Garreth Wood is to donate £250,000, from his restaurants, to a number of children's charities.

Garreth, the son of oil tycoon Sir Ian Wood, owns The Boozy Cow restaurants in Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

The profits will go to the Children's Hospice Association CHAS, the Archie Foundation, VSA, which focuses on social care, STV's Childrens appeal and the Youth and Philantrophy Initiative, Edinburgh.

Garreth Wood said: "Every single penny of profit of our Boozy Cow restaurants will go to registered charities.

"Life is a careful balance between what you do for yourself, and what you do for others, and to finally share this profit with our partner charities has been something of a dream for the group and for me personally.''

CHAS chief executive Marie McGill said: We are so pleased that the Boozy Cow has chosen to work with CHAS.

"This gift will be used to help pay for important work at Robin House, our hospice in Balloch for babies, children and young people.''
