Energy firm workers donate to charity that helped colleague’s daughter

WORKERS at a north-east energy company have donated £1500 to a sensory charity that supported a staff member’s young child who has a visual impairment.

The Aberdeen base of Nippon Gases handed over a cheque to North East Sensory Services (NESS) after the workforce won a step challenge that saw them compete against other divisions.

Scott Walker from Aberdeen nominated NESS for the donation after the charity helped his daughter Lexi when their family first found out she was blind in one eye. Lexi, now 15, was born without an optical nerve behind her right eye. However, it was not picked up on until she was four.
