STAFF at a convenience shop in Ayr made a generous donation for elderly residents in a care home last week.

The Co-op Sandgate team collected essential items and goodies to be handed into South Lodge Care Home.

South Ayrshire Council who run the Home thanked the store for their donation.

A spokesperson said: “We want to say thank you to the Co-op in the Sandgate, Ayr, for their generous donation to South Lodge Care Home.”

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We're not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Ayr Advertiser, and the vital local news service we've provided since 1803, is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Ayr Advertiser in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you're shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

Thanks – and stay safe.
