Four charities which help those facing homelessness or financial pressures have received a share of £2,000 thanks to Ayrshire Housing.

The Association, which always supports worthy causes at this time of year, shared the donation between Care and Share, Cash for Kids – Ayrshire, the Salvation Army and the South Ayrshire Foodbank.

In addition, £500 was gifted to Girvan Primary School’s fund in recognition of their pupils’ contribution to Ayrshire Housing’s seasonal card.

Salvation Army lieutenant Tim Stone said: “Ayrshire Housing’s generous donation will help us support those facing crisis here in Ayr. It’s much appreciated.”
