Support the Ardrossan Herald and be in with the chance of winning amazing prizes worth over £400

We have had lockdown, social distancing, shops, pubs and restaurants closing and we have been unable to hug our family and friends in these most difficult of times. 

We have come so far in this time and now that there is some light at the end of the tunnel, we have teamed up with five local businesses who know the value of the community spirit in North Ayrshire. 

These businesses know how valuable local journalism is and are supporting your Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald but we also know the value of these businesses and will be shining a spotlight on them and their work over the next few weeks on our website and in our print edition. 

As you may already know, times are tough for a lot of industries and newspapers are no different, but you can help secure the long term future of your paper and be in with the chance of winning prizes worth more than £400 in the process. 

All you have to do to enter is be amongst the first 100 people to sign up for our new subscription service for our website. There are two options when signing up, a monthly or yearly subscription, both of these are massively valued and both will be valid as an entry and you can see all details here.

Here are the wonderful prizes on offer and a little more about the businesses supporting your paper:
