Kind-hearted staff and customers at The Original Factory Shop in Stewarton have raised over £1,700 for the Ayrshire Hospice. 

The shop handed over a cheque for £1,714.21 to the charity, which provides care to those with life-limiting illnesses. 

Customers at the store have been taking part in raffles and donating second hand books, as well as purchasing carrier bags. 

A spokesperson said: "We were very pleased to hand over this cheque for £1714.21 to Ayrshire Hospice



"We couldn’t have done it without all the support our customers give us by buying raffle tickets or our second hand books handed in by you all as well as swiping or scanning the TOFSCLUB and purchasing carrier bags.

"We hope this money helps and we can’t wait to raise even more this year."
