Research firm Ipsos MORI asked the MSP to take part in an interview and offered a donation to charity if he agreed to take part. Mr Stevenson did so and nominated the Cystinosis Foundation as the worthy recipient.
Mr Stevenson presented the cheque to Fraserburgh woman Mrs Elizabeth Forsyth who is a well-known local fundraiser for the charity at one of her charity stalls recently.
Commenting, Stewart said:
“I get approached to take part in these surveys and research interviews from time to time in my role as an MSP. Most of them usually offer a fee for taking part and I donate these to good causes around the constituency.
“I know that Mrs Forsyth has been a long-time fundraiser for the Cystinosis Foundation and spends much of her weekends engaged in charity work, so I was pleased to be able to provide a modest boost to her efforts.”
