A CHARITY offering a transport service to people with cancer in Ayrshire needs support to help patients over the festive season.

Ayrshire Cancer Support recognises that the lead-up to Christmas is often the busiest times for families and so getting to and from hospital can be difficult.

Through its Give a Gift of Care this Christmas scheme, the charity provides free hospital transport for people who find the journey too gruelling to make alone.

But the service relies on donations to offer this service.
