The Whitlees Centre committee were joined by the Whitlees Gala Queen and her court when they accepted a cheque of £202 from the manager and staff of McColl’s in Central Avenue, Ardrossan. A spokesperson from the shop said: “It is wonderful that we have raised £202 and donated it to Whitlees Community Centre, a local and worthwhile cause. This donation is a great example of our giving and helping ethos. We believe it is important to give something back to our customers who support us and help raise money by purchasing specific products in store. “I hope our customers will continue to support the scheme and our funds build up again so we can donate to another charity.”
