STAFF at an Auchinleck store are joining their colleagues from across Ayrshire as they hit a purple patch.

The team at Tesco in the town will join forces with 12 others in support of the Ayrshire Hospice.

As part of a dedicated fundraising drive, the store managers and community champions will be fundraising with a series of planned activities in their local stores.

This includes Go Purple day on Friday, October 13, when the 2,000 people employed by Tesco in Ayrshire take part in the challenge.

Visit social media for updates on Tesco’s fundraising efforts, while the community fundraising team can give more information on raising funds for the hospice.

E-mail community@ayrshirehospice.org Or call 01292 288488 where the hospice staff will be happy to help.
