KILWINNING Football Academy stars made a kind donation to help Stevenston care home residents stay in contact with loved ones.

The Three Town’s Care Home in Stevenston was presented the gift earlier in the month, before others were handed out across the area.

A spokesperson for KCFA said: “We have managed to secure a grant in order to support us in providing an online service and helping the members of the community who may not have access to technology, the internet or be able to afford mobile/ data top ups.”

“We will support our members and communities’ physical and mental health during these challenging times.”

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We’re not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Irvine Times, and the vital local news service we’ve provided since 1873, is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Irvine Times in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you’re shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

Thanks – and stay safe.
