we are delighted that the people working in Area 4 of the refinery selected us as their 'chosen charity'. Their donations along with others we receive make such a significant difference to the lives of the young people and their families that we support in the Forth Valley and across Scotland."
