Kind-hearted workers at Kilwinning Community Sports Club have been busy during lockdown helping those who are vulnerable and shielding.

They have been delivering essentials and picking up prescriptions for those who need them and have been a great listening ear to people who are living alone.

Dog walking has also been one of their daily activities, for anyone who needed some extra help.

Well done to all of the incredible staff and volunteers.

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.
