A TOTAL of nearly £8,000 has been donated to support victims of sexual assault in Fife.

Craig Orr, from Lodge 781 Thane of Fife in Cowdenbeath, has raised £7,940 from local Masonic Lodges to go towards NHS Fife.

An NHS Fife spokesperson said: "The money will be used by our gender-based violence team, based at Whyteman's Brae Hospital in Kirkcaldy, to fund the purchase of toiletry packs for women who come into the service and choose to have a medical examination."
