THE new MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath has pledged to be part of the Splash for Cash event on Wednesday.

Neale Hanvey, who was only elected on December 12, was at an event at Benarty Centre and having heard about the Splash for Cash event, decided he should give it a go Splashing 4 Cash 4 Benarty Fundraisers!

He tweeted: "Delighted to help support this great community as we celebrate New Year by jumping in the loch.

"Benarty has a fantastic community spirit and really pull together to look after each other. Jumping in the loch is the very least I can do!"

Neale is running a crowdfunding page in the run-up to Wednesday Splash!
