Ayrshire Cancer Support (ACS) is encouraging people to take part in its Christmas Jumper, Hat or Socks campaign.

The charity is asking groups and workplaces to allocate a day in December for everyone to take part in the fundraising initiative, with each participant donating £2.

Staff at Barclay’s have already donned their favourite festive clothes to raise money for ACS.

Martin Quigley, fundraising manager, said: “It’s a great way for your business to come together, get hyped up for Christmas and make a difference to people in Ayrshire affected by cancer.

“You can even have a competition as to the best jumper or hat and remember to take photos and post them on Facebook.

“Have fun, have a laugh and raise funds to help cancer patients and their families reach the services they desperately need.”

Groups can register and receive a free fundraising pack by contacting fundraising@ayrshirecs.org or by calling 01563 475025.
