THE Healthy Working Lives group from Cunninghame Housing Association handed over £780 worth of Christmas gifts to North Ayrshire Women’s Aid earlier this month.

The presentation was made to Mary Copeland from Women’s Aid at the Association’s new Quayside offices in Ardrossan on Friday, December 15.

Allison McColl, Director of Corporate Services, whose department is responsible for co-ordinating the Healthy Working Lives initiative said that she was “over the moon” with the work done by the Healthy Working Lives group in raising funds to purchase this amount of toys for children in need over the Christmas period.

Mary Copeland, Counselling Support, North Ayrshire Women’s Aid said: “On behalf of everyone at North Ayrshire Women’s Aid we would like to extend our thanks to all involved and say that we are totally overwhelmed by the generosity and support given to our organisation for our Christmas Appeal. The gifts received were taken straight out to families and gratefully received. Your continued support allows us to help many women and families over the Christmas period and beyond. Merry Christmas to everyone from all of us.”
